Pissy stinky washing - Help!

[QueenArnica]

I have the most amazing cleaner, she’s absolutely brilliant. However she sometimes does stuff I haven’t asked her to do because she’s so fab.

Anyhoo this week she put on a wash for me but didn’t leave me a note to say she had. Cue two days later I go to put some washing on and there’s the load she did

I washed it again but it’s still tainted with that horrible piss smell you get when you don’t hang washing straight away.

How do I get rid of it? Thinking of hanging it on the line in the rain for a few days then wash again?

Thanks all in advance for pissy washing tips!

yes, I think hanging it out outside for a day or so would be your best bet.
maybe a rinse & spin before you do.

Try washing it with dettol anti bac wash stuff.

Was thinking of some napisan thrown in then stick it outside in the rain

Yes to the dettol washing cleanser or napisan which is the same thing basically but in powder. It definitely gets the smell of actual wee (and other things) out of baby clothes.

Re-wash as hot as is suitable and lots of powder & fabric conditioner in it, than hang outside.

Vanish is really good at getting rid of stains, so I would assume it would freshen washing at the same time. Just put a scoop in with the washing powder, should do the trick.

how on earth can it still smell if its been washed again. Maybe your washing machine needs servicing or you need better detergent

White vinegar is a great deodoriser. Stick a glug in the drawer along with normal powder and fabric softener and it should be fine.

Wash it with bicarb of soda where the powder goes and white vinegar where the fabric softener goes. As hot a cycle as you can.

Wash with white wine vinegar and it'll go!

Rewash with Zoflora?

We have this FWP too, I'll try the white vinegar but are you sure that my clothes won't just smell of vinegar instead?

We use fabric conditioner as we use eco washing liquid which smells of nothing but our clothes don't come out with that lovely fresh smell.

Zoflora!!!

Can you wash with Zoflora?! I like the sound of this but not sure about experimenting with my clothes

I do wash my machine regularly with stuff from Waitrose

Thanks all am going to do Napisan, detergent and conditioner, hang outside and see. Will let you know if it works...

I wash with zoflora, totally fine with a capful in the softener bit of the tray. No issues with anything washed with it x

I can confirm, white vinegar (about 250ml) in the final rinse really works (even works on cat pee). And the washing doesn't smell of vinegar when it's dry.

Being a lazy twunt I often forget that there's washing in the machine, I just wash it again and it never smells. There's something wrong with your washing machine, I think.

Whenever we wash things again it doesn't smell that's strange. I would try fabric conditioner as well, you'll probably smell like an air freshener instead then but should overpower the stale smell.

Second washing with zoflora , I use it with bedding and towels

I must be the only person in the world that doesn't have 'pissy stinky washing' if its been in the machine for a day or two. What is this phenomenon?

One day is fine normally, two days is borderline you can get lucky or unlucky, tends to smell of damp after that.

Be careful it doesnt get darkened on lol you will have another problem

We now have a washer dryer

Napisan will surely whiten? I wouldn't use it unless on whites. I'd use Zoflora or I'd buy some Surf that specifically gets rid of bad odours; it's brilliant!
