How Do I Get A Strong Dye Odor Out Of Black Jeans?
It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to remove unsuitable odors that remain from any of the many chemical treatments practiced on their materials. If a purchased garment has a strong odor that is not removable by washing, then it is the product of a manufacturing defect, and should be returned to the point of purchase for a full refund, just as defective clothing whose dye runs should be returned. If, however, the smell appeared only after you purchased the garment, then you should discard whatever fabric softeners you have been using, as they are the single most likely home source of odor problems. Try a different detergent if necessary, and wash in hot water for most effective washing. After using your washing machine, always leave the door open whenever it is not in use, so that it will stay dry, as the moisture in a closed washing machine will support the growth of unwanted molds and other smelly microorganisms.
