I have a major funk issue with some of my gear after washing and rewashing. What detergents, boosters and cycles do y'all use to keep clothes clean and fresh?
Also general laundry tips are helpful as well.

If HE washer, then very small loads. Use a special stink specific detergent, then add vinegar to the wash.

This had been discussed before.
My shirts are the problem. I usually soak them in a vinegar mixture (sometimes I add baking soda just for the volcano effect) in the sink. Then wash them with Tide Sport.

I just tried the vinegar trick after a thread 2 weeks ago. This is my go-to now:
Nathan Sports Wash
Downy Unstoppables
Cup of Vinegar
Before I was just doing sports wash and Unstoppables. Vinegar was a game changer

Persil Detergent
Baking Soda
Lysol Laundry Sanitizer
Prewash and soak, then regular wash.
Baking soda is the workhorse

Tide Pod - Sports with Febreeze
Used to use the standard stuff, ever since my wife found this, I have had no issue. Stuff actually smells pretty good.

i've actually been laying out my clothes if they get soaked and then air drying before washing. been a huge improvement. i found this out during the sweatfest that was August running outdoors.

active wear setting.
hang dry anything with spandex or poly blends that heat from the dryer will break down.
my athletic clothing lasts three times as long when i don’t dry them.

It got really bad this summer. My wife was folding the clothes and sticking workout shirts with regular shirts. Not shoving everything in her face to give it a smell test. Well some smelly shirts transferred stink to regular everyday wear shirts 
. Vinegar soaks are helping fix that. But from that point forward, I get done with a workout and walk right into the shower and soap up with my clothes on. Basically washing them immediately, then hang to dry in the shower for a bit. Then they go into the laundry with the other clothes to get the "official" wash. Hadn't had any stink issues since. It's a pain, but it's sucks more when I grab a t-shirt to run to the store or something and realize half way there that I smell like arse.

You people either smell like dirty a-hole or wash your clothes like once every two weeks.
I sweat a shite load in my clothes and then we wash our laundry and it doesn't stink. Mind blowing thought.
