Please can someone advise me. Thank you, Josie

I would put them in a bag with baking soda ,open each one up and sprinkle a little on each one as you lay them in there.it will take away the odor and than when you use them you can wash after wards or what ever you like.Kitty litter also helps to draw out odors.

Vingar. Then dry them. Repeat if necessary.

I'd definitely wash it!!

Serge or zig-zag around the edges to prevent ravelling then wash. I do that with any washable fabric that comes into the house before it even makes it to the sewing room.

I have heard this too at a quilt show, but they insisted it had to be the white Lifeboy soap.
