Getting Rid of Sour Smell in Bed Sheets

RE: Getting Rid of Sour Smell in Bed Sheets Post By Jan M (Guest Post) (10/07/2007) Have you tried Borax powder to your laundry. Follow directions on pkg. Have most recently found it at Walmart. Vinegar also works, but you may need an extra rinse to reduce the vinegar residue.

Or otherwise, find a local brand of powder used to treat sneeker smell. Good luck RE: Getting Rid of Sour Smell in Bed Sheets Post By Jazzylazzy (Guest Post) (10/06/2007) When you wash your sheets, add 1 cup of bleach to the wash water and let them soak for about 10 minutes. Wash as usual. RE: Getting Rid of Sour Smell in Bed Sheets Post by barbmg (3) | (10/05/2007) Contact Use a laundry soap - not a detergent - don't use too much - the one I use has borax in it - and hang out to dry or air outside for an hour if it rains too much to do the drying outside.

But I have an infant that has spit up many times and we know what that smells like. Soaking your sheets or anything foul smelling in borax for a couple hours and rinsing with vinegar works great! Good luck.

RE: Getting Rid of Sour Smell in Bed Sheets Post by perfumed fan (185) | (10/03/2007) Profile | Contact I used to have this problem. Someone told me I was probably using too much laundry detergent, the amount recommended by the manufacturer is twice too much and will leave a sour smell. I cut back to half and haven't had the problem since.
