Why is it so hard to get certain smells from fabric?

636 views

I don’t really understand what a smell even is because if it’s just tiny particles, why can’t it wash out? Why does it remain so strong? How can certain ones like mildew, urine, skunk etc. be so incredibly resistant to most soaps and detergents we use?

I dont know why you cant get them out. I dont know how large particles are for certain things

But if you throw in maybe 1/2 cup -1 cup give or take depending on size in load of vinegar in with the laundry load you can get a lot of smells out. Especially mold and sweat.
