Methinks I’ve made a tactical mistake of doing my laundry so late in the day.

No more sun where I need it though it’s still warm outside.

It'll be dry by 7am tomorrow even with the nighttime dew.

Even tho I have been pretty tired today I managed to get my desk ready again for a new year of study and art practice and projects. 😊

I got some op shop jeans that looked good, washed them, and now they smell like sewage. Washed them three times and even used cleaning vinegar but still stinky.

I could use hot water or Napisan but am already concerned about fading them with multiple washes.

It’s possibly the dye but I don’t know if I want to wear something that doesn’t smell clean and fresh.

UV (sunlight) can be good for killing smells.

I found water soluble eucalyptus oil solution works wonders. I had some socks that were still smelling a bit foot-like even after a whole heavy duty wash. Eucalyptus fixed it.

buying all the cleaning agents is more expensive than opshop jeans.

just throw these ones out and buy another pair

Also: check your washing machine isn't causing stinky
