does the smell of sweat on clothes persist even after the washing machine? here’s how to fix it!

How many times have you simply washed your clothes, dried them and still smell the smell of sweat coming from the armpit area? I guess often!

Sometimes, in fact, especially during the summer, excess sweat tends to be so soaked into the shirts that our clothes don’t even stop washing.

So what to do? Fortunately, we know some home remedies that can come to your rescue to get rid of the smell of sweat from your clothes! Let’s see them together.

Sodium bicarbonate
The first remedy can only be sodium bicarbonate , which is able to neutralize bad odors and degrease and whiten our clothes.

So you just have to mix three tablespoons of baking soda with water in a thin stream until you get a kind of pasty mixture . At this point, rub it into the armpit area and leave it for a few hours or overnight.

Finally, proceed to wash it by hand or in the washing machine and you will notice that the smell of sweat will be nothing more than a bad memory!

white vinegar

Like baking soda, vinegar is also known for its deodorizing properties and, therefore, is often used to eliminate bad odors from clothes but also towels.

To use it, pour two tablespoons of white vinegar directly onto the area of ​​the head where the smell of sweat is concentrated, then leave it to act for about 20 minutes.

At this point, proceed to wash the garment normally in the washing machine, also adding a spoonful of vinegar to the drum of the washing machine for a more effective effect!

NB There seems to be a long debate that vinegar could have a polluting effect on the environment. In any case, it is always preferable to commercially available detergents.

Lemon
After baking soda and vinegar, we can’t fail to mention lemon, the citrus fruit known for its many properties and especially for its intoxicating, all-natural scent, which can also eliminate bad odors in the bathroom!

Simply pour the juice of three squeezed lemons into a bowl of cold water and then immerse the garment in it. At this point, let it soak for 30 minutes, then rinse the garment and dry it: goodbye to stinky sweat!

NB We do not recommend using this remedy on dark clothes, as the bleaching function of lemon could discolor them.

salt
But the pantry ingredients that can come to your rescue to remove the smell of sweat from your clothes are not over here, since we must also mention salt, known for its absorbent function. Unsurprisingly, it is used to absorb excess moisture in the house!

Then mix half a cup of table salt and a bowl of warm water, then pour the resulting mixture into the armpit area of ​​the garment. Then, let it sit for about half an hour and proceed to machine or hand wash.

Rosemary
This may seem like a strange trick, but it seems to work very well: rosemary, which is able to perfume and eliminate bad odors from clothes.
