Kind of interesting, maybe. [View all]

I noticed recently that after a day or two of use, the hand towels in my bathroom start smelling like corn chips. I don't like the smell. I just Googled and things will start to smell like corn chips (or a yeasty smell) caused by a couple kinds of bacteria.

I wash my towels and bedding in warm water, with soap and vinegar. During Covid, I changed the towels daily or any time I went out. Now, I use the same one for a couple of days. I always air dry used towels before I toss them in the basket. Guess I'll start changing them daily to avoid the smell.

All of my hand towels are several years old, and I kind of wonder if that is part of the reason they get smelly.
