campfire smell...

[turcy.]

So I was at a beach fire last night, and now all my clothes smell like campfire (obviously), is there any way to air our my clothes to quickly get rid of this smell, or will it simply take time? (or ...ohgodno... washing?) I really don't want to have to wash my jeans, they're my new xx-005bk's and they've only been worn 7 times max.

um. isn't that supposed to be COOL? i've seen a lot of woodsmoke soaps + deodorants at the store lately. ..

didn't CdG market a scent that smelled like "burning rocks"? tell people you're wearing that.

the non smart-assy answer is to expose your clothes to ozone but that might damage your clothes as much as an ice-cold wash with woolite (though it won't cause indigo fading)

is there a photocopier nearby you could hang your jeans behind?

[turcy.]

well, i was hoping to wear my xx-005bk's to a formal but drunken fest tonight, so i was hoping to get rid of the smell...definitely not COOL by my standards :/

i think i'll just set up a wind tunnel in my room, hang my jeans in front of the windy window with my door open... or i might just get an industrial fan, i've been meaning to set up the patented mike lowrey drying system for awhile now anyway ;p

Febreeze and fresh air are your friend.

P.S. I like the smell of campfire.....

[poopie boy]

just air them out in the morning or over night.. when i was wearing my apc's every day they'd smell really bad i'd just hang them out in my patio and they'd be completely odorless the next morning.

While I hate the smell of most smoke, campfire and wood fireplaces smell fucking awesome.

[mr fluffernutter]

either embrace the smell... or febreeze then hang them outside for as long as you can

the smell of smoke while it's live is often nice, but i can't stand old smoke in my clothes, especially campfire or cigarette smoke from a bar.

unfortunately sometimes you just gotta wash that shit. i'd try the febreeze and airing them out outside for a day, but that can only do so much.

at first I was like, hey, campfire smell is actually kind of nice. Then I realized that if you smelled your clothes a couple of days later it's got that stale smoke/food smell that is not so good. so yeah, air those babies out in the shade on a nice day

Stale campfire smell is the worst.

I'd say just air them out. Also a cold wash wouldn't do any harm.

i just hang stuff over a chair either inside or outside...otherwise imo the smell is no biggie

also, febreeze is truly disgusting, i hate that stuff

[turcy.]

yeah i never let febreze touch anything in my house, it just masks the smell with the overpowering scent of chemical coctail
