Detergent

[rubywagon]

WIN is regular detergent with oxygenators (aka Oxiclean) added, specially packaged and marked up. You can get the exact same results with your regular laundry product and a scoop of Oxiclean. But hey it's your money.

Good to know. Thanks! I think.

I got a bottle of WIN out of curiosity and it works fine, a little goes a long way, but I agree with the above -- there doesn't seem to be any real advantage over regular detergent.

I've successfully gotten out grease stains, even old ones, using Oxy-Clean.

From a thread on shorts -- apparently hand washing clothes in dandruff shampoo (Head and Shoulders or with the same active ingredient) gets the odors out, too:

I found Tide Sport with febreze and it claims that it's specially designed for sports apparel. It does have a nice clean scent.

I use the Tide w/Febreeze and Borax...the Borax helps soften our HORRIBLY hard well water and seems to help with stink and stains, too.

Sportwash

I use generic 7th generation type laundry detergent no fabric softener and never in the drier. I did buy some special sports detergent but it didn't do much for the excessive smell so I gave up and went back to general detergent. I can tell if it has been a good bike week by the number of sweaty outfits hanging to dry on the shower rod bedfore washing.
