My girlfriend after 5 years of preaching how my hunting clothes are not to be washed with regular laundry detergent went ahead and did a load of most of my gear with double the amount of detergent and fabric softener in the washer and used about 5 dryer sheets in the dryer and now my clothing smells like a patch of strawberries. Is there a way to get this **** out of my clothes. I think they are ruined I've washed them in scent killer three times and the smell hasn't faded one bit!???
Hang them outside After a week if that doesn't work rewash in no scent and hang outside again. If you ever really wanna get rid of the smell get a scent bag or even build a closet with a ozone generator.....both options cost about 150-200
keep soaking in a tub of baking soda, still smells, repeat, I would also be worried about the uv brighteners also
Sounds like a good opportunity for an ozone generator. Ozone is great at removing odors. An ozone generator actually creates ozone form the air. Ozone has an extra atom of oxygen which will readily break off and attach to odor causing molecules. In doing so, it changes the molecular makeup of that molecule causing the odor causing agents to be changed or destroyed. There are lots of options out there, I've been using the products form ScentLok called OZ with excellent success. I was a skeptic until I tried it for myself and experienced the results. https://www.damagecontrol-911.com/guide-to-removing-odors-with-ozone-generators/
Spray it with some nose jammer, then all you’ll be able to smell is a nice vanilla type scent, I love that stuff... also works well on hunting road trips with gasey hunting partners... personally I wouldn’t worry about it....
This reply is up there with the best!!! Seriously though, I'd just rewash them with baking soda only. Then take them outside to dry in the fresh air for a few days.
Why not just re-wash them with a hunting detergent? They are just clothes man... my wife has done the same to me before, but I just rewash them and put them in my scented box for storage and they are just fine. Smell like pine every time.
I'd rewash using a box of baking soda and unscented detergent and a extra rinse cycle, air dry out side. Repeat if necessary
I fail to see the problem. My wife always washes my hunting clothes in whatever good smelling detergent she washes the rest of our clothes in, and I love the fabric softener she uses. Gets the static out, make them soft and it really smells good.
like others have said wash in baking soda and hang outside to dry. Hanging clothes outside will even get cigarette smokey bar smell out. Mostly anyway.
