How do I get the smell out of my jacket?
Help! This weekend I attended a rather raucous festival in an outdoor biergarten and I was spilled upon several times. This being February in snowy Wisconsin, I wore my good ski jacket to the beer-fest event. The jacket is a typical ski jacket, with a wind-proof, water-proof outer shell. The inner shell doesn't smell. It's just the outside. I have washed it once and it still wreaks like stale beer. Does anyone have any good suggestions of how to remove said stench from a ski jacket? The jacket is machine-washable, so if you know of any good detergents, please enlighten me. Tide does not work. The beer that was spilled on me was mostly of the doppelbock (very strong in both alcohol content and odor) variety, if that helps you with your answer.
Two words:
Vinegar
Baking Soda
First, wash the jacket on the longest wash cycle you can. No "mini-wash" or anything like that. Also make sure you wash other items with the jacket so it gets fully agitated and pushed down into the water.
Use the regular amout of Tide, then add 4 cups of white vinegar to the wash water and then in the rinse cycle add 2 cups of vinegar.
There should be a slight vinegar smell after it comes out of the washer. Don't dry it.
Put it immediately back in the wash, regular amount of Tide, blah, blah, blah but this time add 2 cups of baking soda to the wash water.
Put it on a long wash and a double rinse and then the smell should be gone.
At least it works with my jackets when I wear them to our cabin...and the deep smoky smell gets set in...and the booze is a' flyin' there too!
Good luck. But what a better way to ruin a jacket! LOL.
Also, even if it's cold where you are. You can try hanging the coat in the sun after it's been washed and dried. The sun is a natural deodorizer. Keep it out there for hours on a sunny day.
