Whether it's because of the smelly socks of your budding footballer, the little not very fresh lingerie or even the baby clothes full of vomit...
..the clothes accumulated in the dirty laundry basket will inevitably give off an unpleasant odor.
It was without counting on the bicarbonate which, thanks to its porous texture and its blotting effect on the pH, will stop the proliferation of bacteria and therefore odors!
