What is wrong with your washing machine when you have to put bleach in the towels to keep them from smelling moldy?

there's nothing wrong with your washer, are you using hot water? towels get wet and then are allowed to air dry and if your house has mold spores in it they will collect on the towel while it's damp, before you wash it and if you don't use hot water to kill them then they'll start to smell especially in the summer or warmer months when when it's hot and humid out.

When gloves becomes dirty, simply machine wash with a mild detergent in cold water. Always wash gloves separate from cotton towels or other laundry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

How do I get white streaks on my jeans?
You would need to use a bleach on the jeans and let them set for a couple hours. For small, precise streaks, the best thing to use is a bleach pen -- these are sold in the laundry products section of grocery stores. For larger areas, use a spray bottle filled with ¼ bleach and ¾ water. Stuff the part of the jeans you are working on with old towels so that the bleach solution won't go all the way through, and apply the bleach check after 10 minutes and apply more if needed. Once the desired amount of streaking has been reached, wash the jeans immediately. Failing to do this will cause the bleach-soaked fibres to weaken.

Why does my load of towels stink?
Perhaps you left them in the washing machine overnight? I'd wash them again in HOT water, and then dry them as soon as they come out of the washing machine. If this is a frequent occurrence, I'd recommend that you check out the internal lint filter.

What causes brown clothes towels sheets etc to have weird faded tan spots after laundering?
Stains can change the color.Poorly made material can have flaws.The manufacturing process can cause threads to hold difference levels of dye, resulting in uneven dying.Inadvertant contact with bleach solutions. I have a number of shirts and pants with light spots because they were sitting on the floor to be washed near the washing machine and bleach was splashed out of the open machine while it filled.Some detergents are not good for colored materials, or may cause stains if put directly on the clothes rather than in the water.The number one reason for stains on bath towels is Clearasil. The active ingredient in acne medications will bleach out towels. Even if you have washed your hands first!! Get a white towel for your face so this doesn't happen.
