How Can I Get Febreeze Out of Clothing
April 7, 2008 by Debra Lynn Dadd
Question from Michelle
I'm very sensitive to new clothing and have had success using milk to remove chemicals, however, it seems that second hand stores that sell clothing have become dedicated to spraying Febreeze all over them. It has proven very challenging to remove. I have used milk, mustard, soda, borax, vinegar and multiple washings in Biokleen to no avail. Any ideas before I give up altogether?
Debra's Answer
Hanging clothes outside in sunshine is the best, most natural way. Readers have also suggested using vinegar and baking soda.
