When my kids get hand me downs they are always DRENCHED in fabric softener.. and let me tell you.. it take A LOT to get rid of the scent. I usually wash them at least 2 times with my fragrance free laundry soap, adding white vinegar AND baking soda. I then re-rinse them a few times with the vinegar and then smell them again. Try line drying them if you can (since it's winter) and then smell.. I've found that fresh air works the best. I can't believe how bad it actually sticks to the clothes! (obviously can't be good for you) :/Good luck!!! Oh and obviously never use it again. LOL My husband is also allergic.

Vinegar can be used as a softener. It can also help remove some of the fragrance if you are running the clothes through the rinse cycle again. If your boyfriend is not extremely sensitive, you may be able to get relief by tumbling the clothes in the dryer with a damp towel.

You have to use only detergents that are free of fragrance and softner sheets that don't have fragrance either. Also, don't wear perfume and use a soap like dove that has no fragrance.

You can also use soft water and you may not need softener. Why does he need his clothes soften, the only time I used it was for my kids diapers.

Sensitivity to petroleum runs in my family, so I can sympathize. You could try running a rinse cycle with vinegar or baking soda in it. Even a plain rinse should help get the softener out. Good luck!

Vinegar will also act as a environmentally friendly fabric softener. I was once told to use about a half a cup of regular vinegar in your wash or rinse cycle.
