• Washing should be done at high temperature, not less than 60 degrees.
• If repeated washing does not help, you need to boil things in a metal container with the addition of soap, powder and bleach. Boil 2-3 hours, stir occasionally. Then rinse with cold water. But this can not be done with synthetic things.
