Q:
My boyfriend has the terrible habit of throwing all of his nasty, smelly kit on the floor in the middle of my dining room. I wouldn't mind so much but it makes the whole place right rank with the smell. I've tried Febreze but that just covers the smell. Do you have any tricks to get the smell out of combats?

A:
My solution has always been simple: store his kit in the garage or shed. If you don't have either, you can try this trick: Load his combats into the washing machine, let the tub fill with water, add a cup of vinegar and let his combats soak for AT LEAST 10 minutes. After soaking, continue the washing machine as usual. Good luck!
