Weed smell on clothes is one of the most frustrating odors to deal with.
You hang the clothes up.
You think they’re fine.
Then you put them on… and the smell comes right back.
You think they’re fine.
Then you put them on… and the smell comes right back.
That’s because clothing fibers absorb smoke fast — and release it just as easily.
The good news? You can remove weed smell from clothes without harsh chemicals or repeated washing.
Why Clothes Hold Weed Smell So Well
Clothing is made of tightly woven fibers that trap odor particles deep inside.
Heavier fabrics hold smell the longest:
- Hoodies
- Jackets
- Denim
- Sweaters
Even clean clothes can smell again once they warm up on your body.
The Most Common Clothing Mistakes
Before we get into what works, here’s what usually doesn’t.
Spraying heavy fragrance
Wearing clothes again “to see if it’s gone”
Rewashing over and over
Using harsh detergents
Wearing clothes again “to see if it’s gone”
Rewashing over and over
Using harsh detergents
These can:
- Lock odor into fabric
- Damage fibers
- Leave chemical smells behind
How to Remove Weed Smell from Clothes
Step 1: Air the Clothing First
Hang clothes in a well-ventilated area briefly.
This removes surface odor but won’t fix what’s embedded.
Step 2: Lightly Treat the Fabric
Using a true odor eliminator, lightly mist:
- Underarms
- Sleeves
- Collars
- Inside lining of jackets or hoodies
You don’t need to soak the fabric — a light mist works best.
Step 3: Let Clothes Dry Naturally
As odor particles are neutralized, the smell dissipates.
The clothes should dry smelling neutral — not scented.
Step 4: Wash If Needed
If washing is required:
- Wash normally
- Avoid heavy fragrance detergents
- Skip fabric softeners
After washing, odor eliminator can be used again if needed.
Why Weed Smell Comes Back When You Wear Clothes
Heat activates odor particles.
That’s why:
- Clothes smell fine hanging up
- Then smell again once worn
Eliminating odor particles stops this cycle.
Why Non-Toxic Matters on Clothing
Clothes sit against your skin all day.
A non-toxic solution means:
- No skin irritation
- No chemical residue
- Safe for repeated use
- Safe around kids and pets
You can treat clothes without worrying about what you’re wearing.

- Jackets or hoodies smell
- Clothes can’t be washed immediately
