Oversprayed Perfume on Clothes: A Rescue Guide

Oops! Sprayed a bit too enthusiastically? Don't worry, you can often fix it. Here's what to do:

  • Act Fast: The quicker you address the problem, the easier it is to remedy.

  • Air It Out: The simplest solution is often the best. Hang the garment in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors (but out of direct sunlight). The fresh air can help dissipate the perfume. Consider using a fan to encourage air circulation. <br>

  • Blot (Don't Rub): Gently blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. Rubbing can damage the fabric and spread the perfume further. <br>

  • Baking Soda: For robust fabrics, lightly sprinkle baking soda onto the area. Let it sit for several hours (or even overnight) to absorb the scent. Vacuum or brush off the baking soda afterward. Test on an inconspicuous area first. <br>

  • Vodka or Rubbing Alcohol (Use with Caution): Dilute a small amount of vodka or rubbing alcohol with water. Test this mixture on a hidden area of the garment first to ensure it doesn't damage the fabric. If safe, gently dab the affected area with a cloth dampened with the diluted alcohol. The alcohol can help break down the perfume oils. <br>

  • Wash the Garment: If the above methods don't work, or if the fabric is washable, laundering the garment is the next step. Use a gentle detergent and follow the care instructions on the clothing label. You can add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the wash to help neutralize odors. Air dry the garment instead of using a dryer, as heat can set the scent. <br>

  • Professional Cleaning: For delicate fabrics or if you're concerned about damaging the garment, consider taking it to a professional dry cleaner. <br>

  • Fabric Refresher Spray (Use Sparingly): As a last resort, you can use a fabric refresher spray. However, be cautious as some sprays can leave their own scent or stain certain fabrics. Test on an inconspicuous area first. <br>

Important Note: Always test any cleaning solution on a hidden area of the garment first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage. Consider the fabric type (silk, wool, linen, etc.) when choosing a cleaning method.
