Hi all. Trying to get dog smell out of clothes & blankets. I've tried several commercial odor removers (Unique Pet Odor & Stain Eliminator, Tide w/Febreze, OxyClean in various forms), but nothing has worked. Have read suggestions left earlier on YA as well. Hubby has suggested using Pine-Sol in wash, claims his mother used this successfully. Can't ask, as she's deceased. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

I use Borax, along with my detergent and allow the load to soak for at least 15-20 minutes... works on all fabrics including fine..... For bedding and towels I do use 3/4 cup Pine Sol(funny you mention it), it works great on the sheets that have dog hair and smell, but be careful with it on fine fabrics as it does have a solvent in it. Borax is cheap and helps the detergent(like the Oxyclean but cheaper),
p.s., I only use cold water...... good luck.... dave

Arm and Hammer Laundry detergent works great, And use Febreeze in between times. Bathe your dog on a regular basis. You can actually spray Febreeze on the dog too. It won't hurt him and it does help with "doggy odor" Also, when the washer begins the rinse cycle, pour in a cup of white vinegar. It will not only cut the smell but will color guard your fabrics as well.

Try adding vinegar to your cold rinse water. Also baking soda should do the trick also. Pinesol I have never heard of doing the laundry with it but heck give it a try! Good Luck!

There is a product out called SCOE10x that can remove a lot of odors. Try this product in your laundry.
