How Do I get the Smell of a Deep fryer out of Clothes?

Question

My son cooks at a fast food place and his clothes smell like the deep fryer even after washing

Answer 1

My man's a lobster fisherman. I use a cup of vinegar in each load of wash (along with detergent) and it cuts the bait smell on his clothes. And that's herring oil, so it should work on grease too. It's worth a try and it won't harm the clothes.

Answer 2

Try something easy first.

Wash the clothes in regular detergent the way you always do, but add a cup or two of baking soda. If the clothes come out still smelling like a deep fryer, don't dry them. Soak them in vinegar. Then wash them again in baking soda and detergent, using the soak cycle.

Answer 3

Give them a good wash with tide, and then when you rinse them take 1/2 cup of vinegar and add it to the rinse cycle. no more smell. Put them in the dryer, and the vinegar smell goes away also.

Answer 4

in case you go away a pan of vinegar out, this is going to neutralize the smell. i take advantage of pie pans and modify the vinegar each and every couple of days. This works nicely for eliminating cigarette smoke odors also.

Answer 5

Any washing soda, I like Arm and Hammer Baking Soda.

Answer 6

My kids did the same job...I'm not sure the smell will ever come out, but I used Lysol with Tide and it worked okay.

Answer 7

Febreze Laundry Odor Elimnator. It's a new product that works great.

Answer 8

P-U...just add baking soda or vinegar to a regular wash...works on yucky soccer socks

Answer 9

After three years of working at McDonald's, I can safely say - that smell will NEVER go away. Sorry:(
