First, rinse stains for 15 seconds with cool water to dilute trapped salts and acids (also do this for shirts you send out for laundering; let air-dry). Work in some enzyme-containing liquid laundry detergent; let it sit for 15 minutes. Wash in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric, with fabric-safe bleach. De-stink: Sweat itself is odorless, but bacteria on your skin make it stinky, and fabrics then absorb and trap these smells. Combat mild odors by adding a cup of baking soda each to your machine&amp;#039;s wash and rinse cycles. For a stubborn stench, dilute three tablespoons of salt (to help kill bacteria) in a quart of warm water and soak the garment for at least one hour, then rinse and wash as usual. Make it easier next time... Don&amp;#039;t glob on antiperspirant; let it dry before you dress. Or, apply it the night before (it&amp;#039;ll last, even through soaping in the shower \u2014 though it&amp;#039;s best not to shave).
