ideas how to brighten up my greying towels??

[lucysmam]

they're cream and fairly new, however, when i got them i didn't really think about footy playing oh or messy lo (i of course am perfect ) and they're now starting to look a bit grey and lifeless. Anyone any idea how to get them back to their original creamy loveliness or am i doomed to have greying towels forever

cheers janitor, will give it a go. anything's got to be better than how they are right now!

Get them hanging out on the washing line the first sunny day we get and leave them out all day. If it works for poo stained nappies it will definitely work on towels.

before washing TheProvincialLady? or after?

well I didn't know that. Will wash on a very hot wash, with bio powder and ace bleach and dry outside in the sun, if we ever get some more sunny weather

Yep, after. So now you just have to wait until summer 2009...fingers crossed

how did they come out then?

better than they were for sure! still the odd grubby mark but what can I expect with lo and footy playing oh around??! serves me right for getting cream towels really instead of more flattering black will do the same again the next time i get up to sunshiney weather!

where did yourname come from mildmanneredeelsmoker?
