How to Keep Your Cotton Towels Soft & Fluffy (The Right Way)

Nothing ruins a good shower like a scratchy towel. The good news? 
Rough towels aren't a quality problem — they're a care problem.

Here's how to keep your smova towels soft for years:

1. Less detergent, not more
   Too much detergent builds up in the fibers. Use half the 
   recommended amount for towels.

2. Skip the fabric softener
   It sounds counterintuitive, but softener coats cotton fibers 
   and reduces absorbency over time. Instead, add ½ cup of white 
   vinegar to your rinse cycle once a month.

3. Don't over-dry
   High heat breaks down cotton fibers. Dry on medium heat and 
   remove while slightly damp — they'll finish air-drying perfectly.

4. Shake before folding
   A quick shake after the dryer fluffs the fibers back up instantly.

Follow these four steps and your smova towels will feel like 
new — every single time.
