#to spell it out: the bra now stinks to high heaven of vinegar.

[greaseonmymouth]

so I’ve been advised for years that the best way to get sour body smells out of clothing, like for instance bras, the chief offender in my wardrobe, is by using vinegar in the laundry. the vinegar is renowned for removing smells, they all say. I use vinegar every time I do laundry, they all say. it really works, they all say. it even helps preserve colour, they all say, as if colour preservation hasn’t been a non-issue for at least fifteen years at this point. I have been sceptical of this tip, this trick, hack, as you will, because I cannot fucking stand vinegar and the smell of vinegar, and my experience with vinegar is once you get it on something, it will smell like vinegar forever. I do however have one bra that is too new to throw away but that has developed an unfortunate sour body smell so I thought, well, if the alternative is throwing it away I might as well try the vinegar trick. maybe I will be a convert. maybe I will find a delightful new use for vinegar that isn’t just limescale remover, the only reason why I even have vinegar in the house. do you want to guess how it went. do you. fucking guess
