Gym clothes cleaning

This is like the fourth thread on this in the past month. I've had a couple shirts I wear weekly for like 2 years and they're fine. Why do y'all's clothes smell so bad?

If they are sweat wicking, you need to throw them away...they are done. Wife runs long distances and for a few weeks I thought she had the aids or something. I did some research and we figured out the moisture wicking properties fail after a certain point and they become pungent.

Thanks for the baking soda tips, fellas. Hadn't seen that mentioned yet.


And Mingo, you might want to increase your intensity baw. If you're not smelly, you're not doing it right!

Thanks folks.

I play a lot of tennis and sweat a ton. I go through 3 or 4 shirts and pairs of wristbands every time I play. Most of the clothes I wear are dry fit/sweat-wicking/etc...

I was about to throw away ALL of my clothes because they smelled clean when they came out of the dryer, but the minute I started sweating the smell would come back.

I tried multiple things, but I recently gave something called Rockin' Green a shot. I bought the pre-soak (Funk Rock) product and the detergent. I soaked all of my terrible-smelling clothes in the bath tub for a few hours in the pre-soak with hot water (the water was brown when I took the clothes out). Then I used the detergent and washed the clothes normally and dried them normally. To my amazement, I have worn 5 of the bad-smelling shirts and not one of them smells anymore when I sweat! I couldn't believe it. So, if you want something that really works, I suggest giving it a try.

Give this a try add reg detergent & some oxy clean

I guess I'm lucky. Use the normal sport Tide pods in my POS washer and don't have any issues. I make sure to wash immediately on days that they're soaked with sweat, but thankfully that less often as it cools down.

I ordered it off of Amazon.
