I have some Nike Dri-Fit shirts, i cant get the gym smell out of them. These are the only shirts I have issues with. Anyone have a fix?

After you wash them try leaving them in the sun for a full 2 days. Believe it or not this worked for mine.

Add a cap full of bleach to your wash. Or better yet add a cup of vinager to your wash. Smell will be gone. Vinegar gets the smell of urine out of clothes. I know because I used to take care of people who were paralyzed and unfortunately thier family members were less then compassionate for them.

Thanks for the replies. Gonna try the leaving out in the sun first, then the vinegar. If those dont work will try the bleach. Thanks all!

use half a scoop of oxyclean along with detergent in your wash. It works amazing.

**goinglong** · 08-21-2011, 12:51 AM

I use Penguin Wash. It keeps the moisture wicking qualities in the fabric.

Baking soda we use it on our hunting clothes.Use a whole small box.

**JDawg1536** · 08-22-2011, 12:59 AM

We got a whole order of shirts that smelled like mildew. It took a couple washes but the oxyclean works well.

**terraj** · 08-22-2011, 01:07 AM

use pine o'clean disinfectant, a couple of table spoons in the washer....kills the smells and germs

All you guys will make wonderful house wives someday to some good chap.

Ill dont care what gets used, if it stinks after it's washed I throw it at the woman and tell her to do it right. LOL

Once any of my shirts get to that point, which seems to be often, its straight in the garbage can.

x2, they are done at that stage if you ask me

***FireGuy*** · 08-22-2011, 03:53 PM

^^Yep, if my own smell is bothering me then I know it must really be bad for anyone else!

You know me all to well. Yup, 9 cameras outside and 4 inside. LOL
You dont have to do it disrespectfully but let them know they arent doing it right and need to do it again. Women like it when they think they have done a good job.

Hell I bought the washer, whatever soap she wants to use and I dont even make her hang it outside anymore to dry so at least she can do it make sure it's washed good or Ill put the clothes line back up. LOL
