Default OT - low temperature wash

Not sure if anyone else finds this, but in my experience, bath and hand
towels get a bit smelly if they're not washed at a fairly high
temperature. I assume it's because the grease isn't getting removed
properly.

I'd love to know what hotels use to wash their towels - to me, they
actually smell clean, rather than scented.


For hygiene reasons, I suspect they are properly boiled. After all,
you've had everyone's butt and mushroom infested dangly and wibbly bits
on those.

None of which bothers me as long as they've been boiled!
