    How to remove bad odor from a suit

    Hello guys. I just bought this nice vtg suit and after I took it to the cleaners it still had the bad odor around armpit area. Any suggestions?

    You might see if there are any of the european style wet cleaners in your area. Dry cleaning works well on grease and oils and the grunge that goes with it but has problems with other things like food spills. There is a new style from europe for wet cleaning that works well on all sorts of stains and in the fabric funky stuff.

    I tried the baking soda/water solution and already can tell a big difference!

    I didn't have time to go through all of the threads/links provided to see if this solution was mentioned, but turning it inside-out and hanging it outside works best for me.
