The water in one of our bathrooms comes out of faucet smelling like mildew and makes my washclothes smell moldy after they dry.
Does anyone know what's causing this? Its not every faucet in the house.

Pipes my need a good flush. Leave it run an hr or more. both hot and cold.
I do construction and have seen plumbers leave water run days sometimes to get the lines flushed.
If you have a screen on the tap remove it while flushing.

Water Smells Like Mildew

Interesting !! This only occurs from ONE faucet in the house !? And the smell is there not only on the wash-clothes, but directly from the faucet !?
IF you are capable, remove the sand-screen from the faucet CLEAN THE sanc-screen, and let the water flow for 5 minutes or so (possible organic matter build up?).
If that doesn't clear it up, I'm stumped and suggest a plumber.
My brother lives on a well, and we have 3 different filtration systems inline... but I doubt this is a water SOURCE problem.
Good Luck

after using wring out and leave to dry will help also occasionally microwave for a minute or so ----not too long or will burn just check steaming is good smoke is not. You get used to checking the microwave to locate sponge. Good idea also to replace monthly. The old one can go in the cleaning box ----cut off a corner so that you do not accidentally use it in the kitchen and advise the other householders of the system.

You need to have this check out by a professional.

Maybe you need to have your water tested..... We have well water... And we put bleach down the well about every two months... @
