Recently started using fleece...

[MeiXiTian]

To anyone else who uses fleece, what detergent do you use?

No matter what one I seem to use for my fleece, it comes out of the washing still smelling a little bad. :S

Any suggestions?

Do you use a biological detergent? That's all I can think of that'd be best, other than that I don't know sorry

Yeah I do. It smells nice when I've just taken it out of the machine, but when I put it on the washing line/clothes horse to dry, the bad smell comes back. :S

I am sure you can get liquid detergent with Febreze in it, not tried it myself as they are on shavings now but may be worth a try. When I used to have fleece, I added fabric conditioner and they always came out smelling nice.

I use a non-bio liquid gel and no fabric conditioner (as this can stop the pee from wicking away). I usually wash the fleece at 30 degrees but noticed it wasn't washing up as well recently. I washed them at 40 degrees and they smell great this time. You can also add a capful of white vinegar to the wash (in the fabric conditioner compartment) as this will help get rid of stubborn odours.

I do mine on a 40 degree wash and use something called surcare- its for sensitive skin never had a problem with smells.

If you're washing at 30, try changing to 40. Also, like was previously said, add some white vinegar to wash, that will take away the nasty smell.

Thank you for the advice everyone! =D I'll have to try the white vinegar thing and see if that takes the smell away. <3
