I have some foul smelling clothes. I tried vinegar, fabreeze, lestoil, baking soda the works. I have to wash my clothes 2 times a week and the smell is still there. Any ideas.

I put two or three drops of perfume on my favorite hoodie before I put the load in the dryer. The smell stays and it smells wonderful.

This is to Karen P. How much Pinesol do you put in the wash? I have the same problem with my towels.

I always use a little Pinesol in my wash water. You don't smell it on your clothes when dry but they smell fresh & clean. My towels always smelled mildewy until I started doing this.

First, find out the source of the odor and try to eliminate that. Unless it's the water itself- high iron content? Try presoaking and prewashing, in Gain Detergent with bleach- then a regular wash, and two rinse cycles, using extra liquid fabric softener on the last rinse. Better yet, (IF you can hang clothes in fresh air to dry) is to rinse with a cup of white Vinigar added to rinse cycle. Seeing as how you live in NYC, I'm wondering if the odor is from environmental industrial air pollution, especially if you live near or work in an industrial park area?

Have you tried borax? I always have had excellent results with it. It is a great deodorizer.

go to www.moldzyme.com, their Moldzyme or Airzyme product will eliminate any organic odor and leave the clothes smelling fresh and clean.

Could it be that your clothes are picking up the smells from your washing machine?
Try another washing machine to check this out. If it is the machine at fault then try cleaning out the filters.
