Hiya! I washed a cloth I'd used for decorating in the washing machine. The problem is that is has turpentine on it and now the washing stills smells of turpentine, anything I wash smells of turpentine and I don't know how to get rid of it!!! HELP!!!! I've run bleach through a cycle but it made no difference. I really need some advice.

I would squeeze a lemon or two into the drum and run a hot cycle . Hopefully that will do the trick

Good luck

You could try adding a little squirt of wasing up liquid and washing at 95.
