How can I get my gray undershirts white?
My DH wears sleeveless undershirts and no matter what we try they always turn a dingy gray. How can we keep them white or make them white, again?
Try soaking them in vinegar water for a while, then put them outside to dry. Vinegar can get rid of cat urine smell in carpet and upholstery so it should take care of perfume I would think. If you want, try putting straight vinegar on a spot to make sure it won't hurt the color and put it outside to dry, just not in direct sun, that may bleach the color out. I use straight vinegar for cat urine, so maybe straight vinegar may work better.
Ask a dry cleaner if they can remove the smell with their solvents.
You can soak clothes in powdered milk to remove odors: cigarette smoke, perfume, and etc.......doc told me to do this.....and it worked. You may have to soak it several times. This is what environmental docs tell their patients who have MCS or CS (multiple chemical sensitivity or chemical sensitivity)
I know you said that you washed with plenty of baking soda, but have you allowed it to soak overnight or longer? That might give it time to work. If that still doesn't work, I'd still write the seller and let them know the problem plus what you did to try to fix it rather then send it back. They might offer to exchange them, but it might be something the manufacturer used that has the smell.
try the spray that removes animal stains and smells.
