Use about a cup of Borax. Warm water.
    I assume you are talking about using bleach on stinky synthetic, lycra, and polyester type biking clothes.... Not on real wool. {{{shudder}}}

    Oh of course, stinky plastic athletic clothing! And I forgot to say that I add bleach & borax along with the regular laundry soap too.

    Whew! You had me scared for a minute there!

    Hey wouldn't that be funny, to have a big website business called
    Stinky Plastic Athletic Clothing ? it would be refreshing!

    Mind you, I myself have some stinky plastic athletic clothing that I just love and use often myself. (I'm a SheBeest and LouisGarneau fan) But I also am very much into real wool. Each thing has it's good uses.
