RE: Sheets Smell After Washing By meoowmom (1743) Profile Contact I love adding vinegar and baking soda to my laundy though lately due to cutting back on spending I went to using lemon scneted amonia in the laundry works on all colors ********DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH********* my laundry smells great Posted on 01/06/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sheets Smell After Washing By Sharylesley (76) Contact I don't know what type of washing machine you use - I had problems when I used a front loader washer but now switched back to my old twin tub. More labour intensive but a much better result Posted on 01/05/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sheets Smell After Washing By kladybug (75) Profile Blog! Contact Make sure that you remove them from the washer ASAP after they are done. The sour smell comes from letting them sit too long in the washer.

That should get rid of odors. Perhaps you should wash your sheets more often to prevent them from accumulating smells in the first place. Some people have night sweats and such that necessitate more frequent sheet washing. I would also suggest using hot water, being sure you are not over-loading the washer, and using only one thing at a time to eliminate odors. Baking soda is excellent as a laundry additive for odors. Ammonia is also good, but it will change the color of dark colors. Do not use either of these with vinegar, as they neutralize each other, and do not use anything but laundry soap if you use bleach.

It is inexpensive and very good at removing grease and odors. Also, check to be sure that your washing machine is draining properly, it may be retaining some water beneath the tub that is dirty?

The vinegar and baking soda worked well for some of the musty laundry, but the product that worked the best was Pin Sol. I think it worked well because it is a degreaser. When youn, I remember my mom using Lestol (spelling) in the laundry, but I can't find that product anywhere.

Contact Add 1 cup of white vinegar along with your washload that should eliminate any foul odors.

I don't use them on my linens. They also dry out your skin. Use some de-greaser, or color safe bleach, and wash on hot cycle water. You can find de-greaser at any Wal-mart. However, it is when they start to smell like this, that I buy new ones. Posted on 12/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
