'musty' clothes

LindaJS

Hi all

Hope someone can help me - do you know if there is a way of getting rid of that 'musty' 'damp' smell that clothes sometimes get?

I'm thinking particularly of woolies, and second hand clothes. Normal washing just doesn't seem to get it out....

I buy quite a lot of second hand clothes off e-bay and wonder how some people keep their goods.... I wouldn't dream of selling soemthing that was smelly, but I guess we're not all the same

Hope someone has some bright ideas....

Linda

Try adding some bicard to your powder and instead of conditioner use 1/2 cup white (cheap) vinegar and a couple of drops of lavendar and rosemary oil. The bicarb absorbs smells - the vinegar helps to kill them and the oils are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and smell nice!
