Goo Gone Smell On Clothing

I discovered a crayon had been left in my son's pocket and went through the washer and dryer. Needless to say, it created a mess on the whole load of clothes and the inside of the dryer. Magic Eraser worked to clean the dryer, and Goo-Gone got the crayon off the clothes.

Now, my problem is that the clothes smell like Goo Gone, even after being washed three times. Any ideas how to get the smell out?

My suggestion would be to let it air out in full sun until the smell is gone; shouldn't take too long. Just check often for color-fastness and smell. I've used this method many times, and it works pretty good. Good luck.

I don't know if this would work, but you might try mixing up some baking soda and soaking the clothes in it.

Thank you to those who suggested I use Goo Gone to get sticker residue off my daughters shirts. Now I can't get the smell of Goo Gone out of the shirts!
