    Baking soda and sun-drying will prevent odors from building up. I don't know how well they'll do at removing odors that are already there, though.

    I have had some success with soaking items in some white vinegar/water solution. I don't have any specific measurements, just put some water in a bucket and add some vinegar. Then I wash mine in the delicate cycle.

    Have you tried removing the bladder and soaking the Camelbak in mild detergent? I've put mine in a sweater laundry bag and washed it on delicate in the washing machine and air dried it. Make sure everything is out of the pack first.

    Another thing I've done is pour rubbing alcohol on the offensive material and letting it set for a couple of minutes than laundering it.

    I use washing soda added with the detergent to remove odors, and white vinegar in the softener cup to remove soap residue.

    If you use the dryer rather than hanging them to dry, use a low heat/permanent press cycle, not high heat.
