I have probably a dozen microfiber towels that I use for Work (swim instructor 5x a week) since they are thin and easy to transport. However, I noticed a bunch of my older ones, no matter what I do to them, like spray them with antibacterial spray before I put them in my wet bag to travel the hour home, and hang them up to dry once I get home, but for some reason they always end up having a mildewy smell after they’ve dried. And my bathing suits always reek like chlorine, no matter what I wash them in, even after a physical laundry machine wash with good Detergent meant to eliminate “active” smells & completely dried on low temp.
Is there something I can use to get rid of the smell or is there an expiration on microfiber towels? I know it’s a weird question, but I just can’t stand the smell. And I know using fabric softeners, and all that are not good for towels and bathing suits. But I don’t wanna have to buy new towels.

How does anyone cope with this constant noise?!?! I can’t stand all that “white noise”, “brown noise”, etc. My friend would put it on sometimes to help him sleep, and I would literally wake up from the sound and be like “wtf is that god awful sound?!?!” Shit is sooooo annoying. I have talk radio on in my kitchen and will usually have the TV or music on in the other rooms of my apartment. But, it still doesn’t drown out this constant high pitched ringing. It’s literally driving me mad. Especially in the morning and when I’m trying to fall asleep. When I close my eyes, it seems worse. But that’s probably all in my head. No pun intended!

It’s been a little over a month and I’ve been to a ENT and my hearing is perfect. Said it could be from TMJ but I don’t grind my teeth, at all. What do you people do to keep from going insane?!?! Because I can’t deal with this!!!
