How to Keep Your Microfibre Beach Towel Fresh and Odor-Free

Ever been coming home from a fun day at the beach, only to find that your beach towel smells averagely bad? This can be very annoying, especially if you want to sit in the sun and chill. No one likes using a stinky towel, especially during the hot summer days when all you want to feel is clean and fresh. But don't worry! There are a few simple steps you can take to keep your beach towel smelling fresh and looking beautiful. Let's discuss some easy tips that can help you care for your towel.

How to Fight Beach Towel Smell

The No. 1 thing you can do to keep your towel fresh is to rinse it in clean water as soon as you use it. If you have ever been to the beach, then you probably know that your towel can end up with sand, salt from the ocean, and dirt all over it. ALL of that stuff can get trapped in the fibers of the towel and make it smell bad  if you don't rinse it out. Rinse gets rid of all that other gunk, too, and ensures bacteria can't "grow that tends to stink," she said.

Remember, after you rinse it, you want to hang your towel up to dry. Look for a breathable spot. This will allow the towel to dry fully. Just don't leave it in some damp pile or out in the sun for too long, as that will also make it stink. Air drying helps keep it fresh and prevents a musty smell.

If you find that your beach towel still smells bad after rinsing and drying, it may need deeper cleaning. When you wash it, do your best to avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. These can be very abrasive, breaking down the fibers in the towel, and make it less absorbent. Use mild soap that is suitable for delicate fabrics instead. Wash it on a low-temperature setting, as hot water can also ruin the fibers.

It's also a good idea to wash your towel on its own. That's a terrible idea, so you do not treat it like your regular laundry. Washing towels with other items can transfer dirt and foul smells onto your towel, which we all want to prevent!

Get Your Beach Towel Clean All Summer

In order to make sure your beach towel remains clean and fragrant throughout the summer, proper care of the towel is essentials. Here are some quick steps you can undertake for maintaining your towels:

First, do not let your towel come into contact with strong chemicals such as chlorine or bleach. Such chemicals can damage the fibers in a major way and break them down slowly, which would eventually ruin the towel's softness and absorbency. A gentle detergent is all that is required. You can also do a vinegar wash to get rid of noxious smells naturally.

Second, make sure you wash your towel after you have used it a few times. This will show bacteria not to create themselves and not to smell bad at the same time. The best way to be clean is to wash it as often as possible. It's a good habit to get into if you're gonna spend a lot of time at the beach.

Finally, when you’re done using your towel, you should wring it well to dry it and store it. And don’t leave it crumpled up in a wet pile or in a sunny spot too long. Instead, hang it up somewhere it can dry out completely. When dry, put it in a cool, dry place until your next trip to the beach.’ That way, it’ll be ready to go and have a pleasant scent.

Never Again Will You Have Stinky Beach Towels

Here's how to say goodbye to beach towel bacteria, in just a few simple steps:

Finally, make sure you rinse your towel well in clean water after the first use. It is the most effective method to get rid of sand, salt and othere dirt that can be stuck in the fibres of your towel. Rinsing it immediately helps to minimize any bad smells developing.

Hang your towel in a well-ventilated area so that it can dry out fully. Don't let it sit in a soggy pile or bake in the hot sun for too long; both will cause smell. The best way to really keep your towel smelling fresh is to air dry it.

If your towel still smells stinky after a good rinse and dry, it's okay if you soak it in some vinegar or baking soda. Neither of these will damage the material, and this natural odor killer will just require soaking a bit and then being washed out.
