We know everyone sweats but what most people don’t know is that the odor that emanates over time is not due to us. Microbes, particularly bacteria, are responsible for those usually unpleasing volatiles. For our bodies, the answer is bathing. For our clothes, it’s laundering although that can increase energy use and contribute to faster disposal. This talk will guide you through the microscopic universe of clothing and odor generation and how controlling growth can improve sustainability through reduced odor production, laundering, and turnover.
