Musky Smelling Towels

You can't lie to me.

I know that you have had the dillema of a musky smelling towel before. Whether it be a wash cloth, dish cloth, hand towel or bath towel. You thought you could simply just wash it and that Tide will do it's job. Problem solved.

Yeah, not really.

That musky smell needs a little kick in the butt to get rid of. Fear no more my friends! I possess the secret weapon! And about 99% of you do as well. Vinegar.



Yep, good ole white distilled vinegar. I have heard of people using baking soda and I've tried it before, but a clump was left on one of my husband's shirts and I had to hear about it for a while. Needless to say I now keep my baking soda far from my laundry room.

Just add 1/3 cup of vinegar to a full wash. Still add all that other good stuff as well, just throw in the vinegar as a bonus. I promise your towels will not smell like a pickle. And guess what else they won't smell like- musk.

I do this about once a month. I also do this with linen that has been sitting in the closet too long. Or a child's favorite blanket that has been puked on.

Now that you read this I better not catch you with some musky smelling towels.
