# How to Remove the Perfume Smell From Dry Clean Only Clothing
The perfume you wore the last time you wore a dry-clean only sweater still lingers in the fibers. Aside from the smell, the sweater is clean. Rather than pay for an unnecessary cleaning, remove the smell at home. Remove the smell as soon as you can to increase the chances of eradicating it without cleaning. The amount of time it takes to remove the smell depends on how heavy the scent is. A stronger perfume takes longer to remove than a lighter scent.
