Who wants to spend a day at the beach or pool with a musty-smelling, faded beach towel? Not me! Revive these terry-cloths by washing in the hot cycle of your washer with a 1/4 white vinegar, NO detergent! Then run a second cycle adding soap and 1/2 cup of baking soda. Dry without dryer sheets or fabric softener because these will decrease absorbency. Have fun in the sun!
