Why bath towels smell bad and how to perfume them?

Towels are supposed to get wet, but not stay that way for hours. So avoid throwing wet towels in the laundry basket or leaving them in a ball on the floor.

And don't worry, they won't smell of vinegar at the end.

White vinegar can be used as a preventative once in a while, but if your towels are particularly smelly, you need something stronger. You may not be surprised, but it's baking soda.
