After you dry off with them, be sure that they are completely opened up on the towel rack, so they can dry well. Otherwise the next time you use it, it will smell musty. :-)After i use my clean bath towels they have a nasty smell to them. All of them stink. and its not me!!?
It sounds like you left them in the washer too long after washing them they will go sour. I use tide with frebreeze. As soon as they finish dry them. It worked for me.
Hang out to dry or use a dryer sheet, And dampness will cause a oder
Are you drying them fully? I have noticed that when I don't try my towels thouroughly they get a stale water smell.





After you shower try throwing your towel in the dryer instead of hanging it.
Never use fabric softener on towels.
That's the reason I don't use liquid fabric softener on my towels it makes them less absorbent and to me they smell when you dry on them. Try using fabric sheets see if that helps.=)
Face it, after you use your bath towels, they smell.


Well, that's just normal, even after showering with strong soap. When drying off, you are removing all the dead skin cells, and the towel is then full of them.





Solution: Launder the bath towel after using it.
wash them in hot water. sometimes it's just too humid and mold grows fast. they don't airdry fast enough because of the humidity. so they start smelling.
do you use well water?that could be it if you do
I have the exact same problems with my towels. I have found that soaking them in backing soda and water overnight then washing them works well. Its better then buying all new towels. I will send you the link to the article that helped me. good luck with your stink :)

I don't about what else you could use, but have you made sure that after using you hang your wet towel back up on the shower rod (with no folds) or something to prevent a musky or mildew smell.
I discovered this lovely issue myself during the hotter part of the year it's a combination of fabric softener and the washing machine. Run a load of whites through the wash with Bleach. Rewash your towels minus the fabric softener for the next load and stick with the dryer sheets til it cools off again. Mold is wicked here in Florida in the summer. Good Luck!
