There is nothing better than smelling fresh scented towels. Occasionally, you may run across a stale smelling towel. That smell is actually bacteria brewing. As a homeowner, no one wants their guests to dry his or her face with a towel that smells like wet dog. In College Station, the weather is usually warm, which can boost odor causing bacteria growth. Here are a few tips on keeping fresh bathroom towels.

1. Ring your bathroom towels out well and always hang up to dry. Never place them into a hamper damp.
2. Use a fresh towel every three or four days to prevent dead skin cells from building up on them.
3. Wash your towels after you have bleached your whites. This ensures your machine is sterilized and it helps to freshen your towels.
4. When washing, wash in small loads using the hot water setting. Give your towels room to get the suds through and rinse well. Add a good booster to your wash such as Oxi-Clean. You can also add a cup of vinegar to help neutralize odors.
5. If you have a favorite scented laundry detergent such as Mountain Breeze, Fresh Linen, or Lavender, use the same scented liquid fabric softener and fabric sheets to really infuse the smell through your towels.
6. Thoroughly dry your towels. If your towels have just a hint of moisture, the bacteria can start to grow and that is where the stale smell starts to develop.
7. Swap your towels out. Place your freshly washed towels behind your older ones. This prevents you from using the same towels repeatedly and extends the life of them since they aren’t washed as much.
8. Add fabric sheets in your towel area and in between towels you won’t be using – such as a guest towel set.

You want your new home to feel perfect for you and your guests. Following these simple tips is just one-step closer to perfection. Having fresh towels will be doubly true if you moved to College Station to have your own pool, as the towels will be used constantly, because many pools are used year round.
