Help to remove mouse pee and smell.

Hi All

Bit down in the dumps today - I went to my parents yesterday to collect some of my daughters baby clothes/shawls they were storing for me and found they've had a mouse problem and most of the stuff has been ruined by smell and some stainage of mouse urine.

I know it's a long shot - but these things have a massive sentimental value - my mum made a lot of the cardigans and the baby-gro's remind me of happier times.

Anyone have any ideas about how to get rid of this problem?

So far I've done a 60 degree non-bio wash and a 35 degree non bio wash.

still not convinced though

:confused:

    Well I decided to put the whole lot on another wash cycle (don't want to think about the amount of electric used so far :eek: )

    I put in bicarb+vinegar and about 5 tbsp of Stardrops on a 95 degree cycle - if it doesn't damage everything - fingers crossed it'll get it out.

    The way I look at it - they're going to be binned if I can't sort it out - so this way at least I tried

    damn rodents! :mad:
