Hi,
I've just bought a Bosch WDU28560GB Washer Dryer and need help and advice on what wash program, settings, laundry liquid and quantities are best for maintaining soft bath towels. I live in Oxfordshire, where the water is pretty "hard"
I am my wife's carer and she hates the way the towels are now, very hard and coarse.
Having purchased replacement towels, I don't want to repeat my past mistakes so any tips would be most welcome. Thank you

Advice sought on keeping towels soft with Bosch WDU28560GB washer dryer
- The problem
- The owner of a Bosch WDU28560GB washer dryer wanted advice on wash settings and products to stop bath towels becoming hard and coarse, particularly in a hard-water area.
- Likely cause
- The discussion suggests the rough texture was mainly due to the drying method, with towels becoming rough when line-dried and especially when left out too long and over-dried. Fabric softener was also mentioned as likely to help.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to dry towels at least partially in the tumble dryer rather than only on the washing line. Using fabric softener was also recommended as a way to improve softness. No specific wash programme, detergent type or dosage was provided.
- Checks to try
- Comparison between tumble drying and line drying was discussed
- Over-drying on the line was identified as making towels rough

Hi old fella. Sorry about the delay in replying. We found that the only way to get nice soft towels is to dry them, at least partially in a tumble dryer. They come out lovely and soft. If you hang them out to dry on the line they can get very rough, especially if they are left out too long get over dry.
Obviously using fabric softener should help too.
