How to get the smell of motor oil or power steering fluid out of clothes?

I accidently washed a towel that had power steering fluid on it in with a large load of clothes.. Now the whole load smells like power steering fluid. I have washed them 3 times already and even bought expensive detergent and it still smells like an aouto garage.. Any one have any ideas?? Thanks=)How to get the smell of motor oil or power steering fluid out of clothes?
Add 1 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. It will remove odors and any excess oils and hard water in the wash bin. Do not add fabric softener, vinegar is a natural odor remover and fabric softenerHow to get the smell of motor oil or power steering fluid out of clothes?
Warm water and a box of baking soda in the washer with the clothes and soak for at least an hour. Then wash as usual. This will take the smell out of the washer, which may still be in there too. Your dryer may need a wipe down with a baking soda and water solution. (Unplugged, of course while you do this.)
