odd smell

**sathor** · 28th January 10, 06:40 PM

I was doing laundry, and sue to an incident with snow, I grabbed my 'bang around the house' kilt, and noticed an aweful smell. My acrylic SWK smelled bad. real bad. It smelled rank, but oddly, the smell was half rank and half 'wool' smelling. I can accept rank, I don't remember abusing it recently, but still... However, the wool part of the smell has me baffled. It got much better after a wash, but it was really really weird. Anyone have that happen to them before?

Do you, by chance, have moth balls in the closet?

Maybe you are associating the moth ball smell with wool?

I have cedar in the closet, but the kilt wasn't near the closet.

Well, then do you own house cats?

Oh, I hope it wasn't cats! Do you think the kilt could have been damp and sat too long before you washed it? Maybe you dumped a damp or sweaty piece of clothing on it in the hamper? Or perhaps you got really sweaty the last time you wore it! If it washed out, I wouldn't worry, unless it happens again.

I have a female cat, and it was on the floor, but at the same time, I had been wearing it while doing exercises. And it smells better now, when I had a male cat that did that kind of thing, it was a different smell and hard to be rid of. (It died before I got my first kilt)
