I couldn’t tell you know many times I forgot my laundry in the washer. Anyone who has done this knows what kind of smell builds up on the towels. Even if you are not like me and remember to place the laundry into the dryer, after time towels will get a built up residue on them. This simple cleaning method will help bring life back into your towels. I normal do this once a month as part of my normal cleaning routine.

Directions To Remove Smells From Towels

Pour one cup of white vinegar right into the washer or in the soap dispenser, than run the washer with hot water. Once it has gone though one wash you now pour half a cup of baking soda right into the washer or in the soap dispenser and run it again with hot water. Don’t add any laundry soap or softener to wash. Then you dry your towels as you normal do.

I like your tips on smelly towels. I have a front loading washing machine and once I load and close it I can’t open it again to follow your next step. Do I add both products at the same time and let the machine dispense therm? Also, I noticed a box of baking soda
in your picture and not baking powder. Which one do I add?

The thing is you don’t realize the towels are stinky until after you use one to dry your face ?
