Just me?
My sister and I hung out at my mom's house this morning while Jessica took her exams. During this time I said something to her about my boys' blankets smelling really nasty. I told her all the things I've done to get rid of the smell that seems to never go away... like.... washing them several times in a row... soaking them first.... rinsing them several times... using bleach for colors... using fabric softner and other random things. She said something about soaking them in HOT water for a while. I said HOT water??? Why? She said to kill the germs... then she said "don't you wash your clothes in warm or hot water?" Um... nope. Somewhere I missed the class where they taught you to wash your clothes in hot or warm water. I've always kept mine on Cold/Cold. Am I the only one that didn't know this??? I'm a dork!

I wash all of my clothes in warm or hot water. Hot water is better for getting out stains too.
She's right, hot water does kill the germs. This might be the reason for your towels smelling as well. I remember you mentioning that before. I usually wash my colors in cold. And towels, sheets & whites in hot. I add a bit of bleach to those too.
