So you bought some bright towels, but you know there’s no way they’ll stay bright after a few uses, right? I’m pretty sure this is one of the biggest reasons my mom would never buy anything other than white towels. But to be honest, I really like having bright, cheery colors.

To keep your towels bright, this is important to do the first few times you wash your bright towels: Pour a couple cups of salt into the washing machine. Bright towels will stay bright and fresh for a shockingly long time.
