Veena Look, I get it. You open your wardrobes and that smell of mustiness comes like a blast. I experienced the same case with one stack of old clothing that I had not used in months, I simply did not have time to wash all the clothes at once, but could not stand the smell either. Firstly I thought of wardrobe smell remover hacks.
The odorous air was also rendering me allergic. I sneezed like everything, with itchy eyes. I had to have a wardrobe smell remover that does not take long.
This is what has occurred to me when I tried a very simple wardrobe smell remover hack that has transformed everything.
My Closet Crisis (And How I Lost It in a Minute).
So here’s the deal. These jacks and aged shirts were long due to stay in my wardrobe. Life just is like that – you are in a hurry, clothes accumulate, and before your eyes, your outfit starts to scent like something that has been concealed in the ruined basement.
Initially, I believed that I had to wash all the things. But who has time for that? In addition, there were delicate articles or dry-clean only. I needed a faster smell remover product on the wardrobe that would not require a whole weekend at the launder room.
It is at this point that I took baking soda in my kitchen.
The Baking Soda Test (Spoiler: It Worked)
I sprinkled those areas that smelled most of the must, a wool jacket that smelt of old books and a cotton shirt that smelled of forgotten laundry. I allowed them to rest a half hour or so, and rubbed everything off.
In another day or two the smell had disappeared. Not masked – actually gone.
This is how it did it: baking soda does not simply mask odors. It absorbs them. In the case of truly intractable materials, I discovered that it is even more effective to put the garment in a bag with a cup of baking soda overnight. Splash it about, and leave it, get up and find fresh clothes.
No washing required.
Other Quick Wardrobe Smell Remover Tricks that I have tried.
I became curious after my first success in baking soda. What better fragrance in a wardrobe than this!
The Vinegar Spray Method
I combined an equal quantity of white vinegar and water in an old spray bottle. Washed my gym clothes (shirts) (since admittedly, they required washing) and left them to dry. The vinegar smell is quickly forgotten, and so is the odor of sweat.
Exquisite with synthetic clothing which seems to store the odors as if they are gathering them.
Freezer Hack for Jeans
It is a strange sort of a thing to say, but it functions. I put my pair of jeans in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer overnight. Odor-producing bacteria are killed by cold. Allow them to cool down, and they are good to eat.
I have been applying this to denim and heavy materials not so much on delicate ones.
Vodka Spray (Yes, Really)
I had some vodka left over in a party (unflavoured of the cheap kinds) which I chose to try this out. Put a spray bottle in the fill and sprayed a blazer that could not be washed. The alcohol will evaporate at extreme speed sweeping away odors.
Superb as a formal wear or anything that cannot be washed regularly.
Long East Line Wardrobe odour Remover Solutions.
After addressing the problem at hand, I did not want such a problem to occur again. Here’s what’s been working:
Activated Charcoal Bags
I put several bags of charcoal in my wardrobes and drawers. They take months to absorb moisture and smell. And when they become useless, then simply place them in the sun a couple of hours and so the batteries are regenerated. Zero waste, maximum results.
Coffee Grounds
This one sounds odd, but the dried coffee grounds in a small bag will put in your wardrobe absorb the smell of things but leave no trace. I change mine out monthly.
Lavender Sachets
My feeling about the scented drawer department is that it is not a frivolity, yet dried lavender in cotton sachets is a true freshener. In addition to this, it contains antimicrobial protection that eliminates the build-up of mildew.
What I Learned About Smell Remover Methods of Wearable.
Having tried various courses of actions, here is my opinion:
Fastest fix: Baking soda. Hands down. It is not very expensive, you might even be carrying it around, and it only takes less than 48 hours.
Best on continuing freshness: Charcoal bags. You can place them and leave them months.
Most shocking: The freezer approach. I did not think it until I tried it.
The trick is that you should ensure your clothes are dry before putting them away. Moisture breeds odor. That is what I experienced with the difficult lesson of putting a slightly wet hoodie in my wardrobe, and returning a week later to regret it.
The Catch?
These wardrobe smell remover tricks are brilliant at enjoying in-between-washing, but not cleaning. When it is dirty or really stained, then you will still have to wash the item correctly.
Moving on, to wear longer, to deal with mustiness, to work with pieces that you can not wash often? Such practices are life savors.
My Go‑To Setup Now
In my closets, I have baking soda to use in last-minute repairs, bags of charcoal to keep the stench, and that spray bottle of vinegar to use during emergency house situations like post-gym. Total cost? Maybe few rupees. Results? Better than all the commercials wardrobe smell remover spray that I have purchased.
When your wardrobe has been odorous like mine, then start with baking soda. Sprinkle, wait, brush off. Find out whether it works the same the way it did with me.
And when you have delicate garments or professional clothes that you can hardly wash, then you have a better friend the vodka spray technique. Well, then, said I, just don’t drink it later on-believe me.
