Fed Up With Foul Smelling Clothes?

Fed Up With Foul Smelling Clothes?


Do you store your cool weather clothes away during summer?  If so, this can help!


Clothes with a musty smell can usually be taken care of by using one of these common household products.



  • Baking soda

  • White vinegar

  • Borax


Just fill your washing machine with clothes, hot water and your normal detergent. Once full, pour a cup of your selected product in and agitate to ensure it’s mixed properly. You can use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, a half cup each.


For best results dry the clothes outside. A sunny breezy day is best. A place that gets both wind and sun is ideal.


Keep in mind, if your clothes smell musty it’s because of mold. Our team at SERVPRO are here to help
