Karen---------I don't know if you have a "Sam's Club" in your area, but I
get a disinfectant there called "O-do-Ban", and I put just about 1/8 cup in
the wash (in addition to regular detergent), and it freshens everything. No
odors left. It is a great disinfectant for other uses, as well. It comes
in a gallon concentrated jug. -------------Marna
