Does anyoe have any tips that work for getting rid of that awful smell you get in black jeans?

I've had several pairs that have had the same smell, normal washing doesn't seem to get rid and it seems to get stronger when they get warm during wear. Is there anything else that anyone else has found that will work?

    I know what you mean.

    T*sco jeans seem to be the worse for this. If anyone could could help I would be grateful too. :j

    Lots of fabric conditioner? Air them outside...inside out though, or they will fade.

    Ugh I'm glad I'm not alone on this one...Asda jeans were the worst for me! Still stunk after a years worth of washes, to be fair I didn't used to use fabric conditioner though. I then put on weight and said goodbye to them hehe, wouldn't recommend doing this ;)

    I now give cheap jeans a good whiff before buying .

    Good luck, sorry for not having a helpful contribution to your thread! x
