Help BO smelling dress

[anniewoo]

Leant a very close relative a dress, need it to night, she perspires more than me and it smells of BO. Help, what can i do !
Won't have time to wash and dry it.

[stainesmassif]

Wear something else. Sorry.

[strumpetpumpkin]

wear something else, or wash and dry it somehow

ewww

does it really really smell?

Will a very strong fabreeze not do the trick??

Might have to be a different outfit and no more lending of clothes.

[anniewoo]

Says don't tumble dry. I'll kill her

[noisytoys]

White vinegar will get the smell out but there might not be enough time to wash it before tonight

[anniewoo]

Also i have hinted that her deoderant/ anti perspirant doesn't work so well. She's very sensitive ( and really nice). It's black so talc can't be used. Aghhhhh!

[anniewoo]

Will it smell of vinegar?

[anniewoo]

Ohhh! Vinegar then wash it - gotcha.

You just can't wear a smelly dress. There must be something else you can put on for tonight, surely?

[dearprudence]

If it smells, there's no way to get rid without washing it. Can you dry it on a radiator, or even iron it dry if you really don't have an alternative.

[anniewoo]

Thanks for all your replies. Have put it in wash in net bag as has beading and hope i can tumble it on low heat . F*kity f*k

[lalalonglegs]

Don't tumble dry - stick it over a hot radiator for a couple of hours.

[BOFingSanta]

Noooo, you can't tumble dry it!

[anniewoo]

Thanks for all your help. Washed it and tumbledried it in a pillowcase on the lowest of the 2 heat settings i have. A little damp around the neck but it was fine.

[BOFingSanta]

Oh good. Did you have a nice time?

[anniewoo]

Great thank you.
