How to Remove Mildew Smell from Towels
Mildew smells in any laundry is one of the most difficult things to remove. The key is to catch the smell before it is fully laundered and especially before it’s dried. There are two possibilities that are easy to acquire and one that’s a little tougher. Vinegar added to the wash often removes the smell. Add a 1/2 cup to the regular load. If this doesn’t work, substitute ammonia. The last and most expensive option is to purchase an item called Odo-Ban. It’s a great item to have on hand anyway, but the strong eucalyptus smell is somewhat off putting and not suitable for every occurrence.
