I have twice laundered some towel type bath mats ... they are heavy and were hung over the towel rod in the shower/tub area for a week house rental. I suppose they were hung there the whole time. Two of them. They still smell musty to me. They are dark blue so I hesitate to use fabric safe bleach since it discolored a similar bath rug ... the second wash, I resorted to lestoil in the wash. under the faint, remaining lestoil smell, that musty mildew kind of smell is there. rinsed again, dried and now i've got them hanging outside in the sun. i've wiped out the washer and the dryer and have done other laundry, that smells fine.
i'd like to chuck them out!
