Wash them, according to the care instructions, and hang them outdoors to dry in the sun and fresh air.

Use plenty of water - do not overload the washer.

Add baking soda (half cup to one cup per load)

And do not let dirty clothing sit in hampers or piles on your floor - the bacteria that cause 'body odor" can live in dirty laundry and increase the smell.

Believe it or not, I read that Fabreeze (the antibacterial one) works. May be worth a try.

I use some baking soda in the rinse water when washing.

ok thanks guys im gonna give it a try! fingers cross! :)

Add about 1-2 cups of white distilled vinegar to your laundry during washing. Once the clothes are dried, the vinegar smell will be gone too. White distilled vinegar is safe on color clothings.

Please let us know what works!

I had a poly blouse that seemed to get body odor really bad. Nothing worked so I tried boiling it. I filled a pot with water and boiled it for several minutes.

The blouse was none the worse and completely odor free! I couldn't wear it anymore so I had nothing to lose by trying it.

Adding Odoban or Simple Green to the wash water works also.
