How to get Mildew Smell Out of Clothes with OdoBan?
Musty odors on laundry can be a seriously stinky problem, especially when those strong musty mildew odors latch onto your clothes and towels.
that musty smell is usually caused by mildew, a fungus, and a type of mold And this fungus isn’t just smelly- it can be hazardous to your health.
musty smell on fabrics is typically the result of stinky mildew byproducts.
These byproducts include spores and other MVOCs, or microbial volatile organic compounds.
According to the US EPA, the health effects are still largely unknown, but exposure to MVOCs has been linked to serious symptoms like headaches and nausea. As mildew grows on fabric, it releases these stinky organic compounds into the air, resulting in the tangy, earthy aroma you know as a musty smell.
You’ve probably encountered that musty mildew smell on a damp swimsuit or towel left out after a day at the pool, or maybe on a laundry load that sat for too long in the washer. No matter where it came from,
let’s cover how to get rid of that musty stink.
Here are some things you should do to prevent musty odors from happening in the first place:
- Never leave damp clothes towels out in warm, unventilated areas. Heated spaces with little airflow are ideal places for mold and mildew growth.
That’s why laundry left in the washer can turn stinky, and why it’s a good idea to dry clothes as soon as you’re done washing them.
- dirty clothes hampers are another place where mildew loves to grow.
if it’s going to be a few days before you get to the laundry,
spray your clothes or towels with OdoBan before you toss them in the hamper. But if your clothes already smell like mildew:
- It’s probably no surprise that a stinky washing machine can contribute to stinky laundry.
we recommend regularly cleaning the exterior rubber gaskets on your washing machine, since these can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew, especially on a front-loading washing machine.
Simple spray these surfaces down with OdoBan and wipe clean to prevent buildup and odors.
If your washing machine still smells funny, a full machine cleaning may be necessary.
If mildew odors are already on your clothes,
let’s talk about
How to get rid of musty smells for good with OdoBan?
First, a quick note about vinegar. Vinegar is shown in a lot of how-tos, but it’s not a great solution for getting rid of the mildew smell. Why?
Because the acetic acid in vinegar is very similar to the smelly MVOCs that mildew makes in the first place.
So here’s a better way.
To get rid of stubborn musty odors on clothes:
first, you need to remove the mildew living on your fabric’s surface. Washing clothes and towels can typically remove those lingering mold particles.
Step 1. Wash those musty clothes in your washing machine on an extended cycle using warm or hot water, depending on the color and type of fabric.
- Use your normal laundry detergent, but don’t use too much.
- You don’t want to leave residue on the fabric that can trap in those musty odors.
- Avoid using fabric softener for the same reason. Plus, the fabric softener can trap those bad odors in your washing machine itself.
- let the load run as normal, but add one cup of OdoBan concentrate to the final rinse.
- if you have a fabric softener dispenser on the machine
- simply fill it with OdoBan and the machine will handle it for you.
- transfer those washed clothes to the dryer immediately and dry them thoroughly. Or if it’s a sunny, dry day, you can always hang them outside on the line.
- don’t let those damp clothes sit. When they’re completely dry, the smell should be gone for good!
