I've received some great hand-me-down clothes lately, but the smell of laundry detergent is overwhelming. I have a front-loading european washer and use very little, and unscented, detergent. Any ideas? thanks in advance....

Wash them again in your washer, w/ unscented detergent. A bit of vinegar in the water may help, too.

Rewash your clothes with the unscented detergent which should take care of it or hang them outside to air out.

Rewash a couple of times using NO detergent. Add a cup of WHITE vinegar to each load.

spray them with an odor remover like frebreze unscented. also if u just let them get air the smell wil lbe gone in a few days. (but if u just wear them with the smell u will eventually not notice it

Rewash them and hang them outside to dry in the fresh air.

Just keep wearing them for 2 weeks without taking them off .

Just keep washing them without soap... hang them in a well ventilated place... in time the odor will decrease..
