So, obviously I expect my clothes to smell like a campfire when I’m done with a trip, and I wash my stuff as soon as possible.
However, I’m having this strange sensation after washing my clothes. When they come out of the dryer, there is still a strong smell that lingers , and it’s not straight campfire smell. It smells specifically like a wintergreen chewing tobacco or something. It disgusts me, and I’d honestly prefer my stuff smell like smoke than this weird hybrid odor.
I don’t use any minty detergent. Just run-of-the-mill commercial detergents. And this doesn’t happen when I wash anything else. It’s only after washing campfire clothes/blankets.
1) what is happening? Where does this acrid smell come from?
