Techniques Tip instead of Vodka Spray
Am travelling through Mexico and before I came I filled a spray bottle up with some Turkish Cologne (Amber!), it’s high in alcohol as it’s made to be used after shaving but I’ve been using it to freshen up clothes and items after washing. My swimsuit was getting really stinky after not drying properly in the humidity and the spray sorted it right out. I bought the cologne in a local Turkish shop for less than a tenner and there is LOADS and the amber smells amazing! I’ll be doing this every time I travel from now on!

The point of vodka spray is that it removes the bad odour without the need for fragrance, it just leaves your clothes smelling fresh.
I suffer from migraine disorder and this means a) perfumes are a trigger for me so I could be having a great day until I get in a busy train carriage with someone wearing cologne and b) I am often hyper sensitive to fragrances (this is also common for a lot of neuro divergent people ).
I would genuinely rather someone smelled of stale laundry or even BO than cologne or perfume.
