Here is a dry cleaners guide to cleaning thrifted or second hand clothing. Doing all of these steps is a bit excessive, but hopefully one or two of my recommendations will stick for you!
1) Pretreating odors or stains with a high quality stain remover is a great place to start. The longer these products sit on soil the better they work
2) Adding laundry boosters into your laundry will raise the pH of your water and allow detergents to work better. If you include sodium percarbonate in your mixture it will also whiten and brighten.
3) Downy Rinse & Refresh is an amazing fabric stripper that blasts away odors due to it's extremely low pH. This is an ideal product for older clothing with funky smells.
4) Using a laundry detergent made specifically for odors is a good idea too!
5) EnviroKlenz's odor removing supplement is also a very strong product for stink
