  • As ADINA749 said "I wash them" lol I love that reply! Washing them always does it for me as well...

    I wash my workout clothes every day but it still doesn't get the stuck in sweaty funk that is reactivated when you sweat out.

    Exactly!!! I've just discovered that using those Unstoppable scented beads (Gain also makes them) works to get the funk out.

    We brought some antibacterial washing additive to go in with the wash - made by caneston i think. Works amazingly...no more stinky gym clothes or towels.

    I find a scoop of the oxi-clean powder added to the drum before the clothes go in makes all the difference.

    I'm a stickler for natural based detergents so I use Sweat X... It's a newer sport detergent that I found at a local running store and it's got some pretty cool features going for it
    - 100% non-toxic and biodegradable
    - kills BACTERIA and removes just about any stain and odor from your clothes
    - neutral pH - means it safe for even my toddler's sensitive skin
    - AND it's actually cheaper than my old detergent, Seventh Generation, since I don't have to use a large capful for each load

    It's so good that I've been trying to convince my whole running group to switch to it ;)

    The one drawback is that you can't find it at the grocery store :( It's sold either at local running stores or online at www.renegadebrands.com so I always share the coupon code I have as well --- SWX777 for 5% off.
