According to Mila, the first thing you need to do is set your washing machine to between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius.
Throw your towels in and add liquid detergent as well as half a cup of plain, white vinegar instead of fabric softener.
'Do the wash as normal, shake the towels and let them air dry when they come out until nearly dry,' Mila said.
'Then, tumble dry them for just a few minutes until completely dry. This will help with softness and absorbency,' she said.

The reason why vinegar works so well instead of fabric softener is that it 'breaks down the residue from detergents leaving the towels soft and fresh'.
A two-litre bottle of plain, white vinegar typically costs around $1.20 from the supermarket.
Others swear by using vinegar in with everything they wash - from their sheets and towels to jeans and T-shirts.

This isn't the first time Mila has shared a home tip online with her thousands of followers.
Last month, the mum went viral after revealing how she cleans her microwave in just four minutes, removing dirt, grime and baked-on food.
Mila said all you need is one cup of water and one teaspoon of washing detergent.
Then mix them together inside a jug and put it inside the microwave for four minutes.
Once you take the jug out of your microwave, you should simply wipe down the inside and door with a clean cloth.
'No more scrubbing,' Mila captioned her video.
'Gently wipe the microwave and watch the grime slide off. The steam environment softens all the stubborn, baked-on food and makes it very easy to clean.'
