Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 --My doctors say to have them dry cleaned twice preferably at a cleaner who uses natural process. You want to destroy the cause not just the smell.

I've heard that Febreze is useful for removing such odors, but my supermarket stocks so many different variations of this product that I'm not sure which one to use. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully used this or any other product on their clothes, along with any tips for their proper use. Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Whats the odor anyway - you mean youd rather douoe clothing in chemical fragrance than just hang it in sunlight for a while. Really, think about it! Obviously your system works to remove these chemicals - I go near fabreeze and my brain is gone- my chest is on fire for hours, and my throat closes. Id definately say, alternative... and not necessarily product, just airing out!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Apparently, you don't udnerstand that one chemical does not replace another chemical via masking. If you detect a SLIGHT odor then you will be doused in fragrance by fabreeze. Try applyin baking soda on the garment and let it bake out in the sun. IF it can be washed, wash it in powdered milk COLD WATER with baking skda 4-5 times. GO buy some liquid zeolite and spray it.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 What is natural dry cleaning? Is it more expensive? I try now not to buy anything that needs dry cleaning. As Febreeze, my opinion is don't buy it nor use it. I can't stand their commericials either. Just spray chemicals all over things like that will help and around animals too. Masking a smell doesn't get rid of how it got there originally. It's still there and you are still breathing it along with more chemicals. Reminds me of someone telling me to spray Lysol under my house for my mold. LOL Scary........Lysol has a warning hazardous to humans and animals if that tells us anything... I haven't followed all the post about this but think it was a jacket that smells. I'd get rid of it and not to Goodwill either if contaminated by mycotoxins. I washed every clothing garment I owned and wiped down all shoes after hepa vaccuming them. But now I'm wearing them right back into a toxic workplace...All clothes get washed but I have not wiped down all the shoes daily.
