Try washing in baking soda and rinsing in vinegar. Hang out if possible. Worked for me. My quilt picked up odor from a curtain that I put in the dryer to get the dust out. It was a temporary cheapo that I was giving away. I was washing my quilt and stuck it in the dryer right after the curtain and it picked up the odor. It must have been made of some type of petroleum product. I washed and washed and washed. Thought my quilt was ruined. Now it smells so fresh! woo hoo
Ever since I have been washing and rinsing with the soda and vinegar, hanging some things out and others in the dryer.
Additional hint.
Use some citric acid in the dishwasher. (not with anything aluminum though) Dishes and the dishwasher get really clean and sparkly.
