Things to keep in mind before taking measures against aging odor
Even if you are familiar with the term "aging odor," the mechanism behind aging odor is not well known. The reason why aging odor does not come off with regular washing is because the source of aging odor is
sebum oil and protein stains . Oil and protein stains are difficult to dissolve in water, so they are difficult to remove with regular washing. Especially when the water temperature is below 40℃, it is difficult to lift and wash away oil stains, and sebum oil and blackheads remain even after repeated washing. This sebum residue gradually accumulates on clothes, and for some reason even clothes that have just been washed end up retaining an age-related odor. A pillowcase is a good example. So, what are the ingredients that cause aging odor that cannot be removed with regular washing? Here we will explain the ingredients that cause aging odor.
Why can't you get rid of aging odor by washing? ?
Causes of aging odor
The cause of aging odor is nonenal, which occurs with age.Nonenal is a component of palmitooleic acid (fatty acid), which increases with age, that is oxidized or decomposed by lipid peroxides and bacteria resident on the skin. Palmitoleic acid is also oxidized and converted to a component called 2-nonenal. This is the component of the "aging odor" odor. What's more, it is a troublesome ingredient that produces an odor even in small amounts. Nonenal increases in both men and women after the age of 40, so even women who have less sebum than men cannot feel safe.
Reasons why aging odor cannot be removed by washing
The reason why aging odor cannot be removed by washing is because oxidized skin dirt accumulates on clothing and bedding. By using a detergent with a pH that is opposite to the pH of the stain, a chemical neutralization reaction occurs and the stain dissolves away, so in order to remove aging odor, you must use
an alkaline detergent, which is opposite to acidity. is. If you are worried that the smell won't go away, you may be using a neutral laundry detergent.
Where does the smell of aging come from?
It occurs in areas that produce a lot of sebum, such as the back of the head and neck, around the ears, chest, armpits, and back. It's hard to notice on your own, but many people may notice it when they wake up in the morning and notice the smell on their pillow. This is the reason why many people find that their pillowcases and bedcovers smell like aging, as mentioned in the example at the beginning.
Clothes and bedding that are susceptible to aging odor
1. Shirts with age-related odor
Even if you wash your clothes every day, your shirts may still have the smell of aging. This is because sebum oil, which is difficult to dissolve in water, tends to remain deep in the fibers of underwear and shirt collars that come into direct contact with the skin. As with oil, we recommend washing with hot water instead of water to lift the dirt (odor).
2. Bedding (sheets and pillows) with aging odor
Sheets, pillows, and bedding that come into contact with your skin for long periods of time absorb odors while you sleep, making the odor stronger as you age. If you are concerned about this, you can prevent it by wrapping your pillow in a bath towel, layering sheets twice, using a breathable bed pad, and washing frequently (preferably soaking in hot water).

What is the effective washing method to remove the lingering odor of aging?
In the same way as for oil stains on dishes, it is effective to use hot water instead of cold water to remove sebum oil. The higher the temperature, the more effective it is, but depending on the fabric, it may damage the fibers and cause them to shrink, so it is important to wash according to the type of fabric. (Please see the washing instructions)
Use a mildly alkaline detergent to combat aging odors.
The main premise for removing aging odor is to remove sebum oil and protein stains that cause odor by floating them from the fibers. When washing clothes with aging odor, it is important to choose a mildly alkaline detergent that can remove sebum oil. Rinenna #2, which I will introduce later, is slightly alkaline and has a unique enzyme that neutralizes oxidation, making it suitable for washing away age-related stains.
don't leave it unattended
If you are concerned about the odor of aging, remove sebum oil from your clothes as soon as possible without leaving them unattended. Aging odor is an invisible stain, so the longer you leave it, the stronger the odor will become.
Check the washing label and check the temperature specifications for each fabric.
The chemical fibers (polyester, acrylic, polyurethane, etc.) used in many clothes may seem durable at first glance, but they are actually sensitive to heat. Polyurethane is especially sensitive to chlorine bleach, so be sure to check the washing label before washing.
Leave it on to remove dirt from the skin
Mix a small amount of detergent with hot water of 40 degrees or higher and soak it. As dirt rises to the surface, the color of the water becomes a little cloudy. You can prevent aging odors from penetrating by taking off your clothes at night and soaking them in the wash before putting them in the washing machine. If you run it in the washing machine with your other laundry when doing laundry in the morning, it won't take as much effort. However, be careful not to leave it on too long as it may return and stains may be transferred.
Massaging the fabric will damage the fabric, so leave it soaked.
You may be tempted to rub the fabric, but it will damage the fabric, so we recommend leaving it to soak.
Reasons why we recommend Rinenna #2 for aging odor countermeasures
Weakly alkaline Rinenna #2 that completely removes aging odor
Rinenna #2 is weakly alkaline, so it removes all the oxidized sebum stains, including the odor. I can't stand this cluttered feeling! That's what I heard. The key to thoroughly removing it is to soak it in hot water of 40 degrees or higher. Similarly, hot water is more effective than cold water for removing sebum and oil stains on dishes. Soaking in hot water will lift sebum stains from clothes. In addition, since it has a unique blend that basically does not work on dyes, you can wash colored items even if you leave it soaked. (However, there are many clothes that have dyes that come off just by soaking them in water, so if you are worried about the color fading, please try it on an inconspicuous area before using.)
Removes not only aging odor but also stains and dark spots
Of course, you want to remove not only age-related odors, but also dark spots and dark spots. Yellowing and darkening are caused by proteins produced by the body. Even if you remove sebum stains, blackheads will remain if you do not remove protein stains. Rinenna #2 focuses on protein stains and contains the ultimate blend of proteolytic enzymes. Moreover, there is no need to wash your hands. The before and after was introduced on
