Place the towels in your washing machine drum (don’t add detergent).
Pour 1 cup of white vinegar directly into the drum.
Run a full hot water wash cycle.
After it finishes, leave the towels in and sprinkle 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drum.
Run a second hot water wash cycle.
Dry towels immediately in the dryer or hang in the sun for best freshness.
Tips:
Do this process once every 1–2 months to maintain freshness.
Always let towels dry completely between uses.
Avoid fabric softeners; they coat fibers and trap odors.
FAQ:
Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar?
White vinegar is preferred due to its neutral scent, but apple cider vinegar works in a pinch.
Will this damage colored towels?
No — it’s safe for both white and colored towels.
