How To Remove Odor From Clothes Without Washing Them
Nobody likes clothes that smell of odor but at the same time, washing them can be quite the chore that makes people procrastinate. Whether it’s that gym shirt you want to wear again or your favourite sweater that just needs a quick refresh, there are several simple ways to remove odor from clothes without washing them. That’s why, in this blog post, we’ll look at some handy tips.
1. Hang Them Out To Air Dry
One of the simplest way to freshen up clothes is by hanging them outside to air dry. A combination of fresh air and sunlight can work wonders in removing odors. Simply hang your clothes on a clothesline or a drying rack in a well-ventilated area. For the best results, leave them out for a few hours to let nature do its work.
2. Use Fabric Freshening Sprays
Using fabric freshening sprays will also help remove odors from clothes without washing them. It’s important to you search for products that are created for use on clothing and fabrics. Once you find the right product, simply spray it on the affected area and allow it to air dry.
3. Use Vinegar
Vinegar can be quite the hero when it comes to laundry but one of the best things about it is that can be used to eliminate odors from clothes. To start, mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray them onto the smelly areas of your garment. Afterwards, allow the vinegar to dry properly.
4. Use Baking Soda
Baking soda is not only a household favourite but it can also help remove odors from clothes. It reacts well with the acidic molecules that are the cause of bad odors and does a grand job in dealing with them. To start, simply sprinkle a small amount of baking soda onto the affected areas of your clothing and let it sit for several hours or overnight. Then, simply brush or shake off the baking soda before wearing your clothes.
5. Steam Them
Last but not least, steaming your clothes is a great way to freshen up your clothes and also removing wrinkles at the same time. Not only will it leave you looking more presentable but it will also keep your clothes smelling clean and fresh without the need of washing them.
With these simple methods, you can remove odors from clothes without washing them. Whether you’re dealing with sweat, smoke, or other unpleasant smells, these tips will help keep your wardrobe smelling fresh and clean between washes.
