grim smelling clothes

Hi all, CheesecakeAddict is going to attempt to do something domestic Shock.

So I've been given a huge bag of maternity clothes which I am so thrilled about because it means more money can be spent on things for baby. However, these clothes must have been stored away for about 6 years and stink and a pair of trousers look to be a bit mouldy (white patches all over them).

Do you think a normal wash (with powder and softener) will sort them out or would you recommend doing something else first/adding something to the wash? Also, do you think the trousers are salvageable?

Put the trousers in the bin.

Put everything else in a 60 wash with Ariel and softener. Should be ok.

Add a cap of zoflora with the softener in the machine. I do that for smelly gym clothes
