Are they washable, Donna? That's a good place to start. Often they aren't though. You can try hanging them outdoors in the sunshine to get some smell out. You may need to have them dry cleaned.
Yes, if they are washable the smell should easily be removed. It they are not washable there is a product that you can use in your dryer to remove the smell. . .can't remember the name of it but a local hardware/Home Depot type store should know.
Are they washable? If yes a quick run through the washing machine should do it. I use unscented laundry detergent and musty odors still come out. Add some baking soda or oxyiclean if you wish.
Spray with OdoBan. It is a deodorizer and disinfectant.
As others have said, if they're washable, try that first. Putting them out in the sun is also a good bet. Some Febreeze could also help.
Hi Donna. You could sprinkle baking soda on them and put them in a big garbage bag for a couple hours. Take them out and either shake or vacuum them. Repeat if necessary. Also try leaving the baking soda on longer if the smell persists.
Vinegar and water in a tub.
Wash with baking soda and white vinegar. May take a few washings. You could also add lemon juice to the rinse, but make sure you do a second rinse.
