Stinky raincoat

[Salvora]

Hi,

I need help to remove sweat smell from a raincoat.

It's 100% polyester on the outside and the lining is viscose and AC(?). It's dry-clean only.

It's been twice to the dry-cleaner abut the smell wont go away!

I don't want to throw it away because it's in good condition and because I can't really afford another one.

Any idea of what I might be able to do to remove the smell?

Thanks.

if it's been cleaned, what does it smell of? Fags? Sweat? Mould?

oops, soory, you said sweat.

Maybe turn it inside out and hang it on the line on a sunny day?

Spray with Febreze?

Thanks for your answers.

I have thought about using a fabric deodoriser, but I do wonder if that's likely to leave a water mark that I won't be able to remove.

I just don't know. I know this is made of polyester, viscose and acryllic (so not silk). But since it says dry-cleaning only (so not washing with water), I wonder if it's wise to spray on it. I wouldn't want to make the problem worse.

I would just wash it - on a low heat....

I'd put it in the machine on a delicate/handwash programme with biological liquid. Don't use fabric conditioner as that will stop it being so waterproof.
