My Secret Weapon

I have a problem.  My towels are just plain stinky.   There's nothing cool about drying your hands off and having them end up worse off than before you washed them.  I had tried everything; the strongest smelling detergent, bleach, wash boosters, vinegar, etc.  Nothing was making me happy until I decided to experiment.

Disclaimer: I generally don't advocate experimentation when it comes to cleaning supplies, as there are some deadly combinations.  Please use your smarts.  If you're lacking smarts, don't combine cleaning agents.

Here's my secret: 

 

One cup Borax and one cup Vinegar in the pre-wash cup of my machine along with some Tide in the detergent cup.  Clean and fresh.  Who could ask for a better towel?
