I use Kirkland laundry detergent and bleach from my fleece and towels. I was using vinegar and there was still a noticeable odor on the fleece and towels. When I dry the fleece I use Kirkland dryer sheets. Yes I love Costco!!!!

Don't ever use dryer sheets. They can cause your fleece to stop wicking.

I use All Free and Clear with 1 cup vinegar and 2/3 cup Borax. Might be overkill but it takes care of them smell :)

Thank you MrWhistles. I never new that, I always use dryer sheets. I will stop using them and see what a difference it makes.

I use All Free and Clear on all of our clothing and the guinea pig stuff. I use Oxiclean when the laundry needs a boost. I do not use vinegar because it makes my kids break out in hives.

I use baby Dreft laundry detergent & add a cup of vinegar in with it. It works great, have never had any problems but I might have to try the All Free & Clear :)
