Hello, tank top lovers! We all know that feeling of slipping on our favorite sleeveless shirt, only to be hit with a wave of unpleasant odors. Whether it's from sweating, poor ventilation, or something else entirely, an odorous tank top can be a major buzzkill.
But worry not! With a little bit of know-how, you can prevent odors from ever making their way into your sexy tank tops, and keep your wardrobe smelling fresh and clean all season long.
In this blog post, we'll be sharing our top tips for keeping odors at bay, so you can focus on feeling cool, comfortable, and confident in your favorite tank tops. Let's dive in!
What Makes Your Favorite Tank Tops Smell Bad?
Have you ever noticed a foul smell coming from your tank tops, even after you've washed them? There are several reasons why a woman's tank top may develop an unpleasant odor.
No doubt, the culprit for such an unpleasant smell is sweat. When you sweat, your body releases moisture that can get trapped in the fabric of your tank top. This can create a warm and moist environment, which is perfect for bacteria to grow.
Bacteria thrive in warm, damp places, and they can produce an unpleasant odor as they break down the sweat on your skin. Sweat is also acidic, which can contribute to the growth of bacteria.
Therefore, we can conclude that our skin is home to millions of bacteria, and some of these can contribute to body odor. The bacteria that cause odor are typically found in areas where there are many sweat glands, such as your back part.
When you sweat, these bacteria can multiply and produce an unpleasant smell. Bacteria can also transfer from your skin to the fabric of your tank top, where they can continue to grow and produce odor.
Improper washing can also cause a funky smell to happen. Without proper and careful washing, sweat and bacteria can build up in the fabric at their fastest speed.
For example, if you wear a sexy women tank top to work out and then leave it in a gym bag for several days, bacteria can multiply and create a strong odor. Be sure to wash your tank tops frequently and according to the care instructions on the label.
How to Get Smells Out of Tank Tops
With the improved knowledge of what causes our tank tops to smell odorous, it is imperative that we now take action to eliminate it, hopefully permanently, as soon as possible.
THANK GOD, THE ODOR IS NOT THAT STUBBORN!
There are some resistless odors that can be removed using a machine-free, time-saving, and non-chemical approach to keep your tank tops fresh.
- Think about Vinegar
This method is easy to follow and does not require any electronic washing equipment. By mixing half a cup of water with half a cup of vinegar in a spray bottle, you will be able to quickly remove mild odors from clothing.
After spraying it on your clothing, give it a few days to air dry before putting it away. The next step that you can take is to hang the sexy tank top in the sun and allow it to be exposed to UV rays for a short period of time to kill the microorganisms that are responsible for the odor.
- Consider Liquor as a Solution
The use of liquor can be beneficial for keeping your tank tops away from laundry odors. It is astonishing how effective vodka is at removing odors from them. Make sure that you pour a bit of it into a spray bottle, and then spray it on unfresh tank tops.
During the process of evaporating, the alcohol will lift away any odors that are present. There is nothing like a strong vodka when it comes to laundry.
If you add water to the spirit, the high alcohol content will be weakened, and it is the right time for the spirit to maximize its ability to eliminate unpleasant odors.
It is actually quite easy to get rid of the smell if you find the vodka, and that doesn't have to be pricey, then you can find and watch in amazed amazement as the odors disappear.
- Vinegar & Baking Soda at Daggers with Each Other
It is also recommended that you add a cup or more of baking soda to your spray bottle if you want to do laundry that is easy to do.
It’s important to note that baking soda and vinegar should not be used together because they are either/or situations, so don’t use them together. There is no doubt that you would like to achieve an ultimate effect.
However, doubling these two substances does not inherently mean that the effect of freshening would be doubled.
In the opposite direction, the two factors will cancel out each other, leaving you with stinky clothes in the end.
GEEZ, WHAT CAN I DO TO KILL SUCH TOUGH ODORS!?
The best way to deal with stubborn smells is to ask the washing machine and any other laundry products for assistance in getting rid of them.
Washing machines are equipped with special cleaning cycles that can help remove stubborn smells from clothes. You can also add laundry detergents or fabric softeners to help remove odors.
- Check the Care Label
There is a common misconception that laundry is a type of laundry product that can be used to wash any kind of fabric, and actually, this is not true.
The laundry additive that will enhance the cleaning power of the detergent will be different for different odor situations, and each situation will require its own distinctive and specific action.
Crop tank tops made of spandex, for example, cannot be washed in any formulation that contains bleach. Just as wool, silk, mohair, or leather cannot be washed in any formulation that contains bleach as well.
On the other hand, cotton and polyester can withstand bleach better than other fabric types.
- Better Control the Laundry Powder/ Liquid Amount
While it may sound like a good idea to put a lot of detergent powder or liquid in the washing machine, it's not a good idea. Using too much detergent will leave a slimy residue behind, which will trap odors lingering in the tank top, making it more difficult to get rid of them.
This is because the detergent has a tendency to coat the fibers of the fabric, which prevents them from absorbing the water and releasing dirt and odors. As a result, the dirt and odors become trapped in the fabric, making them more difficult to remove.
- Making Use of Your Freezer
A tank top can be frozen to prevent bacteria from growing and to get rid of odors. In many cases, the cold temperature of the freezer will cause the moisture in your tank tops to freeze, which results in the killing of bacteria that cause bad odors.
Using this method, you just need to place your tank tops in a plastic bag and seal it tightly so they don't fall out. It is recommended that you freeze the bag overnight, or for several hours, in the freezer.
As soon as you remove the tank tops from the freezer, the bacteria should have been killed, and any odors should then be gone from the tank tops.
After freezing your cropped tank top, be sure to wash them, as usual, to make sure any bacteria or dirt that may remain on them can be removed.
- Another Scent-killing Weapon--Enzyme
When attempting to eliminate lingering scents from your tank tops with the use of an enzyme cleaner, the first step is to carefully read the directions that are printed on the product's label.
The next step is to put the normal amount of laundry detergent and the amount of enzyme cleanser that the manufacturer recommends using in your washing machine.
If you want your tank tops to come out looking their best, you need to be sure the water temperature you choose is right for the material they are made of.
Check to see if the smells have been eliminated once the cycle of the washing machine has finished. If the scents continue after you have washed the tank tops, you might try soaking them in a mixture of water and enzyme cleanser for several hours before washing them once again.
Make sure you give the directions printed on the label your full attention and follow them exactly. Tank tops with ingrained scents can be difficult to deodorize, but enzyme cleaners have shown to be an efficient method for doing so.
In addition, certain enzyme cleaners might be rough on particular textiles; therefore, before applying the product to your tank tops, you should be sure to read the product label to ensure that it is safe for such use.
