make sure you hang them straight to dry after each use.My bath towels smell bad after one use, i wash with Tide, use a fabric softner, even added Borax to the wash,?
Clorox 2... let them soak in the washer then go thru the whole cycle... that should get it out. It could b the water... or if they were sitting damp for too long.. mold started to set in.
place towels up to dry dont wash a bug load together tide with bleach is safe maybe aextra rinse could help.
what kind of water do u have? sulpur water will do that. good luck
Are you letting them air dry after use? If you leave them all crumpled together in a basket or somewhere similar, they are probably mildewing before you wash them.
Wash with hot water and get them out of the washer as soon as they;re done.
You are not suppose to put fabric softners in towels. To get rid of the smell get ';Odors Out'; in market with cleaning products. Put 1 teaspoon in with towels in the wash cycle. In the rinse cycle put 1/4 cup White Vinager instead of softner. When drying make sure they are completely dry before folding.
the bad smell may be due to molds or some sort of bacteria. the most effective way to get rid of of these is by soaking it in a lysol-water solution (just follow the dilution instructions). the lysol may smell while the fabric is wet but once completely dry, your towels will smell clean and fresh.
baking soda is another alternative. try soaking it in baking soda %26amp; water, or you may put baking soda in your last rinse cycle (without fabric softener of course).
try rewashing again. try oxi-clean to break down anything left in the towels.
if your clothes are not smelly then it sounds like to me that you are not getting the towels dry enough and they are soured causing bacterias to grow.
rewash everything in the cabinet around them and dry till very dry on high heat.
clean the cabinet out with a disinfectant cleaner and place linens back on shelf. make sure they have room to breathe by letting air circulate around them or keep doors cracked for a while.
make sure towels are up off the floor or around damp places to create mold and mildew.
Try this.

A lot of other japanese products are specially formulated for indoor drying (mainly because there are a lot of high rise apartment/ condominium type residence in Japan I guess).
Anyway, not sure if it's available in your country, but I've been using Top and it smells real good after that even when it's left to dry indoor! ;-)
Good luck!
Add a box of baking soda to the wash water. Let it soak for 30 min. then turn back on. It should help.
yes,defiantly hang flat to dry out,and turn on the fan to dry out the bathroom as well.
If the walls smell bad where you hang the towels,it will transfer to the towels,which just means yet another chore,...omg.Personally,I believe bathrooms should be power-washable,...lol !
i think u should dry them
when ever u feel they are wet or somethin
