smelly gym clothes...yuck!



Lately my husband has been working out A LOT!! I mean average of 5 hours a day A LOT. His routine is usually combatives for 3 hrs either in the am or pm and then 2 other trips to the gym once for cardio and once for weight lifting. Since he goes at 3 separate times during the day that means he has 3 separate yucky smelly gym outfits per day. Hubs sweats like a pig and it stinks awfully bad...trust me its awful! Well he use to put his smelly gym clothes in the regular basket not thinking anything of it and it would make my nice clothes stink badly. Well now I make him put them in a separate basket in the other room so I dont have to smell them. I wish we had a washer and dryer in our apartment cause I would make him wash them each day but nope that is not the case. So since I am sooooo busy I wash clothes once a week which wow his gym clothes are sour and disgusting after that week. Well last week hubs was complaining how his gym clothes always smelled once they were washed...NO BIG SURPRISE THERE!! Anywho I did a whole lot of research to figure out how to get the smell out of the clothes and I pretty sure I found it...its simple baking soda. Who would have thought something so simple and easy, I thought I was going to have to buy some super expensive magical stuff to get the smell out. I put a half of a box of the baking soda in the washer along with the oxyclean I love so dearly and wooohooo they dont smell as of now. They were just out of the dryer so tomorrow could be another story.

Do any of you have any household tricks you would like to share with me???
