Soluble asprin in the wash, 2 of them. You have to act quickly though or they won't shift the yellow patch.

Is this a "What is the best deoderant?" thread.

Get a better deodorant.

Rub in a paste of borax and leave to dry before washing?

I get that with dp's t-shirts, still stink after washing! I find doing them at 60 with every powder known to man (borax or vanish etc) every few washes sorts them out.

You'll find borax in Tesco in with the natural cleaning stuff.

Pre-wash! I know it's not very "green" but it does do the trick when tops go all icky round the pits.

yes pre wash and vanish

and I hardly ever use that softener stuff but it does help with smelly issues

getting trapped on the tube/train tends to have this effect too. Is not fun! (also, there was a thread last year about a v good anti perspirant I think)

gawd, I feel sorry for you for when it starts getting even hotter if it is like that now!

need a drink in the freezer overnight for your desk maybe

white vinegar does work, and you can use it on things like silk and cashmere

TurkeyLurkey · 09/05/2008 21:31

I have soaked my tops in soda crystals (dirt cheap from wilkos or most supermarkets), then washed as normal. It has brought out any dubious smells, its fantastic stuff. You can also just add a scoop in your washing machine to keep them fresh. don't use it on stuff that might run or is really dark though.

59p a bag and its brilliant!

DixiePixie · 09/05/2008 21:34

So what do you do with the white vinegar? How much do you use?
