Taking Shop Smell Out Of Clothes

    Apologies if this is the wrong place, but I didn't see anywhere more suitable.

    I bought a couple of fleeces a while back from Pennys. They had what I call the new shop smell, not a foul odor, more like a strong stale one from making being left on the shelf or something.

    Usually with any clothing like this is fine after a wash or two and the smell is gone. But it will not leave these fleeces :mad:

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Some product to add to the wash or some home remedy?

    A cup of white vinegar in a wash is generally good for getting our pungent smells

    The vinegar suggested above is worth a try. Be warned for the future that synthetic fibres i.e. polyester, acrylic etc. will trap strong odours and will not respond well to washing or airing.
