Stinky Towels?

I can’t believe I am about to admit this, but I used to have stinky towels. I’m a busy mom who starts a load of laundry, forgets all about it, and then two days later I remember I have wet towels in my washing machine. So, my towels were stinky.

A friend of mine gave me some great advice for washing towels- and it worked so well that I just have to share it with you. The next time you are washing your stinky towels set your washer to the hottest setting. Then add about a 1/2 cup of baking soda to your regular detergent. Let the water and soap get a good swish and then leave it overnight to soak. In the morning continue the cycle.

Even if your towels don’t stink- always do a second rinse when you are washing your towels. Also, it’s better if you don’t use fabric softeners on your towels. They will work better for drying you off if you don’t.
