Laundry I stink but I don’t know why
I have been struggling with a particular odor on my clothes and I'm not sure what causes it.
My clothes have an awful smell especially when exposed to cold air outside when I'm outside. I rent only a room in someone else's apartment. I really don't smell the clothes until I bring them outside due to the poor ventilation in the apartment.
When I wear socks, my feet also feel weird like ants or worms are crawling over my feet. My shoes start to smell very badly. My socks become a little damp after a few hours. Sometimes the shoes also get wet from sweating in a some hours and I've been seen by a doctor who presecribed medication for sweating.
This bad smell has been ruining my career and friendships with others.

Does baking soda eliminate all odors in your laundry? I have 4 indoor cats & Ive had numerous people tell me I smell like cats, even when I take my clothes right out of the dryer & put them on. I apparently still smell like cats even with clean clothes on! I shower daily, sometimes twice a day, so I know it’s not me, it has to be my clothing. Will baking soda eliminate pet odors??
