Keep Towels Mold Free
Mold and odor problems with your towels? Learn how to keep your towels fresh.
If you live in Florida, then you know what I’m talking about. You reach for a towel and ICK, it has been possessed by a musty odor. Your towel may have just fallen victim to mold growth. Think about it. After you use your towel, you hang it to dry in your bathroom. As you know, bathrooms are notorious for having poor air circulation and retaining humidity – the perfect breeding ground for mold.
So how does one win the battle against moldy towels? Read on:
1. First off, keep your washer clean. Clean it regularly per manufacturer’s instructions. For example, my front loader requires a bleach clean cycle once a month.
2. In your bathroom, try to maximize the drying area of your towel.
3. Replace your towel often. Some experts even argue that towels should be replaced daily, especially if you have any skin irritations like acne. But, we know most people don’t have the time to constantly wash towels.
4. Once you are ready to wash your towel, WASH your towel. Wet or damp towels that are left lying around are the perfect host for mold growth.
5. When washing your towels, understand that laundry detergent will just not cut it. You need to get serious. Either a) Use a Color-safe bleach (if you missed our article on how bleach doesn’t kill mold, please refer to it. In the meantime, this product works in a pinch) or b) add 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar to the laundry cycle in addition to the detergent or c) use Borax per the box’s directions.
6. Our preferred cleaner here is a natural enzyme based laundry detergent like “Naturally It’s Clean”. Enzymes are amazing. They dissolve mold and eat up odor. Unfortunately, natural cleaners tend to be on the pricey side.
7. Make certain to leave your washer door open.
8. Completely dry your towels in the dryer. Make sure that towels do not feel damp to the touch or throw them back in for a touch up. If you take a damp towel out of the dryer, you are undoing everything you just did.
We hope this helps you in your quest to having and maintaining fresh smelling towels!

Mold found in Structure Causes Museum to Become Homeless
Museum Moves Out of Moldy Building
In the last few months, we have been keeping track of our friends at The Douglas Fairbank Museum in Texas. We first found out about them when surfing the net and were immediately drawn to their story. Upon relocating to Texas and moving into a historic property to house their museum dedicated to the former American actor, Douglas Fairbank, the curator discovered a severe mold infestation hiding within the walls of the property. The museum began to post online in search of any help possible. With little money to remediate the property, the group tried to stick it out for a while. Unfortunately, a little while proved to be more costly than the remediation.

“For a couple of weeks there, I thought I just had the flu.” museum curator Keri Leigh says. “But my symptoms weren’t getting any better and I couldn’t figure out why I was having all these other symptoms but no fever. It didn’t make sense.”
Subsequently, the museum has moved out of the location. “It’s really sad,” Leigh says. “I had such high hopes for this place just a few short months ago.”
Currently, the museum is in desperate need of a new home. Anyone who has a suitable historic home or building they would consider donating or leasing to the Douglas Fairbanks Museum is encouraged to call (830) 444-0523 to discuss a resident curatorship, possible tax incentives or other options for your property. The museum is willing to relocate anywhere within the United States.
