Rather than replacing your towels if they come out smelling worse than before they went in try tackling the problem head on. Towel and clothing odor is caused by the bad smell being transferred from the clothes washer to them. Towels are thicker so the mold and mildew that accumulates inside the washer will permeate deeper into them. Also, towels are used when they’re wet and in close proximity to the face so odor is noticed more. To remove mold odor from towels and clothes the washer must be cleaned first. You’ve probably heard of a variety of strange, odor-eliminating home remedies, from washing your cheap washing machines out with Orange Tang to bucket loads of vinegar.
