The more dryer balls, the more they can separate the fabric.
you’re able to totally adjust as you go.”
Wash In Warm Water
Hot or cold,which temperatureshould you wash your towels and sheets in?
Vinegar rinses clean without leaving any residue,” says Piper.
“Odors are removed, too, unlike fabric conditioners that mostly just add fragrance.
Just add 12 cup of white vinegar to the fabric softener compartment during the rinse cycle.

Hang them outside or on a drying rack in the sun.
Sunlight naturally sanitizes, and air drying prevents the harshness of high heat.
Just dont leave them out too long to avoid stiffness.”
