Hessian is a type of jute fabric that is used for variety of purposes, such as bags, handicrafts, rugs, curtains and even clothing. Hessian is a popular choice of fabric because it is strong and durable. If you have some hessian that starts to smell bad, you should treat the fabric with care. Washing hessian in a washing machine can severely damage it. With a little effort and some mild cleaning products, you should be able to rid your hessian of the unpleasant smell.
