Smelly running kit

[moreteensthansense]

Any top tips? I’ve tried specialist sports kit detergent but I’m wondering if I need a good old bio powder maybe. Or does one just have to replace the kit when it stops getting fresh?

I would try Dettol Laundry Cleanser

Vanish Whites powder is very effective too- very hot water and soak the clothes for a couple of hours

I don’t have any advice for the kit you have now.

If you buy new kit, then in future always fully rinse in cold water prior to putting in the washing machine.

Another vote for the laundry cleanser - DH’s gym stuff has been cured by that. I’ve always used bio powder o it but it still smelled after washing with that. It’s stopped with the cleanser. We use Morrisons own brand now, which works as well as the Dettol and is cheaper.

Thanks, all. I have just bought new kit so I will soak it in the future, and I’ve ordered the dettol detergent. Hopefully the combo will keep me fragrant!
