Also when drying be sure to use a fabric freshener or if hang drying spray down with a bit of febreze.
Great advice! Thanks. I'm going to try using some baking soda and soaking it for now on. I haven't ever really had too much of a problem, but there is still a little bit of residual funk every now and then.
