Are your bath towels smelling funky? Washing them in scalding hot water or using bleach isn’t the only way to get them to smell clean again. You can also hang your towels outside on a bright, sunny day. The ultraviolet radiation from the sun’s rays is highly effective at disinfecting and killing odor-causing bacteria. Use this tip on other smelly things, like kitchen towels, gym socks and workout clothes, to give them a natural clean in the sun. While some studies say it takes just 30 minutes, there’s no harm in leaving them outside for several hours to get the best results.
