Clean clothes should emit a light, barely noticeable scent of freshness, not odors of tobacco, sweat, food, or smoke.
Sometimes even washed clothes that have been stored in a closet for a long time can smell musty.
There are three simple methods that can help eliminate unpleasant odors without washing.
The first method is to hang the clothes on the balcony or in a room next to an open window. This is a well-known method, but it is not always effective.
Vodka and Water
This alcoholic beverage effectively neutralizes the bacteria that cause unpleasant odors and leaves no traces after drying. For this, you need to pour vodka (1/3) into a spray bottle and dilute it with water. Then spray the clothes and hang them on the balcony for better effect.
Freezer
Cold effectively eliminates unpleasant odors. For this, the item is placed in a bag and sent to the freezer for a few hours. After that, it should be taken out and warmed up with an iron, radiator, or in the sun to enjoy the absence of the foul smell.
Cat Litter
The granules designed to mask odors from a cat's litter box can also tackle mustiness or smoke smells. Some housewives place a bag of litter in the closet to absorb unpleasant odors. For better effect, a few drops of essential oil can be added to the bag.
