Sweating is natural, but the lingering odors it leaves on clothes can be frustrating. Even after washing, those smells often persist.
Luckily, as laundry experts with years of experience helping households tackle tough stains and odors, we've found a reliable, natural solution: soaking clothes in hot water with baking soda. Here's how it works.
1. Fill a basin with hot water.
2. Add at least 100g of baking soda generously.
3. Soak your garment for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4. Transfer the garment to your washing machine.
5. Add your detergent.
6. Place two tablespoons of baking soda in the fabric softener compartment.
7. Run the wash cycle.
Your clothes emerge odor-free and fresh-smelling. This method is quick, effective, and ideal for sportswear, shirts, suits, and coats.
For very strong odors, extend the soak to overnight.
Baking soda excels at absorbing and neutralizing odor-causing molecules, unlike many commercial products that merely mask smells. It breaks them down completely, leaving your laundry truly clean.
