Hi.
I have a pair of blue jeans i am currently wearing. When it get's warm, it creates a strong metallic smell, or iron. I wash them as much as I can to try and rebuke the smell, but whenever i wear them; after a while during the day, the smell is there. How do i get rid of it and prevent it from happening? I don't sweat that much either since I shower a lot but the smell just doesn't go away.

    Get rid of them. I have no idea as to why this happens [and I'm not going to Google it for you] but I have noticed in my experience with fabrics that some of them retain certain smells despite washing them properly and/or several times. 100 % natural fiber fabrics [like cotton, silk, flax, hemp] usually don't, so with jeans and denim it shouldn't happen either, but when the garment is made out of man-made fibers or there's a blend of natural and synthetic it's likely they will. Can you read the label and tell me?

    Burn them to nothing. They are not real jeans, they are imposters.

    I am not sure the scent you describe.
    Is it like some jean material that just has some awkward chemical smell even brand new, but the smell just does not wash out?

    Are you getting blood on them?

    I've heard you shouldn't wash jeans, you're meant to put them in a bag in the freezer over night to kill bacteria or something.

    Imma stick with the washing :/

    I had some pants like that. I gave them away.

    It seems you are borderline having a stroke. Iron smells like nothing but phantom smells are a serious issue. Get help.

    Buy gym shorts instead or buy pants not denim jeans.

    Soak them in urine.

      Pee trumps iron? What trumps pee, then? :P

        If they smell like pee, you'll wish they smelled like iron.

          Sounds like a mixed drink from the old country. Down a couple and go vampire hunting.
