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?

    Would this not destroy the curtains? I’d be reluctant to put that high a concentration of acid on fabric

      Typically one would dilute the acid a bit first, but I don’t think that aceitc acid can do much damage to typical fibers quickly enough to be an issue. I use it at about 12% and I have no cause to think it’s hurting my clothes, sheets or curtains.
