Stinky Towels Syndrome

Anyone have a towel that doesn't wash up nice and fresh? I've got a swimming towel that frankly smeels terrible now, even right after the wash. It smells stagnant, Mrs Stud won't even give it to the Dog LOL. I thought perhaps the machine isn't rinsing thoroughly but nothing else smells, clothes are fine and smell great. I'm forced to believe that it is something to do with the water at the YMCA...perhaps even after showering I am sweating chlorine or other things into the towel. Does anyone else have this issue or any thoughts. :rofl:

It just you and your unsanitary habits.:thhbbb: On a serious note, soaking them for and hour or two in the machine (with a touch more than the usual amount of detergent) before you start the wash cycle usually helps. Just put towels and detergent into the machine. Start the cycle. When the drum is full of water, pause or switch off the machine. After an hour or two switch it on again. Fabric softners help, too.
