Stains such as mildew, oil, dirt and perspiration may leave unpleasant odours in clothes. Some odours are quite stubborn and may remain even when the cloth is washed. If your laundry detergent weren't able to lift the odour along with the stain from your clothes, then you will need to use odour absorbing products to lift the smell from the garment. By using a few inexpensive household item, you can effectively remove bad odours along with stains from your clothes.
Instructions
- Get the bad smelling clothes and place them into your washing machine. However, separate the colours from whites first to prevent dye transfer.
- Add ½ cup of baking soda to 3 tablespoons of heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent and use the mixture to launder the clothes as setting your washer on warm water.
- During the rinse cycle, add ¼ cup of white vinegar to the water, as suggested by cleaners Parsons Green. Vinegar is a natural odour remover and will help you to get rid of the bad odour from your clothing. Leave the clothes to dry and then inspect for remaining odour. If you can still sense any odour, repeat the cleaning process.
To get rid of mildew odour, place the clothing on a sunny spot for four hours. The sun's rays will kill any mould or mildew on the clothes. Once the mould is eliminated, launder the garments as following the instructions above. If the stained cloth is made of fine and delicate fabric then it would be better to use professional cleaning services to avoid any damage on the cloth.
