The quilt guild that I belong to has a lady that smokes. All of the charity quilts that she makes are given to me to wash and dry. I use 1 capful of liquid laundry detergent, 1/2 cup super washing soda and 1/2 cup Borax 20 Mule Team Laundry Detergent Booster. I wash for 18 minutes, do an extra rinse cycle and add white vinegar to the final rinse. They come out fresh and clean smelling.
