The stink

[Crankin]

I've never had a problem with jerseys stinking. May I ask what brands you have? I do remember when I first started riding (2000), some of the jerseys I had, and particularly, the ones DH and DS had were thicker,had more polyester, and held odor more.
I wash my shorts in hot water and hang to dry, but I've never washed jerseys in hot water.

Another vinegar user here. I put in about a 1/2 to full cup depending on the size of the load. I use plain white vinegar and it takes away odors. So far it's never harmed anything of mine yet.

Biz. I do the soak that Irulan recommended if the clothes are really foul. After that, a 1/2 cup added to each load of cycling/fitness clothes keeps the odor under control. With the Biz, I never have to wash anything in water warmer than "warm".

I have had the problem with my Buff headbands. I add some oxyclean powder in with the clothes and wash on gentle with my regular detergent.

Dandruff shampoo works very well to get the stink out of man-made fibers.

Ditto, I've never had an issue with stinking exercise gear. I put all of it in the washer on the 'warm' cycle right after exercise or the day after, hang everything to dry (indoors). If I have to wash it the next day, I make sure it is aired in the meantime (not crumpled and damp in a hamper). I use some ordinary Arm & Hammer detergent that I pick at a Target.
