Few things are as frustrating as pulling a freshly laundered shirt from the drawer only to catch the shadow of underarm odour. It’s not that the garment isn’t clean — it’s that traditional detergents often fail to remove bacteria that is deeply embedded in fibres. Over time, this “permastink” becomes a permanent fixture, dulling not only freshness but also your confidence.
The good news: there’s a way back. This guide gives you seven practical, proven steps to get rid of odour on clothes permanently. With the help of BIORESTORE Odour Defense — the best fabric odour eliminator for long-lasting confidence and hygiene - you can break the cycle of rewash after rewash and finally wear your clothes without worry.
Why Underarm Odour Sticks Around
Sweat itself is almost odourless. The real culprit? Bacteria. Strains like Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus thrive in warm, damp fibres, breaking sweat down into acids that smell far stronger than the sweat alone. Once those compounds bind to fabric, regular washing only skims the surface, leaving behind deeply embedded bacteria in the clothings fibres. That’s why BIORESTORE Odour Defense was developed with a Self-Renewing Si-QAC™ Odour Barrier Technology, it doesn’t just wash away odour — it bonds to fibres, removes bacteria and preventing them from coming back for several rounds of laundry.
How to Get Permanent Armpit Smell Out of Clothes?
Traditional detergents mask smells. Odour Defense removes them at the source. During the wash, its coconut-derived lauric acid works with Si-QAC™ technology to target bacteria, “popping” their cell walls on contact. This means the odour isn’t just gone for today — it stays gone, thanks to a protective barrier that remains bonded to the fabric after washing.
Tip 1: Wash at the Right Temperature
Too cold, and bacteria survive. Too hot, and fibres weaken. The sweet spot? 40°C. That’s the temperature Odour Defense is designed to activate, ensuring bacteria are neutralised while your clothes stay safe.
Tip 2: Use a Precision Fabric Odour Remover
Skip the heavily perfumed washes. They may smell fresh at first, but odour-causing microbes remain. Instead, use BIORESTORE Odour Defense, a pre-dosed sachet that eliminates odours at the fibre level. One sachet can treat up to 1kg of clothing, so you get precise treatment without waste.
How to Remove Odour from Clothes (and Keep It Gone)
Think long-term. After washing with Odour Defense, its Si-QAC™ barrier continues working invisibly for several washes. That means you don’t need to repeat the treatment every cycle. Fewer washes = less fibre stress, better garment longevity.
Tip 3: Dry Thoroughly
Leaving clothes damp is an invitation for bacteria to start over. Tumble drying not only locks in Odour Defense’s treatment but also ensures garments are fully dry. If you prefer line drying, do it under direct sunlight — nature’s oldest and most effective antibacterial aid.
Tip 4: Don’t Overuse Detergents
More detergent doesn’t equal more clean. In fact, excess detergent can leave residues that trap bacteria and odour. Since Odour Defense provides lasting protection, you can wash less often, keeping fabrics healthier and reducing water waste.
Tip 5: Build a Long-Term Laundry Ritual
Permanently fresh clothes aren’t about constant scrubbing — they’re about smart care.
- Use Odour Defense when garments show signs of odour build-up.
- Alternate washes with a gentle detergent for maintenance.
- Air clothes between wears to cut down on unnecessary washes.
