Let’s talk about smells—specifically, the ones that cling to clothes like bad memories. I’ve been using OdorKlenz for months, and it’s been a rollercoaster. Some days, it’s a hero; other times, it leaves me scratching my head.

The Wins: This stuff *nuked* the thrift-store perfume stench from a vintage sweater I’d almost given up on. One wash with a scoop of OdorKlenz? Gone. Same for my workout gear—that post-gym funk vanished like magic. And my boyfriend? He stopped side-eyeing my pajamas after one wash (night sweats, we’ve all been there).

The ‘Meh’ Moments: Don’t expect miracles with heavy chemical odors. A formaldehyde-laden shirt laughed at three washes with this powder. And that ‘80% success rate’ comment from another reviewer? Spot-on. Sometimes clothes come out fresh; other times, they need an overnight soak (which works, but who has time for that?).

Pro Tip: For nuclear-level smells (looking at you, Febreze addicts), double the dose and soak overnight. It’s not instant, but it’s the closest thing I’ve found to a reset button for fabric.

Bottom line: It’s not perfect, but in a world where even ‘unscented’ detergent smells like a candle store, OdorKlenz is the quiet warrior in my laundry arsenal.
