nik wax smells fusty

I wash my coat every time I have used it in nik wax stuff, but its stinks of old fusty clothes after! its disgusting, any suggestions to make it smell of roses? I even mixed a little softener in it last time but it still stinks... its as bad a mans stinky feet...

Dont use fabric softerner

If you are using Nikwax to keep it waterproof then under no circumstances use fabric softener, Although having said that, 5 mins in the drier with a bounce sheet before you go cant hurt

re: nik wax smells fusty

Is it the Nikwax that's making it smell fusty, or are you washing it when you get back and then storing it for a year? It might make a difference if you wash it with normal powder when you get back to clean it and the re-do it with Nikwax before you go.

Everything smells of woodsmoke when you get there anyway!

re: nik wax smells fusty

not the storage, only washed it last week, and its already smelling fusty... and No it's not my house have no tumble drier so guess the bounce is out the question, just have to sit next to a guy on the plane with stinky feet then no one will smell my coat
