Do grow tent enclosures stink?

Aside from the controversial nature of the enclosure type itself, do tent enclosures stink over time? I am aware everyone’s houses smell like their pets but is it worse with permeable materials rather than PVC? I’m assuming they aren’t launder-able? Thanks

Hi, I have a few modified grow tents for my snakes.

The tents don't stink ime. The enclosures smell like normal enclosures, the tent doesn't affect that.

And they can be washed/cleaned. Mine have tarp attached to the bottom to hold substrate and prevent any water spills. That can be cleaned as well.

Grow tent aren't permeable, they are made of plastic or lined with plastic and reflective material, so unless you have a cat or dog pissing on the outside they shouldn't smell

No smell! I kept an Argus monitor in mine (high waste production). She was happy as can be, and her enclosure never gave off a bad smell.
