this item removes odors from the air but will not directly remove odors from the clothes but will help prevent the closet from smelling musty.

If the clothes are sweaty, I'd wash them. This unit is for freshening the air. I use mine to reduce odors from shoes and dirty laundry in my closet. I also have one in my cat's litter box area.

Yes. Not instantly, but after a few hours or overnight has worked for me. It works well to freshen clothes. I place it close to the garment and open buttons or zippers to air can flow around the unit and the garment to where odors are. In my experiencen, the closet purifer helps keep odors from transferring to other clothes in a closet, too.

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

Yes it does eliminate odors and has a fresh clean smell afterwards! I use it on everything! I love it!! Even removes stains on clothes! (All I ever use anymore) Lambert Kay also has a product... Lambert Kay Fresh 'n Clean Deodorizing Upholstery and Fabric Refresher for Pets, 24oz (Pack of 2) you can also purchase thru Amazon ($13.98)...But I haven't tried this product yet. Hope this helps you out!

It should. I had it take out sweat/oil collar stains from both my husbands Navy white uniforms (cotton) and my son's white paramedic shirts (synthetic blend). Depending on how long the stains have been there, it may take more then one use. I have been using this product for years.

I assume doing that would eliminate existing odors. I spray it nearly everywhere.

not really. After buffing, the smell should disapate in couple hours.I find the most odor stays in the house from the applicator and rags used. put them outside.

Yes. You can use it on clothing or other fabric, although if you are cleaning something delicate, I would try a spot-test too. That said, if something smells like rat pee, I guess there's no way to ruin it further. :-) Good luck!

It may for very mild odors, but not at all for moderate or strong odors. I tested on a top that I had worn without deodorant and had some underarm odor and it did not take out or even reduce the odor (and I REALLY steamed it). Infact it seemed to take out the fragrance from my soap/lotion that was previously mixed in with the sweat so that I could smell the sweat even more distinctly after steaming! To test how it works on strong odors, I tried on a worn sock (not that anyone would ever want to steam out a sock, but..) and again, it did not remove the odor and I also didn't notice any reduction in the odor. The sock in particular was not a fun experiment, but now you know. It may for very mild odors, but not at all for moderate or strong odors.

This often happens when there is a buildup of detergent in the clothes, meaning too much has been used over the course of time. Here's what I do when my clothes and cloth diapers get a "wet dog" smell: run an extra rinse after washing and smell them again. Still stinky? Run another rinse. It will go away when the detergent buildup washes out. And in the future, use LESS detergent per wash than you currently are. It actually takes very little detergent to clean things! :)

It lets off small amounts of ozone "good for odors, bacteria, and drying the air" so yes will get rid of and "bleach" odors from the air. It has negatively charged metal filters that particulates stick to, which it uses negative ions for which actually makes any particles that escape get very heavy and attract other particulates then fall to the ground rather quickly. so in other words-Yes it will get rid of the second hand smoke from the clothes, make them smell freshly laundered, no stale or unfresh scent, and bacteria + bugs= non-existent!

Well....to be honest, I'm not sure. I used it on an old pair of running shoes, to get the stink out. It reduced to smell but didn't remove it completely. I was going to try it again but don't have a lot of faith that it will completely remove the odor.

This one seemed to be more effective for cat urine. I am not sure about mildew or laundry. The general might be more appropriate for those uses.

Vinegar in the rinse cycle can do many things - preserve the color, act as fabric softener, and help stop things like pet hair from clinging. I use it especially on dark fabrics and have no need for fabric softener or dryer sheets anymore. Oh and you won't smell it on your dry clothes at all. You don't have to use the vinegar, detergent alone will get the job done but I prefer adding vinegar.

Hi, I think this product is a "must have". I get odors out of my husband's dirty work clothes that may have been in a laundry bags for a couple of weeks. Yuck! Also, I've bought second hand tshirts that the febreeze laundry got the staleness/old bo out of without a hint of leftover. I think it would remove strong perfume smells. For the price, it's certainly worth a try :)

I have not used this product for such purpose, but I feel it would be effective.Soaking the clothes in a low solution for perhaps an hour before adding to thewash. Rinsing first is not necessary.

I use "shout" for laundry. Advantage takes spots out of rugs, cleans counters etc.The label says it can remove any dirt from anything with the correct strength. So it should be safe for clothes - 1 part advantage to 5 parts water. Or something like that.

I don't use this for my regular laundry much, just cloth diapers. I use it to remove detergent and ammonia build up and it works like a dream. It does a great job on my white towels but was not able to get old dingy marks that get left behind the hand towels. Honestly, your best bet would be to fill a squirt bottle with half lemon juice half white vinegar 9% if you can get it, and spray the spots all over saturating them and set them in direct sunlight all day maybe even 2 days. Then was again with detergent and oxyclean. if you have hard water and you don't treat it, be sure to add calgon or just 1/4 C regular salt. That should get out the sweat stains. This works on pit stains in undershirts as well.
