FIELD NOTES
Wool naturally resists odour.
Wool fibres can absorb and release moisture vapour, making them less hospitable to odour-causing bacteria than many synthetic fabrics.
The average iron reaches temperatures above 200°C. That's hotter than many home ovens.
Most shoe odour isn't caused by sweat.
Fresh sweat is largely odourless. The smell develops when bacteria break it down.
Cashmere doesn't need frequent washing.
In many cases, airing between wears is sufficient to maintain freshness.
The average person sheds around 500 million skin cells each day.
Some of those end up in clothing, wardrobes, carpets, and bedding.
