Hi Jane,

While I’ve never used it on down I can’t imagine that a few drops in a load of laundry would do it any harm. I’ve never had any issues with that oil.

In our case, the smell is in the polyester shell of the jacket. The jacket needs to washed with down wash liquid for the down but it doesn’t completely remove the odor in the polyester outer shell of the jacket. I wonder if the oil do any damage to the down or affect it’s performance. Thanks!

Essential Oils don’t foam so they are okay for the HE machines.

Hi Eric,

I haven’t had a bad experience with sending clothes through the dryer after this “treatment” yet – but if it’s not working for you, maybe try air drying after the wash. Another recommendation is to air dry them in the sun, but just be careful, some colors will fade in direct sunlight.

Will this work with clothes that go in the dryer? I have had awful experiences with polyester that smells decent after the wash (you cant smell much though) but when heated up, stinks like chemically burnt petroleum plastic (It wasnt the dryer because my partner had no issue). The issue was both sweat, bacteria, body oil, and maybe also my lotion, combined. It’s hard to get these things out of polyester, so if you dont get it all out during the wash, it lets you know it’s still there in the dryer. My fear would be this would heat up and stink in the dryer. Thoughts?

Thanks

It doesn’t seem like it should be a problem. Just get it mixed in with the water.

Hi Karen,

That’s got to be frustrating. I use hot water and the Essential oils and it’s always done the trick. Another option is putting a cup of white vinegar in with the load. Have you tried that already as well?

It didn’t work. Any suggestions?
