Oddly enough, some of my T-shirts came out of the wash still smelling like I had yet to throw them into the machine. What must I do to remove the smell? Soak them? If so, in what?

Soak them in your normal detergent, use some fabric softener in there also (about half the normal amount)
Let them soak for about 20 minutes or so prior to washing them, if its still nice outside where you are let them air dry, if not use 2 fabric softener sheets in the dryer. This should get rid of the smells for you. Good Luck

The best way to remove the smell from cloths is hanging them in the sun for a day....This works for alot of different smells we get in out clothes...gas,oil, etc.
I have a blanket I keep in the create with my dog, and believe me it smells bad sometimes...I took the blanket outside and put it in the sun for 2 days, when I went back to get it to wash it, it smelled as tho it had been washed....I did bring it in and wash it tho....
I thought it was the sun killing all the bacteria, but I seen a guy respond to an answer I had written the other day and he said it was the Ozone that was killing the bacteria.

I would use washing detergent as well as a good smelling fabric softener then when I put the clothes in the drier I use dryer sheets. However, sometimes when I wash clothes and they sit there for sometimes only a few hours, I just have to rewash but I add a little more detergent than it calls for.

Try washing it with detergent that eliminate smells. Some laundry detergents have some extra agents in them to break down odor particles. The same way some detergents have agents in them to break down stains. If the smell continues then maybe you should consider changing your lifestyle or the things you are doing. If you are washing your clothes and you continue to hang out in places that are filled with the odor you are trying to get rid of then the odor would have no choice but to resurface on your clothes.

You should set it on Extra Rinse if your washing machine has it.. and add some fluffy softener - it has a really nice smell.. and try adding a lil more detergent than is required to the wash.. Gluck

in the experience that your device has a extra rinse, that ought to assist. you ought to run your outfits in the process the rinse cycle back. try making use of much less laundry detergent too. i spotted that now that I actually have a front loader, i want much less detergent. I circulate away my washer door open to dry the gasket and interior the device. this is open till i exploit it back. i don't ought to bathe the interior the device. I even have had suitable loading and front loading machines and continuously circulate away the door open to the device. As a final motel you ought to alter detergents. stable success

Pour baking soda on the T-shirts directly then put them in the wash with your detergent.

use washing powder or do you really stink that badly? Yes do not let them sit in the washer. Most soaps are perfumed are you putting enough in or are you being too cheap? And do not buy the cheapest detergent.
