Are you a farmer? or do you work in an industry that leaves you with smelly clothes?
Try using Washing Soda with your laundry, it helps to remove odors.
Washing soda is one of the basic ingredients in making your own laundry deterge
nt. Come to find out yesterday from my sister-in-law it is the ingredient that is the odor remover.
I had given some homemade laundry detergent as Christmas gifts, and she liked it because it was the first soap that really removed the barn smell from their clothes. So I had made her some more and later she read about using washing soda for removing skunk smells from clothes, so just tried that.
For a batch of homemade laundry detergent grate up a bar of hand soap (using 2 cups) add 1 cup of Arm & Hammer washing soda and 1 cup of Mule Team Borax. Mix it altogether. Use 1-2 Tablespoons per load of laundry.
So I wouldn’t think it would take very much to add to your wash to remove smells.
