Smelly Fabric...help!
I purchased some flannel to make baby blankets from a newer shop when I was visiting in PA. The store used to be a pool/spa store complete with an indoor pool (now empty). As a result the fabric reeks of chlorine! I should have known better because the store smelled strong enough to make me cough.
I didn't realize how strong it was until I washed it three (!!!) times and it still stinks. I've tried soaking it in vinegar, soaking in oxyclean, and Bioclean.
Any suggestions on what to try? I am sooo frustrated. I can't imagine wrapping a baby with new lungs in a blanket that smells so strong.
