The development of malodour on clothing is a well-known problem with social, economic and ecological consequences. Many people still think malodour is the result of a lack of hygiene, which causes social stigma and embarrassment. Clothing is washed more frequently due to odour formation or even discarded when permastink develops. The malodour formation process is impacted by many variables and processes throughout the textile lifecycle. The contact with the skin with consequent transfer of microorganisms, volatiles and odour precursors leads to the formation of a distinctive textile microbiome and volatilome. The washing and drying processes further shape the textile microbiome and impact malodour formation. These processes are impacted by interindividual differences and fabric type as well. This review describes the current knowledge on the volatilome and microbiome of the skin, textile and washing machine, the multiple factors that determine malodour formation on textiles and points out what information is still missing.
衣物产生异味是一个众所周知的问题，会带来社会、经济和生态方面的后果。许多人仍然认为异味是卫生习惯不良导致的结果，这会造成社会污名化和尴尬。由于异味的形成，衣物会更频繁地洗涤，甚至在产生永久性异味时被丢弃。在整个纺织品生命周期中，异味形成过程受到许多变量和过程的影响。与皮肤接触从而导致微生物、挥发性物质和异味前体的转移，会导致形成独特的纺织品微生物群落和挥发物组。洗涤和烘干过程进一步塑造纺织品微生物群落并影响异味形成。这些过程也受到个体差异和织物类型的影响。本综述描述了目前关于皮肤、纺织品和洗衣机的挥发物组和微生物群落的知识，确定纺织品异味形成的多种因素，并指出仍缺少哪些信息。
