A WARM, fluffy towel covering your body after a relaxing shower is an unmatched feeling.

Though the softness of your towel is essential, you should ensure that your towel's absorbency level is up to par as well.

On her TikTok, cleaning enthusiast and housekeeper Vanesa Amaro explained why you shouldn't be washing your towels with fabric softener, despite the amazing scent.

"Fabric softener contains wax and oils. Oil repels water, which means if you wash your towels with fabric softener, they will not be as absorbent as they used to be," she explained.

Instead, she suggested using white vinegar, Borax, and OxiClean to remove any odors.

One TikTok commenter swore by this method: "YES! Ever since I stopped using fabric softener my towels have been so soft!
