Hey all! My housemate has moved out, she’s not western so her standards of hygiene were different.

Her curtains and bedding smells awful. Her bedding is going to a local cat sanctuary, I washed them on a 2 hour 60 degree wash with double detergent and they still smell.

Her curtains are washable polycotton, how can I get the smell out of them?

    Did mentioning the fact that she is not western add anything though? You could have just as easily said “my roommate was unhygenic and now her stuff smells bad”

    I don’t mean this in a judgemental way, it’s just good for us all to think about the way unconscious bias peeks through when we speak.
