Answer 1

Wash them  in vingre use about  1 1/2  to 2 cups of it and  also 1 cup of baking soda , and wash with your normal detergent vingre kills odors and so does baking soda but they also aid in cleaning and vingre kills mold and  when your clothes get out the wash they will smell fresh and clean  and they want smell like vingre  , i hate the way vingre smells and i  didnt wanna use it in some clothes i had that molded but i did and i said well i can rinse them again if they smell of vingre but they didnt they smelled fresh and clean .... Good Luck

Answer 2

This happens to me all the time, today in fact, I leave clothes in the wash for too long! Anyway, all you need to do is use a good detergent like Tide, (it's what I use) get a large bottle of vinegar and dump about half of it in the wash with the usual amount of Tide, use your fabric softner too. Also, Febreeze makes a liquid you can use for laundry odors, it is made for the wash, and I usually find it at Walmart where the laundry stuff is, it's a blue bottle.

Answer 3

Use color safe bleach on all of it

Answer 4

Wash the garments for two cycles. Use either arm&hammer detergent, or just baking soda to the water with your regular detergent, a full load, 1/2 cup. Then, on the second let it finish and then, leave clothes in machine, but set an extra rinse cycle and, when water has reached its full level, add a 1/4 cup of vinegar. This ensures that all soap and dirt has been completely rinsed out. If it is a small load, use only 4 tablespoons. During agitation, you can add little less than 1/4 cup of bleach. A small amount will not damage the clothes. If you are leary about bleach you can always let the water fill up in the basket add your detergent, baking soda and the bleach at this time. After it is full, let agitation begin for 10 seconds, push the k**b off and add your clothes and pull k**b and allow cycle to continue. Be sure not to allow the clothes to sit any longer than 10 minutes after 1st cycle has ended. Finally, be sure to thoroughly dry clothes in your drier, using your favorite softener. Are any of the clothes white? If yes, perfect! Do you have a clothes line, or is there a place to hang clothing outside? Take advantage of the direct sunlight, even if it is inside of your house in a nice, sunny window. You can start the white item(s) in the drier with fabric softener for at least 5 minutes to get softener in fabric. If you use liquid softener, never mind :) And, because you did use liquid softener, you can hang all of the clothes outside in the fresh air, especially if there is a nice breeze.
