Need Help with Smell

I have several running tops (fitted tanks with built in bra) that smell musty, even after washing? Any ideas on how to freshen them up?

Allow them to soak overnight in warm water and baking soda...i've had this problem before too!0

wash with at least warm if not hot water and use a small amount of fabric softener to help get rid of the smell...also, wash them more often. I ran into the same problem with my bras and had to start washing them after every use. I have a lot of them now :happy:0

I let them air out and let the sweat dry before I wash them. I don't know of that's what helps with the smell, but it's something that I have always done. I also use warm water when I wash them.0

vinegar is great for removing odors. i always throw about a cup of it in my load of towels to remove stale odor0

I use vinegar also....and not just for the sweaty clothes, towels, sheets etc. It also helps to hang them outside in the sun after washing if you have access.0

Another vote for vinegar (white distilled?). Usually, I'll put the workout clothes in the washer and let it fill up, then stop cycle. Then poor in some vinegar and let it soak for 15+ minutes (usually 2 hours because I go do something else LOL). Then, dump in detergent and some other clothes if any, shut the lid and let the cycle complete.
Come out good as gold.
I don't use fabric softener(or dryer sheets) with the workout clothes because it sometimes can feel and/or smell weird with the synthetics and sweat.0 -
Thanks all. I'll try to get smell-free this week. Bet I double my number of wearable running tops.0
