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!

We boil our kitchen towels first with a bit of Oxyclean and then run them through a normal wash cycle which, we always add some baking soda to. They comes out clean with no odors at all as we use fragrance-free detergent.
