My Nana Swears By This 1 Ingredient in the Wash to Soften Towels and Bed Sheets

There’s just something special about the way grandmas do laundry—everything smells better, feels softer, and somehow lasts longer. My Nana, in particular, has always had a way of making even the oldest towels feel like fluffy clouds and bed sheets feel like they belong in a luxury hotel.

So when I finally asked her what her secret was, she didn’t hesitate. “Just one ingredient,” she said with a wink.
