how do I get the sweat smell out of my laundry?

Clothes that I use to sweat in have a certain "funk" smell after laundering that won't come out. I have tried OxyClean and other prosucts to no avail. Is ther any way to get this odor out of clothes other than burning them?

Answers:
First your most offensive laundry should be washed separate from other clothes so you don't spread the love.

My strongest recommendation is to add about a cup of baking soda to a large washload. You can buy baking soda for about 2 dollars in a HUGE box so it is really cheap, and not all those little fridge sized boxes are necessary but if you use those, I would dump the whole thing in.

Another cheap deodorizer is vinegar, this doubles as a fabric softener.

Baking soda and vinegar combine to make the volcano effect, remember? I think it is a dramatic but harmless reaction especially if diluted in a washer full of water. You can use either or both, but I don't think both is necessary.

There is always chlorine bleach if the clothes can stand it.

You can also add febreze spray (dump a few tablespoons out of the bottle) to your wash water, or spray clothes wet before you dry them. There is a knockoff of febreze at almost all stores, and you do NOT need the febreze laundry additive, it is very expensive.

You can also try a good body powder and a good deodorant. Mitchum pit stop is worth every penny. Gold Bond and Shower to Shower are great too, both have a generic in the dollar stores to cut costs...sprinkle pits, feet, and groin area before you get dressed. Get a can of generic pit spray to zap your shoes and socks before you wear them or use powder.

if oxiclean doesnt work you have a big problem. that stuff can take the stink out of duty. you should go get looked at. there might be some cling-ons that never got washed out.
