Our bath towels smell musty when used. Tried different soaps and bleach products. Any ideas?

You are leaving them in the hamper where mold develops and causes the musty odor. If you continue to put damp towels in the hamper, you should buy only white towels.





White towels can be bleached. Like hotels do, they bleach the towels.Our bath towels smell musty when used. Tried different soaps and bleach products. Any ideas?
If they are left to dry in an environment where the air circulation is minimal this will happen to damp clothes including towels , my advise to you would be to change the towels every day and when you wash them use a good quality detergent like Tide ,rinse twice and dry them properly if they are stored while still a bit damp they will smell musty as well. The whole thing is to wash and dry them properly to avoid this problem.Our bath towels smell musty when used. Tried different soaps and bleach products. Any ideas?
Wash them in hot water and add one cup of white vinegar to the wash. And a half cup white vinegar to the rinse. Dry thoroughly.
It's really time to buy new towels
Wash them with baking soda and Tide.
I would use them for rags and buy new ones!
