The Smelliest Smell

Okay, maybe not the smelliest, but close.

[livejournal.com profile] skazat is a smelly man in general. He's been back from the Tour Divide for a month, and I'm still trying to de-stink the shorts he rode in on that ride. He took the first few stabs. Multiple rounds through the washing machine and oxyclean did most of the work. Then we hosed them off in Febreeze. We soaked them in soap and vinegar for a few hours, another round through the washing machine. Another round of Febreeze. A round of rubbing alcohol.
They are Febreezing in the sun right now.

The internet also suggests Pinesol, or hydrogen peroxide, or freezing....

Other ideas?

How much does a pair cost? The cost of multiple trips through a washing machine by themselves, plus all the stuff you've put on them sounds pretty pricy, and it might be worth just giving in and buying a new pair.
