“…Besides fatty acids such as 3–methylbutanoic acid [ 3 ], steroids (e.g., 5–a–androst–2–en–17–one) [ 3 ], ketones (e.g., 1–octen–3–one) [ 3 ], esters (e.g., ethyl–2–methylpropanoate) [ 3 ], aldehydes (e.g., hexanal) [ 16 ], and alcohols (e.g., oct–1–en–3–ol) [ 18 ] were also found. In addition to these compounds, sulfuric compounds such as dimethyl disulfides (DMDS) and dimethyl trisulfides (DMTS) have shown to be present on odourous textiles as well [ 19 , 20 ] Some studies have also tried to analyse microorganisms present on malodourous textiles and have predominantly identified Staphylococcus sp. and Micrococcus sp., and in smaller numbers, Bacillus sp., Enterobacteriaceae , and Acinetobacter sp.…”

Smells Like Teen Spirit—A Model to Generate Laundry-Associated Malodour In Vitro

Although malodour formation on textiles and in washing machines has been reported to be a very relevant problem in domestic laundry, the processes leading to bad odours have not been studied intensively. In particular, the smell often described as “wet-and-dirty-dustcloth-like malodour” had not been reproduced previously. We developed a lab model based on a bacterial mixture of Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus hominis, and Corynebacterium jeikeium, which can produce this odour type and which might allow the detailed investigation of this problem and the development of counteractions. The model uses bacterial strains that have been isolated from malodourous textiles. We could also show that the three volatile compounds dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and indole contribute considerably to the “wet-fabric-like” malodour. These substances were not only found to be formed in the malodour model but have already been identified in the literature as relevant malodourous substances.

The inclusion of a nuclease, a new‐to‐laundry enzyme class in detergent formulations, reduces the concentration of recalcitrant soils on dirty clothing. Nucleases target extracellular DNA that, albeit present in minor quantities in soiled laundry items, disproportionately contributes to the accumulation of sebaceous soils and other compounds that affect the appearance of clothes. These lingering soils accumulate over multiple wear cycles and provoke a dingy appearance in clothing, characterized by dull colors, yellow staining, and an unpleasant malodor. The single and continued use of a nuclease in detergent formulations offers increased removal of these recalcitrant soils to produce less malodorous and visually preferred textiles. Furthermore, the nuclease is effective across different detergent forms, as well as in cotton short washing cycles, enabling improved cleaning in more sustainable laundry washing conditions.
