Before primary washing in regular washing powder/soap.
Soke the clothes in a solution of baking soda(Sodium bi-carbonate/sodium hydrogen carbonate) or Soda crystals(Washing soda/ sodium carbonate).
Rinse
Then wash in the normal detergent.
If cotton or linen clothes, whilst wet/damp put them into laundry starch solution, hand squeeze dry, and allow to dry in the air.
When dry , then iron/callender. (They'll be 'stiff as a board'. )
NB Sodium bi-carbonate or sodium carbonate, is a soluble salt, that will remove smells from many things, clothes, floors, drains, working surfaces.
It is harmless to human skin, but wear kitchen gloves if needed, although it might make the skin a bit dry.
Of itself it is odourless, white crystals.
NB DO NOT use Bleech.

∙ 12y agoThere are several things that should work. You can re-wash them in your regular detergent, then dry. Or you can wash them with a cup of baking soda instead. You can also wash them with detergent plus a cup of baking soda added together in the wash water, which would probably be the best solution.
Once the clothes are washed again, and if the odor is gone, dry them immediately to prevent the sour smell from returning. Also, hanging them in sunshine after washing will help a lot, too.

How do you get soured smell out of clothes?
To remove the sour odor of clothes you generally wash them (again if they have already been washed) with detergent. When my brother moved out of our parent's home he left his old baby blanket that reaked of his body odor. My mother wanted to keep it because it because it was something personal to her. It took 5 washes to get the odor out. If washing clothes in detergent do not remove the odor the next step would be to mix fragerance liquid (to pour the liquid of air spray onto the clothes).
