Nasty smell

[lady-MGS]

Not like Evil_Tony and where I sit though.. lol

My kids were given some shirts that were made to be sold at an MMA event. They were in plastic bags. Anyways, they have the nastiest smell to them and I don't know how to get it out and was wondering if anyone has any ideas. I've washed them like 5 times now, soaking them in fabric softener as well. When they first come out of the drier they will smell fine but after a few minutes they start to smell again. All I can describe the smell as is really bad body odor, the worst you can ever imagine.

The three younger ones won't care if they end up in the garbage but my oldest doesn't think he could live w/out his.

I have heard vinegar helps if added in the laundry. Never tried though.

Acid washed T's XD

I've heard vinegar and baking soda, pre soak works

I agree with Minerva and Sirex.

LOL.... Are they dry yet ???

hahaha @ ViTO

Well, I didn't mention that I didn't have regular vinegar so I used rice vinegar. When I pulled them out of the washing machine they smelt like vinegar (better then before) and I thought we were going to get lucky. I got them out of the drier and they still smell.

I did pre-soak them but I'm wondering if maybe I soak them in baking soda and then wash them in vinegar and then line dry?

The things you do for your kids.. lol
