    Because there is a lot of dust on the clothes, it will soon mildew when it encounters water, so it will smell If the temperature is low, it will be better, if it is in the summer, the smell will be greater, and the problem is the problem of laundry detergent. Why do you say that, you look at the current river, how polluted it is, people used to wash and pull the river water for hundreds of years, and it didn't smell in just a few decadesIn the process of drying, bacteria grow, and then it will have a taste, which is the same as a rancid meal. In this case, it is better to wash it again, preferably with hot water.

    Wash it again and dry it in a net or in the shade, remember, you can't use a hanger to dry this type of garment.

    This happens to cotton clothes, and I think there should be no other way than to go to the sewing shop to cut off the sleeves and change the sleeves!

    You're washing a sweater, right? Find a mesh bag and stuff it in first, and then spread it out to dry when the moisture is almost out.

    That's right, but remember not to use a hanger when you dry your clothes, don't wring them after washing, and spread them flat in a drying basket to dry!! Don't forget!

    Soaking in warm water, cotton fabrics shrink more when exposed to water (the shrinkage rate of all fabrics ranks first), so this method is effective.

    The temperature starts at 40 degrees, and I still feel that the clothes are too big to increase to 50 degrees.

    Don't hang it anymore when you are drying. It's time to spin dry, shake it, and then dry it when there is not much moisture.

    Because most clothes contain cellulose and structural proteins in their raw materials, which can be broken down by fungi, and moist clothes have plenty of moisture and energy sources, making them easy to grow fungiIt also decomposes the cellulose and structural proteins on the clothing, and produces the taste of structural protein degraders, which makes the clothing smelly and sometimes even moldy.

    If the material of the clothing is synthetic synthetic fiber, it will rarely breed fungi and produce taste, because synthetic synthetic chemical fiber clothing is not easy to be degraded.

    Other reasons. 1. The clothes are not cleaned, and they are not taken out of the washing machine in time after washing, and the fungus in the washing machine breeds and adheres to the clothes, making the clothes easy to smell.

    2. The clothes that have not been dried are put into the wardrobe with a relatively damp taste, which makes a large number of fungi breed and cause the clothes to stink.

    3. Wash clothes in low temperature weather or cloudy weather, dry clothes only by air circulation, and hang them in a fuller wardrobe, resulting in odor and even mold.

    Solution: In rainy weather, it is difficult to dry the clothes coolly, even if you can barely dry in the shade, the clothes will have a peculiar smell, in this case, spray the whole clothes with freshener, and then turn the iron to the lowest setting, and slowly iron the clothes evenly.

    Add a spoonful of white vinegar and a glass of milk to clean water, then put in smelly clothes, soak for about ten minutes, and finally wash them with water, and there will be no taste after drying.

    Basking in a sunny place, coupled with air circulation, can remove the odor. Use the hot air of a hair dryer for fifteen minutes, which will also remove the odor. If there is still a peculiar smell when drying, you can put a sachet between the folded clothes and the clothes to remove the odor.

    On rainy days, the air is more humid and of poor quality, and there will be mist gases floating in the air, and in such weather, these foggy gases will dissolve into the clothes, and in this case, the clothes will smell after a long time of drying.

    This is because the moisture adheres to the clothes for a long time, it will produce a certain musty smell, it is generally recommended that when washing clothes, you can add some white vinegar and almost 200 ml of milk to the water, after soaking for ten minutes, the musty smell on the clothes can be adsorbed by vinegar and milk, and there is no need to rinse with water again.

    Rinse clean and thoroughly.

    It is best not to dry in the shade.

    Washed clothes are not easy to dry and often have an unpleasant musty smell. You can add two spoonfuls of white vinegar and half a bag of milk to the clean water in the laundry tub, soak the clothes in this specially blended laundry water for 10 minutes, let the vinegar and milk absorb the musty smell on the clothes, and then rinse, wash, rub, rub, knead, and finally wash with clean water, and the musty smell will be gone.

    If you're in a hurry to get out of the house and don't have time to use this method to get rid of the musty smell, you can also try the method of using a hair dryer to get rid of the musty smell

    Hang up your clothes, set your hair dryer on a cold windshield and blow on your clothes for 10 15 minutes to let the wind take away the musty smell of your clothes, and then you can safely put it on and go out.

    The reason why your clothes don't have this unpleasant smell in time is because you haven't really washed your clothes, and the mold attached to your clothes has multiplied, expelling acidic substances and producing odors. In order to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria and reduce their direct harm to humans, we should choose laundry detergents containing active oxygen species.

    For the sterilization of clothes, we usually use ultraviolet light to sterilize them, but the effect is not obvious in places where the sun does not shine. Reactive oxygen species sterilization destroys the cell membrane of bacteria with super oxidation force, thereby inactivating bacteria, because active oxygen water can penetrate into every corner of clothing, so there will be no sterilization dead ends, so that clothes have no peculiar smell even if they are used in the shade.

    1. Reasons. 1. I didn't wash it clean, and I didn't take it out of the washing machine in time after washing.

    2. I didn't get the sun and didn't dry it in time.

    3. If the laundry detergent is a problem, you can smell the laundry detergent first, if it is stinky, it proves that it is a problem with the laundry detergent.

    4. The temperature is relatively high in summer, which is easy for bacteria to multiply quickly.

    Bacteria need a water environment to multiply, and the phosphorus in laundry detergent also provides good living conditions for bacteria.

    Bacteria grow in the water environment of wet clothes and produce some metabolites. Many secondary metabolites are smelly, so clothes stink.

    It is easy for mold to attach to clothes under the damp environment for a long time, and mold will multiply on the clothes due to the influence of temperature, and mold will also discharge acidic substances. When the mold reaches a certain level, the acidity will also increase, and the temperature will rise when you wear it, which will cause the clothes to smell.

    First, the laundry detergent or liquid is overdosed, second, the laundry detergent or liquid has not been really cleaned, third, it is due to the dense clothes of the drying rack resulting in poor ventilation, and fourth, the whole local environment is affected by the rain due to rain, and now in this society, the pollution environment is too bad, and the polluting gases in the air follow the rain when it rains.

    1. Reasons for the surrounding environment. The fiber has many pores, and the adsorption performance is excellent, and the voids are released after washing, and once there is a peculiar smell around it, it will be adsorbed, and the clothes have an unpleasant smell after drying.

    2. If the rinse is not clean, it will also lead to odor.

    3. Water quality problems, because there are rust or other impurities in the water, will leave a smell on the clothes, in this case, you can only change the water source.

    4. When the clothes are dried, they are not fully opened, and they are in a relatively closed space, which will cause the clothes to become rancid, which will have a particularly large smell, and even in a space with high temperature and greater humidity, such as the bathroom, it may also lead to moldy clothes. In this case, the garment must be completely dried in a well-ventilated area, or directly under the sun.
