Vinegar + Baking Soda = More Absorbent Towels

I ran to the store today and majorly stocked up on vinegar and baking soda.  It seems that almost everything I find, cleaning wise, on Pinterest calls for these two items.

One thing I found was using these on your towels would make them more absorbent.

Directions
1.  Pour 1 cup of vinegar into the washer with your towels.  Run through a normal cycle using hot water.
2.  When that load is complete, pour 1 cup of baking soda into the washer and run through a normal cycle using hot water.
3.  Dry towels as you normally do.
* Do not use laundry detergent to wash your towels!

Verdict:

3 stars - I was amazed how the vinegar smell was completely gone after the load with the baking soda.  This was my biggest concern.  I didn't notice that the towels were more absorbent after using them, but I did feel that they were really clean.  As a bonus, the whites were much brighter!
