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.

SCYFreestyler, you're right about grime getting picked up by towels.
As for the whole stinky towel issue?? LOL!! I was laughing while reading this whole thread, and while it's been a year since I haven't swam I will say that the best way to prevent "Stinky Towel" is to avoid leaving it in your swim-bag, no matter how tiring sets can be. There's no excuse. Usually, I take mine out of the bag and drip dry on the shower's curtain rod. I wash my towels weekly, so they smell fresh and are constantly clean. However, if your towel smells up to high heaven, it's time to replace it and discard the ill-smelling towel. There's nothing worse than a smelly Masters Swimmer.
OOOOOOOOOOOH, for the love of Wilkie! I take my towel out as soon as I get home. Why does everyone insist on blaming that for the smell!

Hehe this towel is bypassing rover :rofl:
