How to remove smoke odor from clothes: a popular product that is always at hand will help

The smell of smoke impregnates the fabric and simple airing will not help to get rid of it. Detergents can't always cope with this problem, so you need to wash your clothes right away and not wait for the smell to disappear by itself.

OBOZ.UA has found an effective life hack that will help you get rid of smoke without any extra effort. To do this, you need only one natural ingredient that is available in every kitchen.

Baking soda

Baking soda is a natural odor neutralizer. The mixture will not only help to remove stubborn stains or unpleasant odors from the refrigerator but also cope with such a common problem.

You should act immediately if you smell smoke on your clothes to prevent the fabric from becoming even more saturated. Load the clothes into the washing machine and add a cup of baking soda to the drum or detergent compartment. Don't forget to add detergent.

Turn on the appropriate mode. Then dry the clothes outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.

If the odor remains after the first wash, repeat the procedure.

You can also use baking soda to get rid of musty odors. Dissolve half a cup of baking soda in a bowl of warm water, soak the clothes for 30 minutes, and then dry them. You don't even have to use a washing machine.
