Here's how to get smoke odor out of clothes
Nothing is more annoying than a fresh outfit that smells like smoke. Whether it's from an evening by the fireplace, a barbecue or cigarette smoke - the smell often lingers stubbornly in the fabric. Fortunately, there are several ways to get your clothes fresh again quickly. Below, we share the best tips for effectively removing smoke odor from clothing.

1. Airing outdoors
Fresh air works wonders. Hang clothes outside on a clothes rack or hanger and let the wind do its work. This works especially well with natural materials such as cotton, wool and bamboo, such as Vercate's knitwear and shirts.

2. Make a vinegar bath
Vinegar is a natural odor eater. Fill a bucket or sink with cold water and add a generous splash of white vinegar. Soak clothes in this for at least an hour and then wash them as usual. Don't worry - the vinegar smell will disappear during washing.

3. Use baking soda
Baking soda absorbs unpleasant odors. Sprinkle a little on dry clothes and let it soak in for a few hours before whipping out or washing. For an extra deep clean, add a cup of baking soda to the washing machine.

4. Wash with an odor-neutralizing detergent
Special anti-odor detergents, such as those for sportswear, help neutralize smoke odors. Choose a mild variety to preserve the quality of your Vercate clothing.

5. Steam out the smell
A steamer or a bathroom with a hot shower can help. Hang your clothes in a steaming area and let the steam break down the odor molecules. This is a gentle method that works well for delicate fabrics.

6. Coffee beans or newspapers as odor eliminators
Place a cup of coffee beans or stuff newspapers in a sealed bag with your clothes and leave it overnight. Both absorb odors effectively.

Prevention is better than cure
Want to prevent smoke odor from soaking into your clothes? Wear an extra layer, such as a jacket or overshirt, and store your clothing in a well-ventilated place.

With these tips, your clothing - whether it's a luxury shirt or stylish knitwear from Vercate - will always stay fresh and ready to wear!
