wash
Keep washing them. When u get a few bucks saved up i know its cheap but hit a good will. Then when your back on your feet buy some new ones at your fav store
Wash and you might try adding vinegar to the first wash. You'll probably have to wash them more than once. Also, if you can, try to dry them outside instead of in a dryer. The air will help remove some of the odor. Good luck.
wahs in the washer add white vinegar to the rinse cycle and fabric softener and when drying use fabric sheets...
There are a number of things you can try I'm not sure which one will work the best but I would start with Borax I would soak them in Borax and white vinegar overnight if that didn't work I try it again Then I would try lemon juice and Borax or Purex with renuit in it and again I would soak them overnight
The Borax mix would be 2 cups of borax 1 cup vinegar
the Purex mix would be 2 cups of purex 1 cup lemon juice
good luck
try washing them over and over and over and over .
I think it's really hard to get the smell out. I would try Lestoil. My husband works at a supermarket in the fish dept. it t akes that smell out! Good Luck.
