Stinky Jerseys?

[Jiffer]

We use Arm and Hammer Oxi Clean detergent, yellow bottle. Dh's running and cycling clothes used to smell so bad, I wouldn't even keep my less stinky stuff in the same hamper with his, much less wash them with his, because the smell would transfer. Now our clothes can cohabitate and they come out of the wash oh so smelly good!

I'm not sure if hunting detergent is gonna work or if it was the right thing to suggest, i'm just interested in knowing if anyone has used it and had any luck with it, since that's the whole point behind it's marketing.

My friend is working on this problem and has solved it but I don't think we are going to go through with a formulation as he can't convince management it would be a money maker.

All I can say is try washing your athletic clothes in Head & Shoulders. The regular kind with Zinc Pyrithone. It has antifungal and antibac properties. Only need to do it about once a month. Helps with malodor issues in the front loaders too.

Try it and thank me later.

How much H&S would you use for a full HE washing machine load? Or is this best suited to hand washing?

My friend tosses a regular cap full in as if if you were using your regular liquid detergent. For hand washing, he just takes a five gallon bucket and puts a couple of squirts in it with water and lets the garments soak for about a half an hour.

I wouldn't put nature's miracle in a CamelBak, the smells in it are not from mammals, they are from molds and mildews. I'd use something stronger like bleach or vinegar (one alkaline, one acid, don't mix!)

I like Woolite. So sue me. I wash all my clothes in it, since half of my everyday clothes are either merino or lycra anyway. I don't use a heck of a lot in the load. Hasn't hurt my precious wools yet in 2 years now. Everything comes out smelling fine. Tried Ivory Snow and hated the smell. Can't bear the awful smell of Head and Shoulders ((shudder)) Baby shampoo?- too many suds. My husband does his own laundry and uses that expensive Kucaburra wool wash stuff on it. it smells like lavender.

Cincinnati? Does your friend work where I think he works? (edit: if only I could spell it right.)

Thanks for the tip.

That was my guess too...

My suggestion for stinky jerseys....wear wool.

Oh and natures miracle is an enzyme. It will eat any organic material including mold and mildew.

The last time I wore wool, my sensitive skin got irritated (possible rashes) and I was uncomfortable. Have they improved how wool feels?

Yep - as do I and most of the town.
