Try laying your towels in the summer sun to get rid of the odor altogether. You’d be amazed what kind of stains and stink the sun will bleach out!

Yay! I’m glad your new washer is working on the funk. But just a tip for others that still have problems.
We have the same problem and I’ve tried everything. Vinegar did not work a lick for me. I finally read something that said wash them in hot water with bleach. Yes, regular old bleach. We have blue and green towels, so I was skeptical. But, I figured bleach-spotted towels would be better than stinky towels! Guess what? It worked!! I’m happy to say we are funk free and have been for months!

Sanitize is GREAT for towels, but be careful using it on anything that contains elastic.
I find adding 1/2 cup of vinegar to the wash ALL the time and then doing a second rinse keeps the funk out even when our weather gets humid and sticky…..works on tee shirts too!

I’ve used bleach, vinegar and I’ve even tried heating up my kitchen dish clothes in the microwave but they still stink! So I made some new ones.

I second the bleach suggestion.
Growing up, my mom always added about 1/2 cup bleach to every load of rags/towels and they never, ever soured. I never caught onto this when living at home and as soon as I moved out, I was constantly washing my towels, trying to get rid of the stink. Eventually, I asked my mom what I was doing wrong and she told me.
You may have to throw out some of your old towels if they really won’t give up the stink, but if you do this with new towels, from the get-go, it should work. We’re living in an incredibly humid climate with tons of mold everywhere, and our rags still never sour.
Just make sure you add the bleach to water before putting your towels in so that you don’t get bleach spots. Also, over a period of time, the bleach will break your towels down. But not that much faster than they’d normally break down, imo.
And, really, it’s totally worth it to me.
