Why Do My SHEIN Clothes Smell and How Can I Fix It?
Last updated
Have you ever excitedly opened your SHEIN package only to be greeted by a peculiar smell? If so, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into why this happens and how to tackle it head-on.
So, why do SHEIN clothes sometimes have a strange smell? We’ve got the scoop for you.
The Short Answer
When SHEIN clothes arrive with a noticeable smell, it’s often due to the way they’re manufactured and shipped. The clothes are made quickly to keep up with trends, and sometimes chemicals used in the manufacturing process can linger.
Additionally, during the shipping process, clothes are packed tightly in plastic, which doesn’t allow the garments to breathe. This can trap odors and make them more pronounced when you first open your package.
How to Freshen Up Your SHEIN Finds
Worry not! There are simple fixes to get rid of that funky odor. First, give your clothes a good wash. Adding a cup of baking soda or vinegar to the wash can work wonders in neutralizing odors. Just make sure to follow the garment’s washing instructions.
If the smell persists, letting your clothes air out in a well-ventilated area or under the sun can also help. The fresh air and sunlight work together to break down and remove the odors naturally.
