In a post on , a cleaning fan called Leanne shared that she alters the detergent amount she washes her towels with.

Instead of a full capful, she tips half the amount into the machine drawer.

Additionally, the Australian mum adds some white cleaning vinegar.

She explains: "Set your machine to a regular wash, 60 degrees and 600 to 800 spin speed."

I LOVE fluffy towels! Trying this!

It works because the acetic acid in the vinegar breaks down excess detergent and build-up in the fibres.

Her post was popular with social media users, who left more than 400 'likes'.

One person wrote: "So good."
