How do you remove the smell of mold from towels?

Answer

Wash them in hot water and put a cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle.

If my stuff smells musty or moldy I just hang them in the sun. Some things need to be out there for a few days, the dew wont hurt them, they will be damp in the morning but will dry back up and smell great.
