Hi,
I bought a North Face McMurdo Parka off ebay, advertised as only worn 3 times, as new condition. It is indeed in as new condition to look at, but it has a revolting stench to it. It made me gag as I opened the bag it arrived in, it was that bad. It kind of smells like sour vomit and stale dogs, but very strong. So I washed it at 40c on a gentle synthetic wash with a 400rpm spin using Nikwax Down Wash Direct. It came out smelling worse than when it went in. Now it's wet, it smells like fresh acidic vomit! So I got onto the seller and he's happy to take it back and he's also happy for me to experiment with different washing methods to remove the smell.
So I've already done the
Down Wash Direct + Vinegar
Next cycle is non-bio and bicarb + vinegar.
Could anyone offer any suggestions to possibly try? Anything that i can buy to get it stink free? Thanks in advance and apologies for the graphic description!
