If your towels smell bad even after washing, don’t worry! With a few natural remedies and proper care, you can keep your towels fresh and fragrant.

Common Causes of Bad Odors
Dirty Washing Machine: Limescale and residue can build up over time, leading to unpleasant smells.
Wet Towels in the Laundry Basket: Storing damp towels can promote bacteria and mold growth.
Humidity in the Washing Machine: Not opening the door right after washing can create a damp environment.
Improper Drying: Leaving towels outside too long or drying them in a closed space can cause them to absorb moisture.
Excess Detergent: Using too much detergent or fabric softener can leave residues that trap odors.
Tips for Fresh-Scented Towels

1. Regularly Clean Your Washing Machine
Perform a vacuum wash monthly to remove buildup.
Wipe down all parts with a damp cloth.
2. Change Towels Frequently
Aim to change towels every 2-3 days to maintain hygiene.
3. Air-Dry Before Washing
Let towels air-dry before placing them in the laundry basket to prevent odor development.
