Hi there - I too had a problem with stinky cloths. =) I put my cloths in a bucket of hot water with vinegar. The vinegar kills the odours and then I just launder them as usual. I saw on a program (think it might have been the Marilyn Dennis show - the Butler guy) that if your cloths smell funny after you wash them, it's not because they are not clean. It's because the cloths are porous and the smells get absorbed. A little vinegar kills the smells. =)
