We use proraps and they are smelling like mildew. I can't see any mildew but the smell is pretty strong. How can I get rid of it? I know I'm not supposed to bleach the covers. Does vinegar work, or tea tree oil? What do you all suggest?

Do you hang them outside to dry? If not, that is what I would suggest. Sunlight is supposed to kill germs and such.

I would probably not use vinegar on the covers, but maybe like 10 drops of TTO in the rinse water would work.

No you aren't suposed to bleach the covers, but if they are white and you have tried everything else, I'd say throw a tablespoon of bleach in the wash.

Letting them dry outside seems to help some, but we live in an apartment and our balcony doesn't get a whole lot of sun. I will try the TTO. Thanks for the suggestions.
