Cleaning expert shares 29p kitchen staple that 'hotels use for soft and fluffy towels'

New towels are always soft and fluffy, but over the years they can become rough and scratchy after multiple washes.Even with an extra drop of fabric softener, it seems that once towels change texture, they are stuck that way forever.

But according to one cleaning icon, there is one eco friendly way you can restore them to their former glory - all you need is some white vinegar.Aggie MacKenzie is known as being half of the presenting team for the Channel 4 series How Clean is your House?

Appearing on ITV's This Morning on Monday, she said that the acidic liquid can be better for towels than costly chemical cleaners.The TV queen of clean spoke of the vinegar's versatility, saying it has "multi-uses" for cleaning and households “don’t need any fancy product at all” as long as they have a bottle at home.

When asked why white vinegar is so good for cleaning, Aggie said: “It’s an acid so it cuts through grease and soap.”As reported by the Express, Aggie highlighted that white vinegar is “fantastic” use when doing laundry, especially when it comes to washing towels. “A lot of people use conditioner with their towels to get them soft and fluffy", she said.However, the cleaning pro warned that using too much is what stiffens up a towel, adding: "The trouble with using too much conditioner each time you do the washing, a build-up of the product starts to form, and so the towels become hard, because there’s this layer of conditioner on the outside.”So to “cut through” that Aggie advised adding a cup of vinegar to the final rinse in the wash and that “takes away all the residue” of the conditioner.
