This article from Heritage Park focuses on washing thrifted and secondhand clothing. It is a comprehensive guide on how to eliminate the distinctive "thrift store smell" from second-hand clothing. We explain the various factors contributing to this odor, including musty scents, commercial disinfectants and deodorizers, aged fabrics, and lingering perfumes or detergents. We then offer a detailed, three-step washing process using white vinegar, baking soda, and our Activewear Detergent to thoroughly clean and deodorize washable thrifted items. We then recommend using Heritage Park All-Purpose Laundry Detergent for regular washing of thrifted clothing and all laundry. With this information, we hope to enjoy your unique and sustainable thrifted fashion finds without compromising on freshness.
