# How to Get a Bad Smell Out of Dish Cloths
A smell can permeate after a dish cloth is used. The bacteria from left-behind food particles are causing the smell. To remove the smell, you must remove the bacteria. This is a day-today regimen you will have to endure. The left-over bacteria are spreading to other dishes, counters and anything else you use them on. A little preventive maintenance can help you create a good habit of killing off those germs and that smell forever.
