@alohakz How about soaking in hydrogen peroxide w/water? The HP may lift some of the odor. I am guessing so maybe Google it.

White vinegar rinse.....took out the musty shore smell from linens for me.

@Bhvbum Personally, I would not want my clothes smelling from vinegar. I have read that it is used. There are other detergents that the OP may have luck with. I Googled it because I was curious.

Use ammonia (along with detergent) in your wash cycle. Follow directions on the bottle.

I also use vinegar in every wash to
sanitize and soften and strangely, the clothes never retain a vinegar smell at all. After soaking in it and some baking soda you could wash it again with detergent in usual wash and then air out in the sun.

@alohakz just wondering which fabric softener you used.

If you don’t want to use vinegar try Borax. It’s a powder that comes in a cardboard box. I find it in the laundry aisle. I use it for dog blankets, sour towels, and any dirty laundry that has sat too long.
