laundry problem

After washing them, I forgot to put some cotton t-shirts in the dryer for 24 hours and they all smell. I washed them again and they still smell. Should I add vinegar? What should I do? Thanks

vinegar ?!?!?
I don’t know. remind you this:

vinegar; 4 dollars. washing so often: 1 dollar. time wasted: 10 dollars.
isn’t a new shirt simply cheaper?

Just wash them again, get them outside on the washing line to get some good fresh air through them, repeat if necessary.

I know this sounds wierd but it has been proven that vodka takes the most horrid smells out of clothing and if you ever get skunk sprayed it works for that to!

perhaps just pure alchohol? That should work fine. (don’t put it in the washing machine though)

Chlorine works fine on mould spores. Just a slight addition will do.
Wash again if they smell chlorine.

bleach is the answer - it’s always the answer. I hope your shirts are white though! LOL

Much chlorine will bleach. Better and cheaper than bleachers.

But just a little chlorine enhances the colors and makes the same job as other color enhancers, but cheaper and better!
