Getting Perfume Smell Out of Clothing

Is there anyway of getting a strong perfume smell out of clothes? A friend who has gone away for six months gave me some winter garments, nice windcheaters, etc (she's gone to a hot climate). However, whatever perfume she used is clinging strongly to the garments. It's not a scent I care for at all. I have washed the things but the scent is still there.

Thanks,

WHITE VINEGAR! Along with borax and baking soda if the plain vinegar doesn't work. (08/29/2006)

Add 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar to your laundry soap and let it soak for a few hours or overnight if possible. It should do the trick. (09/04/2006)
