I managed to do a full wash that included a rag soaked in white spirit. The whole wash is now smelling of white spirit.:mad:
So far I've soaked it in the bath in white vinegar and water and washed it again with a cup of vinegar in the machine. Still smelling
any other suggestions :think:

I would try drying it now and you may well find that the smell will reduce. It may take a couple of washes to restore it completely but it isnt irretrievable.

A similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago. The only thing that shifted it was pegging it all out and leaving it overnight, then washing again as normal.
