I recently had a family member temporarily (7 months) staying in my spare room. When they left I went in to clean, wash bedding, etc. The sheets and bed sets had a horrific, I'm assuming, body odor of some type. I have washed it a few times now and the odor remains. I'm not able to do a pre- soak as my washer doesn't have the option (front load). I also don't have access to line dry (condominium). I'm at a loss. I don't want to throw them out before trying some other options. So far I've tried Tide, and Tide Boost.
Thank you!

You might want to add half a cup of white vinegar to the regular wash, and some softener.
Try a fragrance booster in the wash.
You can try to soak the sheets in warm water with 1 cup vinegar and some mild dish soap. Make sure to get your hands in there sort of like hand wash the sheets.
soak them in vinegar water in a sink or bath tub for a few hours. Then wash in cold water. Even if you can't line dry, don't use the dryer. Hang over a rack, or chair or something else to air dry in front of an open window.
