Question from Lauren
Debra,
I recently bought my first set of organic cotton sheets, and found out what so many were saying about the odor was true. I too, could not tolerate the smell. I tried adding boiling water to my wash, baking soda, washing soda and milk, as some other suggested, to no avail. What finally worked for me was fresh lemon juice. I used 4 lemons, cut them in half, squeezed the juice out and poured it into my wash. For good measure, I decided to throw in the lemon halfs – what the heck! I lined dried them sheets and found that the odor was gone, and for me I was now able to tolerate them. I haven’t tried lemon juice for other odors, but I intend to.
