tips for removing strong odors or fragrances
- drape or hang items outside for up to 48 hours to let fresh air and sunlight do their thing (turn items inside out to prevent sun fading)
- soak items in water and an oxy-booster, and/or vinegar and baking soda
- wash items on machine's heavy duty setting with an extra rinse cycle, using fragrance-free detergent and an oxy-booster
- repeat the steps above as often as needed until scent or odor is significantly reduced or gone
- machine dry on highest temperature setting the items can accommodate
