My BG's smell mildewy. YUCK.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

So, I purchased these second hand and no matter what I do they smell mildewy. I have not tried bleach. But I have tried borax, vinegar, and cold rinse, hot rinse. I don't want to dry them in the dryer but if I leave them out to dry they really smell. 

Like my dd will be crawling around and I can smell mildew. 

Also, there hasn't been sun for weeks otherwise I would try and leave them out in the sun.

Id soak them in hot water with bleach and about 1/8 tsp of blue dawn dishwashing liquid. I would wash that out, and then do a wash with your regular detergent, and dry them in the dryer.

 

I wouldnt use this method reguarly, but if you need to get the smell out, it should work to just do it once.
