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.

Thought I might chime in to explain why these towels are so much different than any conventional towels (including microfiber or chamois)
Most towels pull moisture inside the fibers. This is what makes a towel absorbant. Our towels use a moisture-management technology much like the wicking athletic shirts that keep you dry. They pull the moisture "around" the fibers instead of inside them. Then, they spread the moisture across the surface. This is why they dry 4 times faster than anything else. That alone will keep them from smelling moldy, but on top of that, each fiber has silver impregnated into it. Silver is one of the best antimicrobials...and it doesn't easily wash out. (Many "wicking" fabrics contain chemical antimicrobials that are not only bad for you, but wash out very quickly. This is why those athletic shirts stink so bad after a while). We use this silver technology in many other products besides the towels.
In any event, this is why you don't need a whole bunch of towels at a meet. Just one or two is sufficient.
We sell them to thousands of swimmers, but they are also really good for travel, camping, hiking, and home use. If you have any technical questions, please feel free to visit our website or call me personally. The only reason we are able to make such innovative products is the fact that we listen to what people need and/or want.
