When a freshly washed towel still smells musty, inspect wet-laundry delays, detergent residue and the machine itself. Fabric care labels and your washer manual take priority.

Read towel care labels and sort out pieces with persistent odor.
If damp towels sat in the washer, rewash them and unload immediately after the cycle.
Check the washer's approved detergent type and dose, reducing excess product that leaves residue.
Inspect the drum, dispenser and door gasket for buildup or moisture; clean using the manufacturer's procedure.
Rewash at a program and temperature allowed by the textile label; never improvise mixtures of vinegar and bleach.
Dry towels thoroughly without crowding and dry the washer door area as the manual permits.
