Sweaty smell in wardrobe

7 replies

My teen DS has awful body odour. He showers daily I’m not sure really ! but his wardrobe smells of sweat! His uniform gets washed every day but his blazers and jumpers don’t get washed as often.
Grateful for any tips for making the wardrobe/clothes smell fresh!

White vinegar! I use it on my husband's work shirts, despite him using anti perspirant deodorant a sweaty smell builds up over time. I use white vinegar before a wash. Really kills all the smells.

Also he needs to wash with bar soap. But that wasn't what you asked, sorry!

why bar soap? Are you saying liquid soaps aren’t good enough? Why?

Shower gels are useless. Bar soap is the only thing to use in the shower for a really good clean

Shower gel is used to refresh not clean . Bar of soap to clean and sanitise shower gel after to perfume the body .

basically bar of soap for pits and bits 🤣 then shower gel all over and rinse off . If he is very hormonal go with imperial leather bar .

Have you taught him how to wash thoroughly? Needs to use a bar soap, shower gel blocks the pores. And rinse all the soap off really well. Dry properly and use michum deodorant.

Thanks all. Bar soap it is then!
