Heres how to deal with your smokey garments after your Bonfire Night celebrations
Guy Fawkes Night is tonight , and people will gather across the UK in parks, fields and gardens to enjoy colourful fireworks and feel the warmth from bonfires. But the smell of the evening can last on your clothes for a long time.
Katy Roberts, a washing machine expert at AO.com has provided some top tips to tackling smokey clothes. She said the best way to begin is by pre-treating your clothing with baking soda before putting them into the washing machine. Once the clothes are in the washing machine you need to use the right settings Katy recommends to use a hot water cycle as it breaks down the oils on the clothing from the smoke particles. As well as remembering to check the care labels on your clothes, only selecting the hottest cycle your fabric can handle.
Instead she recommends using the tumble dryer, with a dryer ball 'with a few drops of essential oils' inside to get your clothes 'an extra kick of freshness'.
