My DH's Tae Kwon Do uniform is starting to be stinky... it looks clean and even coming out of the dryer smells ok but once he's worn it and sweats a little it just stinks! I've tried using some vinegar in the rinse. Any type of detergent that is good for removing the stinkies? Or would Oxiclean be a good additive? His pants are white so I could easily bleach them but the shirt is red so bleach is a no no.... can't send him in with a pink top! LOL

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

Try SportsWash its great for underarmour football stuff and believe me if it can unstink my 17yr olds football gear it will tackle ANYTHING. Wash it on hot if you can
I got mine at walmart in the hunting/camping section

Thanks! I remembered hearing the name Sport-wash on these boards before... I think maybe in a Cloth diaper thread? I think I will give it a try! This uniform wreaks when he puts it into the laundry hamper after class.... GAG! DO they sell it at Target? My closest walmart is a 30 minute drive.... If not Target then maybe I will call Sports Chalet... they might have it!

I was going to recommend Sport Wash too. I haven't actually tried it, but have heard good things. I'm not sure where to get it (maybe try looking it up on their website?) but you could try a local running store. I know mine carries it!

I'd try Oxyclean, for sure - but I am an oxyclean addict and use a scoop in every load. (But FWIW, my husband and I are both runners and our workout clothes stay pretty fresh.)

Our Dicks Sporting Goods carries it so sports chalet may also....

Another Sport Wash user here. It is also sold under the name "Sensi Clean."
