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:

Where is your support that "gyms & health clubs use HE washers and it's a sure bet that’s the source of the newest strain of staph?"
I'm not asking for seven more links to discussion forums about stinky clothes. I'd like medical information, not your conjecture.
Front loading HE washers are now the industry standard in commercial establishments. To determine if a gym or health club is using a potentially problematic HE washer, just take a look in the laundry room.
If the washer is a front loader with window in the door you can see what’s going inside when it’s on the “wash” cycle. I’ve seen quite few of them and there’s hardly enough water in them during the wash cycle to really get the towels clean. :confused:
In fact, I am thinking of having the San Francisco Health Department take samples and cultures from the residue (something that looks like wet dryer lint) in the washers at gyms and laundromats. I bet they are in fact the source of staph.
The same thing is probably true with the so called "Noro Virus" on cruise ships.

I bet the bacteria is being spread through passenger's clothes that have been "washed" in HE machines in the ship's laundry.
