A member asked:

How do i get urine odors out of freshly washed laundry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vinegar solution: The best way is to soak the item(s) of clothing in a mixture of white vinegar and warm water for several hours. There is no "magic" combination, but probably about 1 part vinegar (white!) to 3-4 parts of water usually does the trick. Then, rewash items as usual, with laundry detergent.
