I got some fabric and it has a yucky musty odor. Does anyone know how to remove this smell? Right now I am soaking it in baking soda and warm water. I also tried lysol, salt, and detergent . Any advice? I hate to throw it away because I have plans for it.

Just washed the first fabric orange leafy print about 2 1/2 yards by hand and the smell isn't too bad, but I have a sensitive nose. The other two are fat quarters in deep purple print. They are soaking in the baking soda and warm water.

I haven't tried the bleach yet, but I do have oxiclean and that may be another avenue I will try. Please keep the advice coming. I will let you know what I do and what works to get rid of that nasty smell.
