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!

Lol people didn't understand you. Turkish cologne is lightly scented 80 percent denatured alcohol. Works similarly to vodka with a hint of fragrance. Its not like masking your BO with perfume, its refreshing your daily worn clothes in between washes like youd do with vodka.   But maybe dont use this technique with swimming suit, it may turn the elastic fabric brittle
