But we’ve got questions about thecare considerations for white towels, and we know you do too.
Here are a few things to keep in mind before you set out to restock your linen closet.
Will Bleach Damage White Towels?
According to Clorox’s in-house scientist andcleaning expert Mary Gagliardi, aka Dr. ## Are All White Towels Safe to Bleach?
Sounds easy enough, right?
Priority one: checking the care label for ableach-safe iconor instructions for bleaching.
If the label says it’s bleach-safe, you’re good to go.
Otherwise, utilize the fabric composition as the deciding factor.
If it’s 100% cotton, you should be fine to bleach.
“If you really love your colorful towels, keep using them!”
She recommends a color-safe stain remover, likeClorox 2 for Colors 3-in-1 Liquid, along with your regular detergent.
And always wash towels in hot water to get them as clean as possible.
We love when everyone wins.
