Detergent for smelly workout clothes

[rick]

I am not connected in anyway to the following product, but
thought I'd pass it along for those of you who, like me, sweat
like a proverbial pig, then wash those clothes only to find
the smell never leaves in the armpits. And worse, no detergent
that I know of that can get rid of the smell.

I had to order this detergent from Amazon. Well, I could have
ordered it elsewhere, but it was expensive.

I did one load and it works. What I did was put all the
T-shirts (which were Russell all-cotton), along with others in
a large load. Some of the T-shirts were straight off the
hangers, but had the funky odor still there. Others were from
workouts from a few days - a bit damp. But the true test, I
figured, was the T-shirt that was still very damp and smelly
from the last workout a day or so before. All the clothes were
fine, and even though the detergent wasn't scent-free, the
odor I'd describe as neutral. The one wet t-shirt had only the
faintest hint to me of previous sweat odor, and I would bet
the next workout/laundry session that will be gone, too.

It seems expensive at the outset, but when you consider that
it's concentrated so you use less, and that I don't have to
immediately throw out the workout T-shirts and replace them
with new, it's not that bad. Anyway, here's the product:

Hope someone gets some benefit from it like I did.

I occasionally put all the shirts in a big sink with some
liquid, anti- bacterial hand soap, rinse out the next morning,
then wash with regular laundry detergent in the washing
machine. Works great.

Maybe I should try that. Some of that funky smell is
still there. Perhaps it takes more than one washing with
Win to do it.

Anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid is what we use. I do a load
of laundry in the washing machine with that instead of regular
laundry soap, then leave the clothes in there and wash them
again normally since the dishwashing soap seems to make all
kinds of suds/bubbles. Works well, use a extra soak and/or
extra rinse cycles on your washing machine if you have them.
