Washing detergent that contains bleach for colors
Try Tide with Febreze
soak it in solution of hot boiling water and half a bottle of mistlin cleanser..lavender scent then put in dryer with a few fabric dryer sheets scented
Try putting them in the washer as you normally would and add your detergent and about a cup of vinegar. Let the washer fill up and begin to agitate then turn it off and let them soak for a few hours before turning the washer back on and finishing the cycle.
If you do your washing at a Laundromat, you might try pouring or spraying vinegar on the armpits before you leave the house and then washing them as usual.
Liquid Tide on the area, let stand a few minutes, Tide has enzymes that will digest the odors.
check if the clothes have polyester in them. polyester will not release an odor. if you really love it, try either baking soda or vinegar in your wash.
Never use bleach. It is harmful for your skin and will leave residual on the shirt and poise some implications. I would recommend using sol-u-mel with power to remove such odour. These are made of vinegar and other properties and are very highly effective to remove any stain and odours.
Let me know if you need it.
Perspiration stains really ruin clothes,but before you give up try this, soak in white vinegar (one part vinegar to 4 parts water)leave them in there for at least 1 hour. Then wash as usual.
When you have odors on clothes after they are washed, here's a trick to do, When the rinse cycle is about to start throw in 2 cups of white vinegar and this will remove the odors.
wash your cloths with your laundry detergent either add about 1/2 cup of vinegar with it or use about 1/2 cup of baking soda.let them soak for about 1 hour. let the washer go through the full cycle. then rinse again. while the washer is filling up look in to see if it is making more suds,on the second rinse. sometimes you think your cloths are rinsed but really they still have allot of soap in them. if it is making more suds then rinse again.left over laundry detergent can give you a build up on your cloths not only does it make them smell but it gives them a dull color.good luck.
