So I bought a top shop camo jacket from eBay - it has a very large sequinned back (I intend to wear it to a Taylor Swift concert!)
It arrived today and my god. Overwhelming smell of mildew / fusty / very stale. It's really pretty bad
I took a chance (cos of the sequins) and put it in the machine on a handwash cycle - 20 degrees. With beads and a pod.
No. Still bad.
Tried again with washing powder and a wool cycle - hmm it's perhaps little better but still doesn't smell in any way fresh and clean.
Any tips of how to remove this stench? It smells of mold and mildew but it isn't moldy that I can see at all - it's clearly been stored in a bin bag in a shed or something for years!
