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:
Just out of curiosity, what does the vinegar/baking soda combination do since the baking soda should neutralize the acetic acid in the vinegar? Chris, Mr. Chemistry, a little help here since I only had to have two semesters of Freshman Chemistry.
Acetic acid -- or any other acid -- will produce carbon dioxide bubbles from baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Not sure why it would clean anything.
