  • How to get smells out of fabric in washing machine?

    If my bf has been working particularly hard, his T-shirts are sometimes very musky, as are his sports clothes. I put them in the wash with that lovely Comfort stuff - it smells lovely on all our other clothes, but it doesn't get rid of the smell in these T shirts. I've tried pre-treating them, it just doesn't help. What can I do?How to get smells out of fabric in washing machine?
    Baking Soda in the wash and good fabric softener.





    If he has the type of sports shirts that are like nylon or the ones that are for wicking sweet from you skin they tend to smell. I think it has to do with the fabric. You may want to wash them separability so they do not make every thing smell in the dryer.How to get smells out of fabric in washing machine?
    I have the same problem and I asked my grandmother what she does, but I haven't tried it yet.





    BORAX has multiple different uses, one of them being a detergent. My grandmother just adds half a cup to the laundry on top of her other detergent. She says it gets any smells out.





    The only picture I could find of the box is this one:

    (I hope that link works.. if not just google BORAX in images and it's a light green box with a little girl in the middle I think.





    Good Luck
    Baking soda! 1 cup in the laundry when you put the soap in.


    Buy the big box,it's good for so many things!
    put them somewhere realy hot and dry but not a dryer
    to be blunt buy him a big can of antiperspirant instead of his usual deodorant as one stops sweat and the other just hides the smell with a stronger one.
    I would add about a cup or two of white vinegar to the wash water. It does miracles!
    I use Simply Sensitive Eco Smart Washing Tablets. They come in a green and white tub, they are eco friendly too! I bought them from the Co-Op store a few months back as they were on special offer lol and I have used them ever since, they even get the sweaty smell off my 15 year old sons socks and that is no mean feat (feet lol) Both he and my partner have even said theeir clothes smell good!!!!!


    Give it a try, the bonus is that there is a 50p off next purchase in packs at the minute too!!
    hmm there was a girl on here a few days ago that says she washed with shampoo's and conditioners... try adding your favorite fragrance in the mix.. lol
    Try adding lavender oil. I have used it for the same problems (it also gets rid of mold smells from the washing machine).

    Does anyone know how to get a funky smell out of a new washed fabric?

    I just bought a pair of pants from a catalog, and I am pissed! They smell like moth balls. Sometimes when I am in Chinatown or other Asian places, sometimes around Asian people I smell it too. ( I guess I should not stand so close huh?) hehe. Any advice other than washing the hell out of them over and over what can I do? Will it go away?????Does anyone know how to get a funky smell out of a new washed fabric?
    add vinegar to your load in the washer.Does anyone know how to get a funky smell out of a new washed fabric?
    I feel funny telling you a whole lot of different stuff you could ';try'; but I don't know for sure and I wouldn't want you to then have 2 ugly smells. Me, I'd probably soak it in white vinegar, or soak it and wash it in woolite and then air it outside or in your bathroom for a few days (if it takes that much time). I have no idea if fabreez would work. If it were white I'd probably be washing it in tide and a tad of bleach. But you can always call the dry cleaners and ask.
    I would put them in a plasic bag along with a nice smellig dryer sheet, leaver them set for a day ot two. Should smell great when your remove them.
    Try Fabreeze in addition to a washing detergent with an odor fighter. Also, dryer sheets when you dry it. You shouldn't have to wash it too many times. Also, you might want to contact the catalog people.
    fabric softner maybe?
    it definitely should go away eventually, i wouldn't suggest washing them over and over cause that will just wear them out before you even get to wear them!!





    try soaking them in warm water and washing powder over night, then put them on a quick wash in your washing machine, that should at least get rid of most of the smell without wearing them out!!








    good luck!!

    What happens if I don't pre-wash a shirt before I put fabric paint on it?

    my daughter and I are making a shirt for her dad for father's day and due to the lack of time and no wash machine at our home I'm just wondering if it's ok not to pre-wash the shirt before we put fabric paint on the shirt. (the instructions say to prewash shirt before applying any paint, but doesn't say why)What happens if I don't pre-wash a shirt before I put fabric paint on it?
    The paint may not stick to the shirt because of the sizing and stuff put on new garments at the factory. The paint COULD wash off when washing.What happens if I don't pre-wash a shirt before I put fabric paint on it?
    They put sizing on the clothes and it may prevent your paint from sticking properly!
    Nothing, I have made plenty shirts and I have never washed them.
    I think it would be okay

    How to wash Viscose fabric?

    Viscose is a close cousin to rayon. Hand wash it, very delicately, rinse it a lot and add some softener to the final rinse. Do not wring, twist or pull on it. It will rip. To dry it, rroll it up in a terry towel and let the towel take the water. Hand to dry and lightly (very lightly) pull on the seams to give it its shape back. It will feel stiff and harsh but as it dries, it will get softer. It helps to put it in the dryer for the last 15 minutes after air drying till almost dry. Iron on medium with steam.

    IS fabric paint suitable for making shirts?will it spread or fade when you wash the shirt?

    Is fabric paint suitable for shirt making?Will it look like it was bought from a shop?coz tthe shirt im gonna make is really important..it needs to look good...


    and will the paint fade or spread when you wash it?Coz Im going to use a white shirt for this...IS fabric paint suitable for making shirts?will it spread or fade when you wash the shirt?
    IGNORE OTHER ANSWERS!


    Fabric painted shirts can look as good if not better than shop bought as long as you plan well, take your time and follow the manufacturers instructions. I suggest you do trial pieces on the same sort of material as the shirt 1st though.


    Hope this helps.IS fabric paint suitable for making shirts?will it spread or fade when you wash the shirt?
    It will work, but no it will not look professional. It will still look home-made. If you want a professional looking shirt you will need to have it screen printed.





    If you need more information on screen printing email me. I took screen printing classes in college. GOOD LUCK!
    no......i have one shirt dat i made myself
    Just be sure to follow the instruction for setting the paint, some paints need to be heat set, some paints don't. I know many artists who paint t-shirts and other clothing and their pieces last for a good long time. If you want your lettering to be as professional as possible, you might want to use a stencil to lightly trace the letters onto the shirt with pencil first and then fill them in. For a picture, draw it on paper, then poke little holes in the paper along the outline and use a light pencil, dots of the paint colour you are using, or one of those fade away tailor's markers in order to get the best and most professional results. Good luck!
