Q. I am searching for a way to remove underarm odor from clothes. I tried dilute vinegar, but it did not work at all. Is there anything else?
A. Several years ago, we heard from a person who used to work for the wardrobe department in a theater. Some costumes that cannot be tossed in the washing machine can get pretty smelly.
This reader said that spraying cheap vodka or undiluted white vinegar on the armpits of the garments took the smell away by the time the clothing was dry. We suggest testing the spray in an unobtrusive area first to make sure it doesn’t discolor the cloth.
