Towels that smell of mold

Certainly, having a dryer at home, especially in winter, prevents us from putting slightly damp clothes or towels in the drawer. We know well how even a slightly damp towel can end up developing a moldy odor, but not everyone has a dryer. So, let’s see some tips to eliminate the problem. And it’s not about fabric softener.

Soft and Absorbent Towels

Recognizing quality towels is easy. They are typically made from materials such as Egyptian cotton, Turkish cotton, or microfiber, which are soft, absorbent, and durable. The towel’s density is an indicator of quality. The higher the density, the softer, fluffier, and more absorbent the towel will be.

They are also well-finished with strong seams and no frayed edges, and absorbency power is another important factor in evaluating towel quality. However, even quality towels can become rough and smelly if not treated properly. One solution is to use white vinegar, an excellent alternative to fabric softeners.
