Title: Mothball smell?
Post by: NIGEL01 on March 04, 2015, 05:18:00 PM
I got a pair of surplus wool pants the other day, any tricks to getting the smell out?

Air them out, a lot.  Could wash them in cool water and Woolite first, but only if they're plenty large for you now.  Regardless of how careful one is with wool, over time, it just tightens up (shrinks) a little.

Hang them in the smoke of a camp fire for a couple hours... that will do it.

Hang them outside that is as long as it won't rain.

Wood fire is my choice.  Unless you like the skunk smell, up to you.
