Towels are a HUGE thing with me!! They get stinky so easily! I will rarely use a towel more than twice before doing a load in the washer with whatever odor-eliminator I happen to have. Like my Mom said, if the towels sit in the washer for more than an hour or two they get rewashed with more odor-eliminator! I go through so much Febreeze laundry stuff, but it's a necessary expense. I won't go near hubby if he has dried off with a "stale" towel. Yuck!

I have a very sensitive nose To me, a stale towel screams "germs and mildew!!!!"
