Make sure you dilute the bleach first!!!! other wise you will get white spots that eat the material.

You could try one wash with bleach, then an immediate second wash with either normal detergent, or just plain water.

I use borax and washing soda with my detergent and bleach! That will take the smell out of anything!

Just pour the bleach into the laundry tub while it is filling with water. That will dilute the bleach. Then add the clothes. I've never had a problem doing it that way.

Ummmm. I live in the Seattle area! Ha! Ha! We kid we get a week of sunshine. Actually the sun is shining right now, but that is in between the rain clouds. It has been raining off and on for a week.

Right now I am soaking it in the one cup of ammonia with detergent in hot water. I will let you know how it works.

Borax is great at getting the doggy odor out of dog bedding. I use it and detergent, agitate a minute, then turn the washer off and let it soak for a little while, then resume the regular load. The soak cycle on the washer isn't long enough to suit me.
