Home remedies for sweat odor in clothing
Curd soap
: It is particularly difficult to get the stubborn sweat odor out of thick textiles.
But if you moisten the garment and treat the material in the armpit with curd soap, you have a chance of getting rid of the odor.
It is best to let the incorporated curd soap soak in for a while.
Then the clothes can be washed as usual.
Hygiene rinse
: The antibacterial detergent helps in the fight against germs and bacteria.
So give it to the next wash cycle - the smell of sweat should be gone.
Washing soda
: This treatment takes a little more time.
One tablespoon of the powder is dissolved in about four liters of water.
After about 30 minutes you can soak the smelly clothes in it.
Leave your clothes in there overnight.
The next morning everything can be washed in the washing machine as usual.
Vinegar
: The miracle home remedy naturally also works if there is a smell of sweat in clothing.
Mix water and vinegar in a ratio of 3: 1 and soak clothes in it.
Preferably for an hour.
Then the clothes can be put in the washing machine.
Citric acid
: Particularly light-colored clothing can be treated with citric acid.
Mix the acid with lukewarm water and let the garment soak in it.
Ideally, the light-colored item of clothing lies in the water bath for up to three hours.
However, this home remedy is not suitable for dark things as it could fade.
