My son’s polyester basketball shorts were smelling like my old hockey gear, r a n k. It only took one load of laundry to prove how great this works. Vinegar is an inexpensive household item making this a no- to low-cost solution.

Thank you for taking the time to share this great information! 😉

I bought a beautiful silk and cotton sweater at a rummage sale that has taken on a mildew smell. Now I know how to make it wearable again.

You could have saved us both some time and written about how to get the mold smell away rather than watch a video.

I just run the load again with borax, dry it. and rewash with the oxyclean/pod and it is fresh as ever.

I bet your fabric softener dispenser doesn’t get all grimy and gooey either! 🙂

All my clothes comes out of the dryer soft and fresh.

also if having a front loader always dry rubber gasket after real good and leave door open or ajar. this will stop a lot of the moldy smell…. and once a month in empty machine wash with hot water and 1 cup of bleach.. then another with just hot water… be sure to dry gasket and door after and leave door open…

Great tip, Jen! I have heard that front load washing machines can be tough to keep clean, sounds like you’ve made a great solution.
