I work with horses all day, and when I wash my clothes, they still smell like manure. Is there a trick to getting the smell out. Thanks!

Add some vinegar to the wash.

Sam's Club sells a product called OdoBan-I add a small amount to any laundry that is a little smelly, and it works great. Also try using a fabric softener (I prefer Downy) and hang the clothes outside to dry if possible. My husband also mentioned that you can buy the laundry soap hunters use which takes away all odors so the deer cannot detect any scent. Hope either of these work for you

You might want to start adding baking soda, borax or ammonia to your wash water. This will solve your problem. Detergent alone is no match for the pungent smell of manure

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I heard that All and Tide are the only detergents that really get clothes clean. I've also heard that the powdered kind is better. I suggest using warm or hot water and not overloading the washer.

We used Tide and Borax on the farm. I would also run them 2 x in wash

put a cup of baking soda in the wash and a cup of white vinegar in the rinse.

Tide with bleach (powder or liquid) and about a cup of white distilled vinegar.
