Best Answer

Clothing is made of various 'fabrics', which are porous materials that can absorb or adsorb body fluids such as perspiration, blood and urine. Over time, those fluids deteriorate when exposed to air, and give off an odor. Clothing can also gain an 'odor' from being dry cleaned with a chemical called 'perk', which reacts with perfumes and deodorants to create an odor that is unpleasant.

How do you get rid of foot odor?

Getting rid of foot odor is hard once it gets bad, but my mother used these to get rid of her foot odor: *Keep your feet clean! Cleanliness kills the bacteria that causes odor. *Keep your feet dry! Socks made of cotton are best to absorb sweat and moisture. *Stay away from garlic, onions, curries, chilis, and alcohol. These can cause foot odor, as well as bad breath.
