    I am loving Win Detergent also (thanks Silver!). I've found if I auto-order it through Amazon, it's really cheap. I get 4 bottles every 3 months for $17-something per shipment. They discount it for the auto-order and they don't charge shipping. You can also change your mind at any time and order quicker if you run out or postpone an order if you don't need it.

    I'm using Win for more than my cycling stuff actually. It works on sheets and towels and all sorts of laundry

    My summer gloves get stinky too! I can't figure it out -- they get much yuckier smelling than my jerseys or armwarmers ever even come close to getting -- how???

    I've washed them in the machine with everything else -- seems to help but doesn't solve the problem completely.

    Ohhhh! wow I'll look that up. I love how my closet smells when I hang up my wet just washed cycling clothes to dry. Actually today I noticed as I was dressing (in regular clothes) that the shirt had been washed in WIN. I put it to my nose and took a big whiff and felt "the spirit of cycling" I'm kinda joking but not completely!

    I'll be washing more and more in it. To me it smells so refreshingly clean!!!!

    I use Dr. Bronner's castile soap for pretty much everything. Eucalyptus is the best for stains and smells. Lavender just plain smells the best.

    I'm a hippie-child, raised on a quasi-commune (well, for awhile...) so I'm a Dr. Bronner's babe. Yup, I read the bottles.
