I have a front load machine and always use recommended amount of liquid detergent. Have same smelly towel problem. Washed all my towels in super hot water with cup of vinegar. Rinsed in clear water twice then washed with baking soda. Never use fabric softener but problem came back. Did same vinegar/baking soda routine and now I do a couple sprays of febreeze for fabric directly on wet towels when going into the dryer. Problem has not been back yet. Fingers crossed!
