[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 634658, member: 1233"] One thing that REALLY helps is to not use fabric softener on towels. Fabric softener makes it harder for the towels to dry. It really seems to help prevent this problem. One thing you can try is adding hydrogen peroxide to the wash. Clorox 2 color safe bleach is essentially diluted peroxide with some thickeners. 1 cup of peroxide to 3 cups water is the basic recipe for DIY clorox 2 color safe bleach. It really works and I have used it for 25 yrs now. With a dark towel, I would add the diluted peroxide to the water before I put in the towel, or else I would use the bleach dispenser if the washer has one. For really stubborn loads, you can add 1/2 cup or so of ammonia,fantastik or another degreasing cleaner. It is really helpful at getting rid of stains and musty smells. [/QUOTE]
