re: Why when you open the windows to your house do all your fabrics smell like "outside"?

That's just math.

Or is it...

I'm struggling to understand your issue. If outside smells different than inside, letting outside in will change the smell of inside, including things that absorb smells, like fabric.

No, you guys don't get it.

I've been looking it up online, and apparently only some people have the ability to smell what I'm talking about.

Outside air doesn't smell like anything in particular to me. Inside air doesn't smell like anything in particular to me. But if you expose something that's been inside to outside air (usually fabrics and such), there is a distinct smell that gets on the fabrics and it could take a day for it to go away.

Apparently only certain people can smell it. Apparently many people who responded to this thread have no idea the smell I'm talking about because they cannot smell it.
