Will white vinegar remove under arm smell from clothes washed in cold water with detergent in the washing machine?

If you google vinegar and clothes (or even body odor) you will see many links on the subject. I use vinegar for several things - including removing body odor from under arms of clothes. Spray vinegar directly on the clothes under arms and let it dry (for potent smells). The next day -wash regularly. I have also rescued some suits that can only be dry cleaned with vinegar - spray it under the arms as well & let it dry out. The smell eventually dissipates. You can also toss 1 cup of vinegar in with a regular load of laundry to keep it fresh (use detergent too).


You washed your chapstick and it left a stain in your clothes How can you get rid of the stain?

If the stained clothes went through the wash, some of the staining may not come out. If there is any waxiness, start by scraping off as much chapstick as you can without damaging the fabric. Then rub both sides of the stain with detergent and wash it in hot water.


How do you get the sour smell out of you'r clothes?

Often pre-soaking the load with an oxygen or enzyme based product before washing regularly will remove the smell. Some products you may want to try are Clorox 2 or Oxy-Clean. They have both worked well for me in the past.
