The wet dog smell is not a *bad* smell but it's not fresh. Certainly not how clean laundry should smell. So after soaking in very hot water overnight, with some teatree and eucalyptus oil then rinsing in the machine, line drying in the sun and finishing with a quick tumble dry, they smell much better. It must have been the hot water as I usually soak my nappies with the oil overnight before washing anyway, only in cold water. Also the not quite drying for sure. Thanks team BB!
