Makes them ineffective </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-738335 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:34 +0000 oceanbee59 738335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: thanks!!! I will give that a go!</p> <p>@.twist.: some are brand new, luckily I don't have a dryer so I haven't used heat on them which I think would make it harder to get out</p> <p>@MerryC: thanks! I tried vinegar last night, ill have a run tonight in one of the shirts and see if it worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-738018 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:24:30 +0000 Ra 738018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oceanbee59: I have the same problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737839 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:55:49 +0000 twinmama 737839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vinegar works for me. Make sure you aren't using fabric softener for your workout clothes too. That can essentially clog the technical fabric and make them not breathe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737745 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:18:15 +0000 .twist. 737745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old are the clothes that are getting like this? are they new or old? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737736 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:16:03 +0000 Penny Lane 737736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oceanbee59: you're in nz right? nappysan or sard oxyplus are both kind of like oxyclean. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737648 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:37:48 +0000 oceanbee59 737648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am absolutely going to try it all. What an embarrassing problem! Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737083 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:46:49 +0000 IRunForFun 737083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vinegar. Half a cup would be plenty. Don't use it every wash load because it can start to corrode the stainless steel a bit over time, but with your exercise clothes, definitely add a bit of vinegar, it'll get the smell out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737066 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:38:28 +0000 ShootingStar 737066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use vinegar in a downy ball. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-737010 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:14:18 +0000 birdofafeather 737010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would try washing soda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-736168 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:42:27 +0000 Alivoo01 736168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe try washing with some baking soda? It should help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-735866 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:44:46 +0000 oceanbee59 735866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one! I love oxyclean but can't find it where I live now. Ill try the cleaner that sounds similar tho, hopefully it'll give similar results, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-735849 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:16:15 +0000 blackbird 735849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use oxy clean or tide sport on my gym clothes when they get like this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-question#post-735825 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:52:53 +0000 oceanbee59 735825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if this is the right board, and I posted this on WB too... but I hope someone else has had the same problem and has some advice!</p> <p>OK - this is an embarassing problem but whatever. I keep finding that shirts I've sweat in, come out of the wash smelling fine. But at the first hint of body heat wearing them again, the armpits start to STINK, even if I'm not sweating in them. So basically all of my exercise clothes smell as soon as I put them on, even after washing! A quick google search brings tons of suggestions, but I want to hear what bees have used that has worked. Thanks! </p>
