My pants smelled funny today and...?
well today at school i noticed something smelling funny. i realized it must've been my pants cause i hadn't worn them for a couple of months, like 4 or 5. I was wondering, do you think others around you can smell it?
Btw, i borrowed some of that spray axe type stuff from someone and just sprayed it over my pants to cover up the smell and it went away.

Maybe they are musty from being in storage. If you store clothes when they are out of season you should always wash them before you begin wearing them again.

Spraying a smell will only cover it up temporarily and will eventually cause it to smell worse. I'd say its about time to wash your pants. I would get them dry cleaned. Also keep in mind that certain fabrics do rot over time if they weren't stored properly. Have them washed/ cleaned, and if they still smell, it may be time to toss them.

You probably picked them out of the laundry thinking they were clean. Or you need to bathe. Clean pants shouldn't smell gross...neither should a clean body.

It could have been that when your pants were washed that they were in the washer too long and they got the mildew smell........even when you dry them it stays.......if you want it to go away you have to wash them again.
