Preventing unpleasant smells

In fabrics and footwear
It can sometimes prove tricky to prevent unpleasant smells in textiles and shoes, especially if you suffer from excessive transpiration or sweaty feet, or tend to always wash clothing at low temperatures. Luckily there are not only a number of ways to remove odours from clothing, but HG also offers specific products to effectively tackle unpleasant smells in, for example, sports clothing, smelly sports shoes or sweaty shoes.

In appliances
Unpleasant smells can be prevented in the dishwasher by maintaining it properly. Always remove any food remnants from the filter for example, and clean the dishwasher itself regularly. Of course the same applies to other household appliances and machines, such as the washing machine and the fridge, because proper use and good cleaning and maintenance prevents annoying smells and odours from spreading.
