How do I get rid of nasty smells on t- shirts and blouses under the arms. I Use bio powder at 40 as this is what label says and have tried washing them repeatedly but smells remain. Any advice? Anyone else had this prob?

Well, I have to inform you, that no detergent gets out B.O. you must treat this with one cup of White Vinegar wash in hottest water the garments can handle on full cycle do not add any detergent or fabric softner as you will interfer with vinegars removal of body odor process, Vinegar will remove stains and odors and residues left by detergents so if you also have stains you can pretreat with undiluted vinegar allow to sit for a few hours then wash as directed above.

Spray underarm areas liberally with antibacterial febreeze before washing. Works a treat.
