You may have heard of Smelly Washer, a product that eliminates mold and mildew buildup inside your washer. Yes, you read that right. Mold and mildew are the reason why your clothes washer is so stinky! Apparently the main culprit is too much detergent. Who would a thunk that? I haven't noticed a smell coming from my washer recently, but I do have experience with towels that wreak of mildew. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Just as I was about to toss my towels, Smelly Washer contacted me to review their latest product, Smelly Towel.
While Smelly Washer is used to treat your empty washer, you use Smelly Towel for a washer full of towels and clothing. Towels absorb more mold spores due to their plush quality, which is why you get that nasty smell in your towels and not as much with your clothing.
Its gentle citrus-based formula is designed to remove odor-causing mold from towels and clothing. It was easy as adding a capful of the powder to my laundry load. Thank goodness, I won't have to toss my towels after all! Well, at least not the ones without holes or tears because my towels now smell as a towel should: Fresh and clean.
Normally, this is the part where I say BUY IT!, but Smelly Towel is so brand new that it is not even available for sale at this time. However, you can...
WIN IT! One reader will receive a full-size bottle of Smelly Towel!

The main cause of front load or top load stink is the overuse of detergents. Generally, we’re only removing sweat and perfume from our clothing so it’s necessary to use very minimal amounts. This is especially important if using liquid detergent or if there is a water softener in the home. With a water softener present use less than 1 tablespoon of detergent unless washing soiled dishrags, diapers,etc.
