Step 1: Wash towel with baking soda
Throw your towel into the washing machine with a 1/4 cup baking soda.
Tip
You can throw in any other like-colored laundry with the towel to run a full load.
Step 2: Run wash
Run the washing machine using hot water. Allow it to complete a full wash cycle.
Step 3: Pour vinegar into washer
Pour 1/4 cup white vinegar into the washing machine with your regular detergent.
Step 4: Run wash cycle
Run the wash cycle again, using hot water.
Step 5: Dry towel
Place the towel, along with any other laundry you choose, into the dryer to dry on the hottest setting. Use the longest setting to ensure the towel dries thoroughly.
Tip
Make sure any laundry you put into the dryer with the towel is safe to dry on the hot setting.
Step 6: Check towel for dryness
Check the towel to make sure it is completely dry before folding and putting it away. Take a good sniff of your fluffy towel the next time you bathe and enjoy the non-funkiness.
Did You Know?
Baking soda is commonly used as an antacid, a cleaning agent in toothpaste, a pain reliever for canker sores, and it can even draw venom out of a jellyfish sting.

There's a product called OdorJet. It uses air and heat to get rid of mildew in clothes in just a few seconds. It eliminates smoke and body odors. And It doesn't use sprays or chemicals. It kills bacteria and you can use it on delicate and dry clean only clothes.
I just cleaned my washer I'm going to try this and hope it worked and my cloths don't smell like mildew.
Great video as I was looking for alternatives for the few cases where I don't want to use bleach. Fyi, bleach is still more convenient and if used carefully and consistently every now and then, stops this issue dead in it's tracks.
does this work on shirts to? because my shirts smell like mildew sometimes.
step one : wash your stinky ass .
