    Hey! I live at home with my dad who is a smoker. The best way to get the smoke completely out is Oxy Clean. I use it on the carpets, clothes, everything. It's the Purple Oxy Clean. So what you do is you mix some pretty easy ingredients. Just do hot water in the tub with a Ajax Dish Soap and Oxy Clean. It pulls everything right out.

Put vinegar in the rinse, and the smell will NOT go away. I am about to just give up and get rid of it. I have soaked it in detergent, some water with vinegar, dish soap, oxy clean. I swear nothing is working. I could try an all night soak, but even that might not work. ☹️

    Yes with vinegar and baking soda you can pretty much get even fungus out of your clothes and the smell of fungus or like when you leave your clothes in the washer and forget about them for a couple days I'm sure this happened everybody at once in their life and that awful smell that you think doing my clothes are ruined no just pour half a cup of vinegar half a cup of baking soda into your washer with your clothes and even a half a cup of your laundry detergent and it will do the job I swear the only thing is you can hang dry them because as the dryer I don't know why the smell will form like they have to be dry you know you have to try them in the dryer that's at least my experience with them
