Robin on Oct 20, 2014Soak in white vinegar and baking soda, with a touch of dish soap. Rinse and wash as usual. I've found towels hidden in my son's room!Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Oct 21, 2014Just rewash with a cup or two of white vinegar (depending upon how large of load) with laundry soap and then fill up the fabric dispenser with vinegar. Believe me with 2 sons this is an every week occurrence!Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Oct 22, 2014Guaranteed results with BAC-OUT (a natural odor and stain eliminator). Hang outside for a day or two for sun bleaching if you can too :)Helpful Reply

Mari Dots on Oct 22, 2014powdered Borax helps with this too. My first choice would be a soak in white vinegar water, as The Garden Frog stated, a couple cups of vinegar in the water and let them soak for an hour or so. Then wash with your usual brand of laundry detergent.Helpful Reply

Krista W on Oct 22, 2014ammonia works wonders, just NEVER NEVER mix with bleach. I use it on any organic stain - blood, grass stains, urine etc. smells while it is washing but it sure takes the funk out of towels.Helpful Reply
