The smell of mildew can be irritating and can make your bathroom seem unclean. If your bathroom doesn’t have a fan or if the towels were kept in the bottom of a hamper then the mildew smell can be overwhelming. Follow these steps and you can remove the mildew smell from towels.

Materials:

Washing machine & dryer
Hot water
Vinegar
Laundry soap

Steps:

Separate mildew items from other laundry. There are plenty of degrees of mildew that can be problematic for your laundry and towels. Separate the smelly towels from all other items.
Check for mildew stains. The towels may have just a smell or they may have stains from mold or mildew. Check for stains so you can pre-treat them with laundry soap if necessary.
Wash towels in hot water cycle. Mix laundry soap and ½ cup of vinegar into the hot water while the machine is filling. Once the mix is diluted, load the towels into the washing machine. Run the full cycle.
Check the towels at the end of the first cycle. The mildew smell and light staining should have been removed by the wash cycle. If a smell remains, move to the next step. If the towels are now clean, skip to step six.
Wash the towels through a second cycle in the washing machine. For the second cycle use 1 cup of vinegar diluted in the wash with the laundry soap.
Dry the towels in the dryer on the highest heat setting. Mildew grows in warm, humid areas which is why it is so happy in your bathroom and summer basement. The wash cycles will remove the odor but you cannot keep it away unless you dry the towels completely in a high heat dryer. Do not overload the dryer or the towels may remain damp in some sections....
