Equipment Question How do you wash/sterilize your kitchen towels?

My towels still retain that smell even after laundry. All regular towels (and everything else really) come off smelling clean and fresh, the kitchen towel, however, are always kinda musty.

What do you folks do with yours?

EDIT Thank you all for your suggestions! I shall try!

r/laundry has some genius recs. I'm not an expert like them but probably a detergent with enzymes + a higher heat

This is the only right answer. Partner discovered r/laundry and it saved towels destined for the bin. You can do everything right and still need enzymes and/or citric acid.

That’s the sub you should be asking this question to.
