Step 1: Wash with Vinegar
- Place the towels in the washing machine.
- Add 1 cup of white vinegar (no detergent).
- Run a full hot water cycle.
Step 2: Wash with Baking Soda
- Leave the towels in the machine.
- Add ½ cup of baking soda.
- Run another hot water cycle (still no detergent).
Step 3: Dry Thoroughly
- Shake out the towels.
- Dry them immediately in the dryer or hang them in direct sunlight (sunlight kills bacteria naturally).
💡 Tip: Make sure towels are completely dry before folding and storing. Damp towels = bad smell.
🚫 Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Don’t overload your washing machine – towels need room to rinse.
- Don’t use fabric softener – it coats fibers and traps smells.
- Don’t leave wet towels in the machine – always transfer to the dryer or hang right away.
🌸 How to Keep Towels Smelling Fresh Every Day
- Hang towels fully spread out to dry between uses.
- Wash towels every 3 to 4 uses.
- Add ½ cup of vinegar to every third wash for odor prevention.
- Dry towels in the sun when possible.
