Sweaty clothes washing tips

Dh and I wash gym clothes as quick as possible after using, in hot water and sometimes do an pre wash too but... They still seem to be sweaty. We use non bio powder. Any tips on how to get them fresh smelling?

bio powder?

You need bio - or add Napisan to the wash.

A capful of dettol - don't knock it 'til you've tried it...

yes to bio powder.
our sports stuff gets washed at 40 with bio powder (liquid doesn't cut it) and when that isn't enough after a few washes I add dettol disinfectant to the last rinse.
don't use conditioner on sports clothes, it buggers up the elastics and breathing properties of the fabric and makes them smell more.
