Carolina McCauley, a mother of two from Perth, Australia, uses her own blend of laundry detergent, white vinegar and baking soda to keep towels fresh, shiny and soft to the touch.

Her first rule is to wash towels separately from other items and advises others to ‘take it easy with detergent’.

She put half a cup of baking soda in the bucket of the washing machine.

Busy moms choose to use white vinegar instead of fabric softener in the drawer of the washing machine because this helps create fluff.

White vinegar softens fabrics without using harsh chemicals that can be dangerous for young children.

To complete the delicate process, she washes the towels on medium heat – she sets them to 40c- in the washing machine.

She then does the same whenever she has a pile of towels to wash.

Carolina’s tried and tested method has been shown to soften formerly scratch-prone towels almost instantly.

Some viewers couldn’t help noticing a problem with Carolina’s method of making cotton towels, as one person commented: “White vinegar neutralizes soda.”

But then another user agreed with her natural and better alternative, saying: “That’s right, you should never use fabric softener on your towels.”

Her video has racked up nearly 70k views in just four days.
