Towels in fresh favorite colors for little money - dye yourself

Towels in fresh favorite colors for little money - and the bathroom is beautiful.

After several years of use, the originally most beautiful towels gradually fall out and are turned into rags (or thrown away). New ones are expensive and if you prefer special colors, you will not always get the matching shades, if you can not buy all at once or wants new.

So it was then, and a larger number of hand and guest towels was almost unaffordable in the colors that I liked. Kunterbunt is not my personal thing, I like to mix colors in my flat. Since I have an open shelf in the bathroom, you can see the bath, hand and guest towels.


I have since gotten used to only white terry cloths (are available at Ikea -, 29 euros for 60 x 40 cm, bath mat -, 99 euros, on the Internet at several providers also very cheap or often in actions in furnishing markets), Buy washcloths and gloves as well as bath / shower rugs and color them with commercially available true colors in the machine itself (straight May green and sun yellow.

In the process, I discovered that terry cloth, which is still thin and threadbare in the store, becomes fluffy and dense after the first wash (which is necessary anyway before dyeing) and drying in the electric clothes dryer. And the combo in the picture I have now been in use for about 5 years. And when they are "done", it does not hurt.

(The picture is not the doll, but hopefully conveys what I want to show ...)

The true colors are available at 5.50 euros and are also boil-proof after about 3-4 60 ° C washes. For me one package for a machine (6.5 kg), that's about 20-25 towels. Depending on the amount of substance you can also color different color depths.


If you value it, you have just the colors you want for a small amount of money. And can (I have now) different color combos to? Wechselgarnitur? set.
