Waffle Weave towels: Life Span?

[Woob]

Have you tried washing them in white vinegar or boiling to remove product build up?

I don't know when or how the vinegar suggestion started on here but in my experience it doesn't work and actually makes things worse. I tried it once and my towels ability to absorb was dramatically reduced. In fact they started to repel water not absorb. A hot water dawn wash restored them but it took a couple washes to do it.

Yes, I did. It didn't help.



FWIW, these towels I'm referring to were very clean.
