Help! Must be a cheaper solution for BO in clothes?

[troubl3]

Please advise, or am I being unreasonable and should just replace the clothing of my poor teenage daughter!
13yr DD has good hygiene, showers daily, hair wash every couple of days. Always showers after exercise. Uses “proper” deodorant and perfume. She still struggles with BO. It sticks to her clothes after a day of being warm at school, or out with friends. Her school shirts, branded school jumpers, personalised dance uniform, all smell, even after washing. I have tried every product in the supermarket. Am I just going to have to let her smell or do I fork out again for new? AIBU to think there must be a better solution?

Is she able to have a wash and put on fresh deodorant at lunchtime? This is what I gave to do otherwise I can be a BO person.

Dove isn’t actually soap though. It’s a ‘cream bar’ that has not been saponified.

I started using dettol anti bac soap and Mitcham roll on after reading a thread on here. Absolute game changer!

I use a capful of zoflora in the conditioner section, always use powder and not pods etc and was at 40c. Buy her some dettol soap (savers/amazon), and get her to rub sins have sanitiser into her armpits before anti perspirant.

Not rtft but you could try cotton undershirts? I found my husbands polyester blend clothes the worst for smells. What works is soaking in a capful of vinegar and warm water, then washing at 40 for an hour long wash, then line drying outside or hanging up indoors if the weather is bad. Also using ecover fragrance free laundry soap and NO fabric conditioner at all.

Shirts on a 40 wash, spray white vinegar on the pits of them before hand. A tablespoon of bicarb in the drum.
No conditioner/softener.

Wash puts with proper soap and use a cream roll on.

You mean anti perspirant yes NOT deodorant which just masks the smell

I don’t wash sweated in clothes at 30.

I buy a bottle of liquid, biological Ariel purely for pouring direct onto the sweaty pits of gym clothes. I then wash with a tablet as normal. Works really well.

Diluted lemon juice sprayed into the armpit areas before theh gonin the wash is what I used to use when dh went through a phase of this a few years back

40 degree wash, and dry out in the sunshine when possible!

Try 40

I didn’t know this. I also didn’t know ‘saponified’ 😬

40 degrees, use laundry cleanser in every wash (the Dettol one), and Mitchum roll on.

Are you using non-bio washing powder/liquid? Because I had a problem for a while and thought maybe it was peri-menopause for me and teenage hormones for my daughter causing the issue (clothes very quickly smelt of BO despite having just been washed). It was only when my husband complained too that I thought maybe it was the washing tabs. Turns out non-bio works a different way. Bio powder breaks down the bacteria or something. Switched and nothing smelly any more.

Big vote for Fussy deodorant too - doesn’t stop you sweating but it stops any smell like magic, it’s absolutely brilliant! Apparently has good bacteria that stops the bad smelly bacteria and stops all smells. Totally worth the price. Put it on after shower when clean

This is the deo she uses.
we actually have some hibiscrub so will give that a go, whilst I order the bar soap

Washing powder is way better than the tabs or liquid....even the non bio stuff which we have to use due to dd's eczema. Also agree a hotter, longer wash.

Agree that bar soap is best. But check she is washing herself properly as well, DD wasn't but once I talked her through what she needed to do she was fine. TK Maxx is good for nice bars of soap, Ilike the triple milled stuff.

Natural fabrics hold on to smells less than synthetics so use cotton/linen/wool as much as possible and avoid plastics.

Finally, dry your washing on the line, it makes a masive difference to the smell. Dry your clothes inside out (reduces fading by the sun) and remember that the wind is more important than heat or sunshine for drying, if the ground is drying during the day so will your washing. I find I can put washing out from February till November (not every day) and at least partially dry it at those extremes.

No, it doesn't. Take a look at Nancy Birtwhistle online - she is star at stain and smell removal. And, when my deodorant builds up on clothing I make a paste with sodium bicarbonate and work it into the fabric. Even works on the armpit skin.

For DC teen pits I poured a little neat liquid detergent or washing up liquid onto the fabric, left for at least half an hour before washing at 40 degrees.

Wiping the skin with distilled witchazel before applying antiperspirant also helps the pong.

I use tea tree and eucalyptus oils when I need to shift smells and want a more natural cleanser for stains

Have you tried Dr Beckmann’s odour remover? It does the job with my husband’s exercise gear

Ballet company wardrobe mistresses use vodka spray to deodorise tutus and other costumes that cannot be washed.

EDIT - @HostessTrolley beat me to it.

Fussy deo, honestly, look it up and try it. Just buy a refill for a few quid and push it up from the bottom with fingers (this is what I do as a miniature when travelling) as a trial before forking out a tenner for the base. All natural, no aluminum, hands down the best deo I’ve ever used.
