Faced with a pet mess or smelly clothing? The Laundress has a solution for you! When combating body odor from cottons and linens, presoak the item in a basin of hot water mixed with 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative. For silks and woolens, apply Scented Vinegar directly to the odor areas and work it into the fabric. Then presoak the garment in a bath of tepid water and ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar for no longer than 30 minutes. From there, finish with your normal washing process for the garment. Repeat as needed.

What about how to remove odor from clothing soiled by pets? Our Scented Vinegar works to eliminate pet odors, too. Follow the pretreat and presoak regimen outlined above, being sure to target the odorous areas. When soaking the garment, you should add ¼ cup of white vinegar (Scented Vinegar) into the water. After 30 minutes, wash your garment as usual. The pet odor should be fully removed at the end of this process! If not, repeat this protocol as needed. Be sure to have plenty of white vinegar on hand!
