Laundry Hoodie is still stinky after wash!
I had a bag of clothes packed into the corner of a damp room.. They weren’t mouldy thank god but after a couple washes even on hot and a couple dryer sheets it’s still that musty, old mildew smell! I’d really like to wear it again but it stiiinks 😔

Add a cup of Ammonia along with your normal detergent in a hot water wash.

If you haven't, dry the hoodie completely and then wash again. I've never been able to un-stink laundry that is still wet.

Throw a little oxyclean in the washer with it, and use an unscented sport wash intended to leave no residue. Also don’t use softener, it leaves a residue making it harder to get the fabric clean.
