Getting stink out of clothing

[Nenibay]

I noticed some of my workout wear is holding in the sweat smell
Any suggestions? I typically use unscented detergent but am open to suggestions.

I like Tide sport in the summer

I add vinegar with my regular detergent.

I use a cup of vinegar in with my detergent, too.

Oooh I'm glad you asked this. My hot yoga stuff gets a tad foul .

One tip I've read that really seems to help- never ever throw wet clothes in the hamper or your bag. I've found that if I dry stuff out first, even in my car post-run while I'm having breakfast, it goes into the wash less stinky to begin with.

Vinegar in the wash. I also air dry all my running clothes

Add vinegar!

I tried vinegar and tide sport, and some stuff didn't come totally clean.

I moved into a new house about a month ago and the new washing machine has made a huge difference. The old one was only 3 years old, but apparently didn't do the job.

This is kind of random...but some sporting good stores have ozone machines. They are mostly targeted towards hockey and football equipment, but I bet you could pay to have your workout clothes un-stunk.

Tide sport works for me, but I'm told that putting tech fabrics in the dryer makes them hold in the stink.

Vinegar works except for stuff from ON. The permastank is resistant on their capris.

I use a cup of vinegar every few times I do my running clothes and it helps. I also try and air dry everything before putting it in the hamper as well.

I have a multi-step strategy that incorporates a lot of what other people have said:

1. Air out/line dry wet stinky workout clothes before throwing them in the hamper.

2. Use Tide Sport or other sports-specific detergent.

3. I use a little extra detergent and add an extra soak and rinse cycle on my washing machine (total wash time is 2 hrs).

4. Line dry.

I've found setting fire to it and buying new stuff works really well.

Vinegar to every load of wash.

[lb2006]

I use Win sports detergent for all of my workout wear. It really, really helps - and line dry. I never dry any workout clothes.

I have a question for the vinegar ladies. If you have a front loader, how do you add it? In with the detergent in the compartment? Directly into the washer?

I put it in the fabric softener compartment

I put it in with the detergent. It doesn't seem to hurt anything.
