Effective washing machine method for nice odours – and all you need is surprising item – The Mirror
There’s nothing more annoying than your towels coming out of the washing machine with that weird, damp smell. But an expert revealed a surprising item can be the solution you need
We all want our laundry to have a pleasant aroma, but sometimes things don't go as planned.
There's nothing more annoying than your towels emerging from the washing machine with a peculiar, damp odour that so often puts us off. But now, you no longer have to tolerate it.
According to a specialist, a bottle of cheap vodka could be the solution to this problem almost instantly. Alcohol could be the long-awaited answer to keeping your towels free from bad smells And the best part is – the cheaper the vodka, the better.
A TikTok video by Twisselman Trading Co. showcased this unconventional yet effective technique. The caption explained: "Vodka is a simple choice because it is high in alcohol content and it is odourless and colourless."
It seems worth trying for sweet-smelling clothes, and all you need is a little cheap booze.
Jennifer Shaw, an expert at Plumbworld, explained how the method works. She stated: "Vodka is a great disinfectant.
"It's known for its ability to kill bacteria and neutralise odours, which is why it’s effective in eliminating musty smells from towels.
"The process is simple. Just add a small amount of vodka – about a cup – directly into the washing machine along with your regular detergent. The alcohol evaporates during the washing and drying process, leaving no residue or smell behind."
Jennifer assured that using vodka in your wash won't damage your towels or your washing machine, adding: "The washing process gets rid of the alcohol so there’s no need to worry. Sometimes the best solutions are the ones you least expect."
