Odo-Ban is a wonderful (and to my mind, necessary) additive to every wash load. It's a liquid and Home Depot carries it in their cleaning supplies aisle. A couple of ounces in every wash cycle does an amazing job of eliminating body odor as well as that funky, musty, "dirty dishrag" smell clothes can get in a high-humidity environment. I wouldn't wash without it! Oh, and it doesn't give your clothes that overpowering, artificial, chemically flowery smell some of those detergents and add-in granules do! My DIL turned me on to it when she was studying for her RN degree, and was doing a rotation in a nursing home - they used it in every load of laundry there, she said. I've used it ever since. Nobody reeks in my house, lol!

We use it for when one of the pigs has an accident and it's got a peppery smell. I would not want that in my laundry.

Soap and a regular bathing cycle is probably way more effective and healthy?

It comes in different scents. I prefer the eucalyptus but there are others. Since it goes in the wash cycle you can't smell it when the laundry is done, it rinses out in the rinse cycle. By then it has done its job of deodorizing. Like I said, you only use an ounce or two in the wash cycle.

Bathing only washes your body. If your kids take off their wet, sweaty gym uniform and throw it on the floor, then throw a wet bath towel and other dirty clothes on top of it and leave it marinating for a week ... their laundry is not going to smell sweet even if they bathe every day.

That's what the Lysol bomb is for. Puncture that can, toss it in, and shut the door.

I've actually been able to say that line pretty frequently ... not that many middle-schoolers actually understand it ...

Our laundry detergent here smells bad too. It sticks to the clothes. The water here is terrible too.

It's not really the clothes that are doing it. I think it's some cosmetic product said person uses. I'm not sure which ones stink but it was so bad yesterday that I could smell it six feet away.

I think that may smell better than whatever that smell is.

Change the shipping address to mine. It'll get there faster.

Oh yes, and remember to get super excited about IP68 waterproofing.

Gah. There are reasons that strong scents are forbidden in most work settings.

There was a time when my across the street neighbour (the good one) went on a trip and had his nephew house sit. This nephew had a girlfriend. Her perfume was so strong I could smell her from the door of my greenhouse, which was easily 100' away from her.
