[QUOTE="Rick of Rick and Peg, post: 1206271, member: 51912"] Washing isn't always sufficient. Here's a snippet from a technical paper. [INDENT]Although laundering is used to remove soils and bad odors, malodor can still continue to emanate from laundered clothing, with both intensity and quality influenced by fiber type. Over time as clothing is repeatedly worn and washed there is incomplete removal of soils via laundering, most notably in hydrophobic polyester fabrics, leading to perceptible odor still emanating from freshly laundered fabrics. This is because the attraction of non-polar soils and odorous compounds to oleophilic polyester fibers play a major role in the build-up and persistence of odor on polyester clothing. In a study examining the build-up of body odor in cotton and polyester jersey knit fabrics (both with 5% spandex), stronger odor intensity was perceived in polyester fabrics before as well as after laundering.[/INDENT] This is the paper. 39 PDF pages but with a third of them listing its 154 references. Edit: Thanks to [USER=41003]@J Willhaus[/USER] and her post below I was able to create the linked URL above. This worked in getting a free copy but the text was smaller on the phone.
