Detergent residue, fabric softener build-up, and damp storage conditions can cause towels to trap odors over time.
Solution:
Wash your towels with no detergent or softener in a hot water cycle first. This helps remove existing residue and prepares the fabric for deeper cleaning.
Step 2: Use White Vinegar
Why It Works:
White vinegar neutralizes odors and breaks down minerals and soap scum that contribute to musty smells.
How to Use It:
Add 1–2 cups of white vinegar to the washer during the rinse cycle.
Run a hot water wash cycle.
If the smell persists, repeat the vinegar wash before moving to the next step.
Step 3: Add Baking Soda
