Most people to do not realize that mold and mildew are alive and grow by setting their spores airbourn and wherever they land they attach themselves to that article and begin to grow. Mildew is a fungus and thrives in warm humid areas such as the kitchen laundry room and bathroom. Basements are also vulnerable to the growth of fungus because they usually are warm and humid from the laundry room. The basement walls are also the ideal place for mildew to grow because of the dampness which is caused by condensation of warm and moist air which can be found on the cooler inside walls and floors.

Is Monday still the popular wash day? I can remember when everyone in town washed clothes on Monday, ironed on Tuesday and so on. Those were the days when laundry was hung out to air dry and I think I have just dated myself. Oh well.  No matter. Whatever day you wash on  the problem is always the same. How do you get the smells out of the clothes? It’s easy enough to get them clean but what about smelling nice?

We humans really do have a problem when it comes to odors. Just think, we mask the odor problem with shaving lotions, perfumes, deodorants and you name it and still we stink. If you like a drink or two, smoke, eat foods that are heavy with garlic or onion and live or work in an environment that has a variety of chemical and/or natural odors your body absorbs those odors. Those odors are then released through the pores in our skin to the outside world in the form of oils, perspiration, urine and that chemical called pheromones with which we seduce the opposite sex. Whether we like to admit it or not we all have body odors and that is why we put our day’s clothing into the hamper in the evening. And that hamper is not exactly a bed of roses. A word of warning, before you say “eeeuuu that guy stinks” remember the only body odors you cannot smell are your own. So that guy that you just eeeuuu’d is probably saying the same about you. 

When it comes to removing laundry odors from our smelly clothes we use all sorts of chemical laundry additives such as, bleach, sanitizers, spot removers, detergents, oxygenated cleansers and more. All of which do not lend themselves well to the environment. Why not go green and use a natural laundry additive powder such as OdorZout a laundry additive without the chemical additives.
