Do strong perfume smells seem to stick around on your clothes even after you’ve worn them?
You’re not alone!
Many people struggle with getting rid of perfume odors that linger in fabric. Don’t worry, there’s an easy solution.
Best Solution: Use Baking Soda, Quickly
The best way to remove stubborn perfume smells is to act fast and use baking soda. Baking soda is great for soaking up and getting rid of tough odors from clothes.
Steps To Follow:
Here are the simple steps to remove the smell of perfumes from clothes:
As soon as you notice the perfume smell, take the clothes out of your closet or dresser. The longer the smell stays, the harder it is to remove.
Sprinkle a good amount of baking soda all over the smelly areas of the clothing.
Let the baking soda sit on the clothes for several hours or overnight if possible. The longer it stays, the better it works.
After waiting, shake off any extra baking soda from the clothes.
If the perfume odor is still there, you can repeat the baking soda step or wash the clothes with a mild soap and extra baking soda.
So, baking soda will help get rid of those lingering perfume smells leaving your clothes smelling fresh.
More Tips
Baking soda is the star for removing odors from either your dirty socks or perfumed shirts, but here are some other tricks:
- Hang smelly clothes outside in the sun and fresh air
- Add white vinegar to the wash cycle
- Put charcoal bags in your closet to absorb odors
- Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a nice light scent
The best way to avoid stuck-on perfume smells is to not spray too much perfume directly on clothes. Be careful storing perfumes to prevent spills too. BTW, this only happens when you buy original perfumes, instead of fake ones.
