To get the smell of a campfire out of clothes, several effective methods exist:

  • Air out the clothes for 12-24 hours in a well-ventilated area or outside to reduce the smell.
  • Wash in hot water (as hot as the garment care label allows) with detergent to open the fibers and remove odor.
  • Use white vinegar or baking soda in the wash to neutralize the smoky odor.
  • Dry clothes in the sunlight , where UV rays and fresh air help remove smells further.
  • For a quick deodorizer, spray a mixture of vodka and water (1:3) on clothes and let air dry (avoid use near flames).
  • Lemon juice diluted in water and sprayed or soaked can also help reduce smell.
  • Hanging clothes outside overnight at a campsite and washing thoroughly after can significantly diminish smoke scent.

These approaches can be combined for best results, repeating washing if necessary until the campfire smell is fully gone.
