Why does a wool scarf smell after washing? What should I do if a wool scarf smells after washing?

Wool scarves are a type of scarf that many people like. Wool scarves themselves have the smell of sheep, so it is normal for wool scarves to have a smell after washing. There are many things you need to pay attention to when washing.

If a wool scarf has an odor after washing, it may be because the wool was not handled properly, so the scarf has a wool smell. If a wool scarf has an odor after washing, it is related to the quality of the wool. Good wool will not have an odor. If there is an odor, you can ventilate and dry it several times. When buying, try to choose a better brand.

In addition to the quality of the wool scarf, the most important reason for it to have an odor after washing is that the place where you hang it is not ventilated. In this case, it is recommended to soak the scarf in warm water with a little salt for 5-10 minutes, then wash it with warm water and detergent for a few minutes, and then dry it. Then use one or two slices of lemon, squeeze out the water and apply it on the scarf. The fresh and fragrant lemon can not only remove the odor but also make you feel refreshed.

The reason why wool scarves have odor after washing is mostly due to mildew caused by drying in the sun or excessive humidity. To avoid this, the first thing to do is to find a ventilated and shaded place to dry it, and never put it in a dark and humid place. It would be strange if there is no odor in this case.

If you want to prevent your wool scarf from being prickly, you can wash it by soaking it in warm water below 35 degrees for 3 minutes and using some wool softening detergent to increase the comfort of the scarf and remove the odor.
