RE: Cleaning Smelly Socks By kemalony (1) Contact Before cleaning socks better way is to find socks which wont stink. If your socks has synthetic material it will stink at end of day. I would like to offer you find 100% Cotton Socks Viccel(www.viccel.com) produces pure cotton lisle socks.

I have recently changed back to Radiant though as I have a smelly young man in the house & everyone's laundry sure smells better & fresher now than it has in ages. Maybe a few drops of Nil Odor in the soaking bucket with the socks before they are washed in the machine will help. With my shoe insoles I found that washing them after each wear has helped to reduce the odour to almost nothing now. It is just trial & error.

I washed a great looking shirt from a yard sale and to my dismay it reeked when I ironed it (even after I washed it). Use about one cup of ammonia (or more) to a half load of laundry (do not add any other cleaning additives at this time). I also used this trick when my husband was a heavy equipment mechanic.

Then I would put vinegar in the rinse cycle instead of fabric softener. This works with my hubby's socks.

Contact I don't know about soaking or boiling, but have you ever tried adding simple borax to the load when washing them? I use this with my towels to eliminate any wet sour smell, and it works fantastic.

I will be trying them out for sure ! It is so heartening to see how caring and helpful people are :) Posted on 05/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Smelly Socks By hedera (168) Contact Try soaking the socks in very hot water and borax overnight. Launder in a very hot wash, with regular detergent and a cup of baking soda. You could try a cup of vinegar in the rinse water......that may help. Beyond that, I can only think of a very, very old fashioned method of cleaning stinky clothing, and that is to boil the socks in a large stock pot, containing water (obviously!), baking soda & a smidge of detergent. Bring the pot to a rolling boil and let boil for 20 min. Let pot cool off before emptying, then launder as usual. I believe boiling will seriously rid those socks of the smelly's!

Also sprinkle baking soda in his shoes after they are dry might help too. Good Luck, great granny Vi Posted on 05/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Smelly Socks By silkynjoe (Guest Post) just try vinegar in the laundry about 1cup. also instead of soaking try spraying with vinegar and let dry then wash and you will not get the funny smell when they come out of the dryer..works for urine smells too..
