    Also, I’d OP lives in a hard water area they might need to use more detergent.

    They can also try chucking in isopropyl alcohol, that really works well

      Isopropyl ? Really ? I have a big bottle of it for cleaning electronics but I had never thought of using it on clothes

        As long as it’s unscented, yes.

        At work we have 99% isopropyl, but it’s intentionally smelly so we don’t accidentally cause a fire risk or whatever. At home I get 95% that isn’t smelly, and that works really well on clothes.

        My Argentinian neighbour uses only alcohol and no detergent, and she doesn’t smell bad, lol.

        As per the other comment, white vinegar has the same effect :-)
