I don't know about you but I HATE....HATE......HATE...the smell of soured towels. It really grosses me out and I have tried everything to remove it! I have bleached them over night...put in extra detergent....extra fabric softener...NOTHING was working. I couldn't figure out how they got this smell. I never leave them in the dryer very long and I never let them sit very long after being washed.
I then came across an article in a magazine talking about the sour scent from swimsuits. I used the same trick with towels and I was more than amazed!!!!!
Here is what you do:
Wash towels in a cup and a half of vinegar....I added a little more because I threw ALLLLLL the wash cloths and towels in. Make sure you put NOOO detergent and NOOO fabric softener in.
Do not dry yet!
Next wash it again with a cup and a half of baking soda. Make sure again you put NOOO detergent and NOOO fabric softener in.
After they are washed the second time. Put them straight into the dryer and HELLLLLO brand new fresh towels.
I looked up why this method works and it states that after many washes the towels will build up with detergent and fabric softeners and your towels will not absorb much water and start to smell. YUCK!
I hope this helped! If you try it please let me know how it worked for you.
Or if you have another trick, please share!
XOXOXOX,
Brianne
