Smelly clothes solution?

Oh yes, there is already. Haven't you seen the new Downy Fabric Conditioner commercial? It says that even if you will have it dried inside your house, it will still smell fragrant.

The only solution I can give to you my friend is using a fabric conditioner. But I recommend that you use Downy attraction, or its 2 other scents. Don't use their regular flavor like antibac. After trying this product I never forget to always buy one as I know that if I didn't use it, all my clothes will stink even if it fresh from clothesline. Their commercial is very true to its word that it is like wearing perfume when you used it.

It is usually for your clothes to give little foul smell when it is damp. The best way to get rid of this is to dry your clothes or to just to hang it spread so that it the dampness gets dried and it stops giving out bad smell.

first, just a background on what our place was.. there is no sunlight.. we live in a condo type apartment and well.. that meant that we have to hang the clothes indoors. but the clothes don't smell. we use fabric conditioner and we use Anti-Bac. its a bit costly than other fab conditioner but it works wonders. make sure though that you have rinsed the clothes well, and have put it in the dryer as well. then after that, you hang it indoors, close to the windows where there could be at least some air.. and that should make it all better. Goodluck!

Hi stuckonu! I have just recently encountered this problem twice already this month! I mean, once last month and once this month. I have my clothes washed every other week and twice there were heavy rains and my clothes did not dry immediately. I did not want to re-wash them so they stayed smelly until I used them again. I use Del as my fabric conditioner and looks like it doesn't work during rainy days when the clothes are dried inside the house, no air, no sun, no everything. I tried to dry them using an electric fan but it was not also effective. I might try the new Downy as suggested by SIMPLYD.

My mother is always using Downy Antibac whether it's rainy season or not and our clothes smells so good. And of course, you should not only depend on Downy or any fabric conditioner, it's in the way we wash our clothes. I remember, my mother has many steps before she hang the clothes. Like "kula" and "tampok". Do you know that?

If there is no sunshine, dry the clothes where the breeze blows freely, there are aromatic washing powders and soap bars available in the market which will make the clothes smell good. There are also advanced washing machines with auto driers. Good perfumes also can help reduce the mildew.

I know what you are talking about have the same problem over here if I have to dry it in my house. Sometimes (winter) it takes 3 days. Also sometimes the clothes seem to smell fresh after washing them but as soon it's start to dry (30-60 min later) I already smell that typicall smell. I do believe it's partly in the clothes as well and that is the problem. What you can do is to wash the clothes with soda (don't know if there is an other English name for it). If you use a washing machine you have to use that in the machine as well. Put it on with the soda, highest temp, no clothes in it. You should do that every month once. Also you can do the machine and your clothes with vinegar. This will take out the "malt" too. Washingpowder I don't find great. I use the soft green soap (very old fashioned). The clothes smell better. The fabric conditioner is not helping at all. I agree with you it sometimes only makes it worse. If it keeps raining I dry the small pieces of clothes on the heath, ironing is a good one too.
