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

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

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.

I missed this poll.

As a substitute for Woolite, use baby shampoo. More gentle, has less additives, cheaper, same or better results.

As a substitute for WIN, use regular detergent w/oxyclean. That is all WIN and other "sports detergent" is, detergent with an oxygenator added. Same results, less money.

If the gear is really stinky, soak in a bix/oxyclean mixture overnight.
