| I wash them in the washing machine with regular laundry soap, no softener, bleach or anything else. I wash in cold or warm, and hang dry. I never have odor problems.

| I prewash them in 20 Mule Team Borax, then add a little bit of bleach to the wash water. I tried Oxyclean, but could still smell the urine. |

| washing I wash mine in warm water with Tide and some Clorox bleach and then I toss in the dryer. They always smell fresh and clean when they are done.

| I do a prewash and then a regular wash with regular detergent and warm water. No bleach or fabric softeners. I don't usually have a problem with smell. If I do (rarely) then I will put a little OdoBan in the last rinse and that takes care of it.

| I use Tide w/ Bleach Alternative and then use a little vinegar in the rinse cycle.
