How to avoid mildew smell on towels
The mildew smell on towels essentially comes from towels that remain damp and are not allowed to dry thoroughly. Mold grows and reproduces when it is in a moist and wet environment, and towels that are either not dried completely or ones that are hanging in a humid atmosphere will be susceptible to mold infestation. Does this Spark an idea?
