Removing mildew smell from towels: Even, large, dark colored ones that can't be bleached.

No more smell, even when wet.

It's the acid in the juice that takes away the smell. Here's a cheaper method, vinegar will do the same thing and you can do it on any color whether light or dark and it won't stain.
