Parents Smelly Armpits - mesh delicate leo

[twinmomma]

HELP! DD is in acro and both her leos have mesh sleeves. LOTS of bling on the leos, so full scale washing is out of the question. I washed the armpits of both leos in woolite and they still stink. Any ideas short of febrezing them???

Vinegar wash perhaps?

How would I do a vinegar rinse on just the armpits? Do you think just like a sponge? I'm trying to avoid water in too many places to avoid the colors bleeding. I feel like it's ok and won't bleed but because she has to match her partner I don't want to risk it.

Cold water and vinegar, just the top to the pits???? Sponge could work too.

vodka in a spray bottle... spay the leo then open your mouth and spray vodka into mouth. You'll either get the smell out with the vodka or be drunk enough not to even notice the smell.

Does Vodka really work for that? I mean, I'm all for the second part of your suggestion LOL but I've never heard the first.

Sorry I just have a vision of the kid smelling like a drunk who has been out all night.

Yes; I used vodka for my oldest with her ballet tutus and dance costumes. Always do a test patch first.

Vodka doesn't really smell. It's why alcoholics like my aunt get away with filling a water bottle with it and passing it off.

The One Thing That Even Cheap Vodka Is Good For—Making You Smell Better

It's always tempting to grab yesterday's shirt and toss it on in a fit of laziness, but before you do and venture outside, it's probably wise to freshen it up a bit first. The most obvious way to do that is with some Febreze, but if you don't have any around, your liquor cabinet will do the trick.

I put vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz it on the stinky spots, then wash it. Vinegar takes out most smells.

A paste of bicarbonate of soda also works, but do a test patch first as with anything else. In South Africa we have a "beauty soap" called Lux. The white bar is absolutely the best thing ever. Grease, lipstick, sweat etc comes out like magic. Don't know if you have something similar. I use it on leos, collars of school shirts, my own dance wear.
