What kind of detergent do you use to wash your athletic apparel?

[arielmoon]

Seventh Generation or other environmentally friendly detergent.

My roommate uses WIN and every time my black shebeest shorts have lint deposits on them.

what's your recipe?

[maryellen]

When my "performance fabric" items get stinky, I use either baking soda or Dr Bonner's soap as the spirit moves me.

My recipie is
1 par Zote soap (grated)
4 cups 20 mule team Borax
2 Cups baking soda (washing soday ie. sodium carbonate works better but can't find it here)

OK I had a blonde moment when I typed this up. the Borax and Soda should be doubled. the Recipie should read :

I use a free clear detergent as I have a terrible allergic reaction to perfume and also react to certain dyes. I, however, do use windex whenever the grease spots come on clothing. My white jersey has gotten grease stains all over it and always comes out clean! My grandma gave me that tip and it works.
