How to get rid of the smell after eating hot pot

I wonder if you have noticed that every time you go out to eat, your clothes will still smell like the restaurant when you come back. Sometimes, in order to look nice when going out for a meal, you change into new clothes. After going out to eat, the new clothes cannot be worn anymore because of the strong smell. They need to be washed, which will make people feel very tired. Especially when eating hot pot, the smell is even stronger. So how do you get rid of the smell on your body after eating hot pot?

Method 1: Pour clean water into a spray bottle, then add 1 or 2 drops of lemon juice, shake well, and spray on the outside of the coat. Spray a layer of water on the entire outside of the clothes, especially the cuffs, collars and other places, hang them up and place them in a ventilated place to dry naturally, and the smell will be gone.

If you don’t have lemon juice, you can omit it, but the effect will be slightly worse. However, it is also effective in removing odors. If you have lemon essential oil at home, adding a drop will have the same effect. Also, don't add too much lemon juice, 1 or 2 drops are enough.

Method 2: Place lemon slices on the back cover of the hair dryer and use the hair dryer to blow the clothes, preferably on a cool setting. After blowing, you will find that the smell is basically gone, and there is a light lemon scent.

Method 3: Hang the clothes in the bathroom while we take a shower, and use the steam emitted to drown out the smell on the clothes. After washing, place the clothes in a ventilated place to air dry and the odor will dissipate.

Method 4: Dry your clothes in the sun, especially in a well-ventilated place, to make the unpleasant odor on the clothes disappear without a trace. For better results, put two bars of soap in the pocket of your cotton-padded jacket and expose them to the sun.

Note: Never add any chemical liquid containing bleaching ingredients, such as 84 disinfectant. Otherwise, your clothes might get stained.

How to avoid odor on clothes when eating hot pot

Most hotpot restaurants now have clothes covers. Before eating, take off your thick coat and put it inside the clothes cover to isolate the smell.

Is the taste of hot pot related to additives?

After a big meal at a hot pot restaurant, your clothes are often left with a pungent hot pot smell. Is the reason for the smell related to the addition of additives such as "a drop of fragrance" to the bottom of the pot?

Food safety experts say that if the taste is too strong and lasts too long, it can indeed be concluded that it contains a certain amount of additives. The smell that remains on the clothes is not the smell of hot pot, but perhaps the smell of additives.

No additives, odor disappears in 1 hour

Make your own pot base without any "drop of fragrance" additives. There is a taste left after eating, but it is relatively lighter and not as strong as when eating out. After hanging the clothes in a ventilated place outside the house for half an hour, the odor will be greatly reduced and basically disappear after more than an hour.

If it doesn't disperse for hours or even longer, be alert

A drop of incense itself has a strong smell. If you have a strong spicy smell on your body after eating hot pot, and it does not dissipate for hours or even longer, then it can be basically judged that a certain amount of such additives are indeed added to the bottom of the pot.

Note: You cannot judge the amount of additives based on the strength of the taste or the length of time it remains. Smell itself is a perception that varies from person to person and from carrier to carrier. Some people may be more sensitive to smells, and certain clothing materials may be more easily attached to smells. In addition to other external interferences, it is impossible to estimate the amount of additives added based solely on residual smells. “The testing of the additive content still needs to be done by professionals using professional instruments.
