Underwear smells of new washing detergent

[BlueOceanWave]

I bought a new washing detergent and my clothes are washed and dried now. All my clothes smell of the new detergent including my underwear. Would these be OK to wear or should I wash them again in my usual detergent powder. In case I develop itch from the smell.

Of course they’ll be okay to wear

WTF do you normally wash your drawers in, rainwater?

All washing smells It’s just you get used to your smell.

Thanks for all for the replies. LOL at the rainwater

This is the strangest question I've ever read on MN.

Washing detergent leaves a "clean" smell.

Surely this isn't the first time you've noticed that freshly washed clothes smell clean?

I'm a bit tipsy and reread your OP. So it's a new detergent - you're just noticing a different smell to your usual detergent.

I completely get this! Are you worried the detergent hasn’t washed off properly? So it may cause itching etc. If this is the case I’d rinse them in plain water.

Or have I read it completely wrong

DarklisAndlsa That made me laugh.

Surely it's unicorn tears at the very least?

Eh? What do you want it to smell of?

This reminds me of that thread the other day where the OP was asking if it was okay to store mayonnaise in the fridge before the jar had been opened.

It should be fine. You’re probably only noticing it because it’s a new smell.
If you do feel any irritation, maybe change your detergent to non-bio one.
