Great thread. I have had good luck with hanging fabric outside and letting it spend the night there till afternoon the next day. Also the lower temps help too. Good luck.

Probably a good outside hanging would help.

We dry everything outside here....probably completely impractical for you and your current weather conditions, but I have had success just washing and draping over my rosemary and lavender bushes.

You could try a few drops of Oil of Cloves in the washing machine and wash them again. This works well if you happen to leave your washed clothes in the machine over night and they get that musty smell. Can't hurt
