If your towels smell of damp, it is not recommended to throw them away, but to use just two ingredients that will help quickly remove the unpleasant odor.

Specifically, it's a common problem that towels lose their softness over time, and drying in the winter can be especially challenging, resulting in an unpleasant damp smell.

If your washing machine is clean and your other clothes don't have an unpleasant odor, then you should wash your towels first in hot water with a cup of white vinegar, and then wash them in hot water with half a cup of baking soda.

This method should remove unpleasant odors and accumulated residue, although for optimal results it is important to dry the towels thoroughly.

First of all, you should pour a cup of vinegar directly into the drum of the washing machine and start the wash with hot water without detergent. After that, continue with an extra rinse cycle to remove the vinegar smell. Then, add half a cup of baking soda directly into the drum and do another warm wash without detergent.

Finish with an extra rinse cycle to make sure all residue is removed. After that, you should dry the towels in the dryer on high heat or hang them up, making sure they are completely dry before putting them in the closet.
