That's News To Me!

Am I the only person alive that didn't know that you should not put fabric softener in when washing your towels??? Honestly, I've always used it in the washing machine and I've used the dryer sheets too because I figured it would make the towels nice and fluffy..just the way I like them. I recently learned that the fabric softener actually makes the fabric lose absorbency. So what's a girl to do to get her towels nice and fluffy?? Apparently, using a cup of white vinegar during the rinse cycle works well. I'm trying it now. I guess I must have been day dreaming during that instructional lesson with mom.
