Why do towels get smelly after one use even if you have used good soap and fabric softner?
Runtdog
If you have a standard top loading washer, do you take the towels out of the washer right away after they have been washed? If you don't, and they sit in there too long the fabrics start to smell like mildew. This may be the aswer to your problem. You may not smell it after they are dried, but once the towel is used and becomes wet it will bring the smell out. You might also want to try and add oxiclean in your washer when you wash them to remove the smell. 20 Mule team Borax might also help. However, the problem may be due to using a new style, front loading, High Efficiency washer. These washers have a history of odor problems. Mold and mildew grow in the machine when it sits idle. If the idle period is too long, a lot of stuff can grow. This gets transfered to the laundry. The problem can come and go depending on how much the machine is used. If you have mildew smells you probably have intermitient itching/rash problems with underwea or diapers. With these machines it does not matter how fast you remove the laundry from the machine. You need to control the growth to eliminate the problem. Look for cleaning products like Affresh, Nu Fresh or Purewasher. These all claim to clean the machine.

What is the definition of the absorbency of the paper towel?
The absorbency of paper towels differ from brand to brand, usually contingent on the cost of the towels. The super-absorbent towels can mop up large amounts of liquids and still be able to absorb more quantities. The low-absorbency towels have difficulty in picking up even moderate quantities of liquids.

Can you give me simple definition please of the difference between fugitive dyes and dyes which bleed?
Fugitive dyes are natural dyes that fade and/or change color dramatically over a long period of time (usually many years). Some fugitive dyes fade away completely, while others change color, for example, a bright blue fugitive dye might fade to a light tan. They were mostly used to dye fabric before the invention of chemical dyes in the early 20th century. Bleeding of dye colors is the transfer of a dye in fabric to part of the same fabric or another fabric when the fabric is wet. This can occur with older fabrics, and even with cheaper modern fabrics. The mostly likely dye color to bleed is red (although other colors can bleed). Washing white/light colored clothes separately from darker, more deeply dyed clothes is a common way to to avoid having dye from a dark fabric bleeding into a light or white fabric.

How do you know when to put in softener when your washing your clothes?
It will tell you on the back of the bottle, usually it is in the final rinse cycle. It is kinda tricky using fabric softener, if you pour it directly on your clothes or even don't mix it with the water good enough first it will leave greasy looking spots on your clothes. I stop my washer right before the final rinse, take my clothes out, let the fabric softener and water mix really good then add my clothes back in.
How often should you wash towels?
Ideally, you should wash your bath towels within 24 hours - as the dampness remaining in the towels following a bath or shower, can - if left too long, cause the towels to become smelly, or even develop mildew. Of course follow the care labels on your towels, but it's best to wash in warm water, and without any fabric softener - which will remove the drying properties of your towels over time.

My towels smell after washed dried when they get wet?
It could be that you aren't drying them fast enough. If they sit in the washer too long, they will sour even though you are eventually putting them in the dryer. It could be the chlorine if you use them for swimming or if you have hard water..they can get a smelly buildup that you smell when they get wet again.
