Will febreeze take out that underarm odor from my shirts?

Question

even if i wash my shirts they still have a bad smell to them so dont just say try washing them

Answer 1

Try 100% cotton clothes, Alex. Your body rejects synthetic fabrics, hence the smell. Use a good deodorant and the problem is gone.  

Answer 2

Try a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.

Answer 3

No Fabreeze will not help in this situation.  You should pretreat the armpits of  your shirts before washing and scrub the areas a bit to work the detergent in.  Then let them soak for 20 minutes before washing.  You might want to add a little baking soda to your wash water as well.

Answer 4

Things You’ll Need:

Bowl for mixing

Water

Baking soda

Laundry detergent

Washing machine

Step1

Wash the clothing in cold water with your normal detergent. Do not dry.

Step2

Make a thick paste from baking soda and water. There's no real science to this. Just make it thick enough so it's not runny yet thin enough to spread.

Step3

Lay your shirt out, flat on a towel.

Step4

Spread a thick layer of baking soda on both underarm areas of the shirt.

Step5

Let the shirt dry--with the paste on it--for at least 24 hours.

Step6

Rewash the shirt as you normally would.

Step7

Dry as normal and then wear free of smell.

Don't worry about purchasing brand name baking soda. The generic equivalent will be fine.



The longer you let your shirt sit with the paste, the better the result you'll have.

Answer 5

cologne with pheremones in it

Answer 6

Try soaking the whole shirt in a bucket of water with about 1/2 cup of baking soda.  Make sure the baking soda is well dissolved before putting the shirts in. Start with warm water, it makes it easier to dissolve the baking soda.  Soak for about an hour, sloshing the shirts around a couple of times.  Then just dump shirts and water into the washer, and add your detergent, proceed as usual for washing.
