Preventing the appearance of unpleasant odors requires washing them in warm water with detergent and bleach. This approach effectively eliminates germs and fungus that can cause unwanted odors. Laundry detergents with low temperatures or insufficient chemical activity will not provide adequate cleaning.

Vinegar is also an excellent odor neutralizer and germ killer. Pouring half a cup of vinegar into the rinse aid compartment or directly into the drum of the washing machine can help remove even stubborn stains and improve the condition of the fabric.

To avoid excess moisture, do not leave towels wet after use. Instead, it is better to lay them out to dry quickly to prevent odor formation. If the unpleasant aroma still remains after washing, you can use a steam cleaner with the addition of aromatic oils or antiseptics for additional refreshment.
