I had the same issue- I’ve washed them 5+ times with some vinegar and hung outside to dry, it’s finally neutralizing!
I use that baby laundry soap with the baby laundry beads. I bought baby clothes from the baby consignment store and couldn’t get the smell out till I washed with that.
drop or two of dish liquid with washing it again
@Aerielle yes! I use an unscented soap from Whole Foods and then I throw a little bit of those in !! Complete game changer
I absolutely hate unscented detergent. Things just don't seem clean to me after using unscented. I used dreft detergent with the draft scent beads for hand-me-downs that I received and they smell great
I would try washing with just a little bit of white vinegar to try to get rid of any residual smells.
