I do use fabric conditioner and have a water softener but my fave towels are getting really hard. Weather permitting I dry them outside, otherwise in the boiler cupboard or over the banister. Not a great fan of using tumble dryer. I have heard of using white vinegar in the wash together with detergent but no conditioner. The towels in question must be between 5 and 10 years old. Anyone got any advice.

I was told years ago not to use fabric conditioner as residue build up after time making towels hard. Wash them on the hottest wash possible with soap powder, not detergent and all will be well.
