SWEAT - Help! How do you get rid of the smell from clothes?

He puts everything - dark and light items - in together, and probably overloads the machine too, then does a 30 degree wash, so that's probably the reason. He does use deodorant and does not have noticeable BO. I think I will try to get him to wear t Shirts with collars instead of shirts, but he is rather old fashioned fashion wise. I only see him about 3 times a year as we don't live near to each other, and I try to put his flat in order a bit while I am there. He is married but his wife is in a care home and he spends all his spare time with her, for him 'home is where the heart is' and it's not in his flat!

Yes starbird use salt when wet - see my earlier post.

If he's exerting himself manually, by the afternoon he will sweat. Can he not take a sponge or baby wipes to work, wash, dry then deodorise?

You don't wear the salt

Chuck it away - it's passed its 'use by date'!

Slightly different as not offering a solution to 'smelly armpits'. But do agree with 'Nelliemoser' products like Dettol are not doing us any favours eliminating all bacteria!!! That's one reason why kids have so many allergies nowadays - they are not allowed to get dirty!!!! My Mum used to say 'you have to eat a peck (of dirt) before you die' and I so agree!!

I'm a fan of Dettol laundry liquid too! Fantastic for when you have delicate underwear that you can't hotwash, or if anyone has a sicky bug! I don't use anti bacterial sprays etc but this is one product that I do use on a small amount of washing. X

Nelliemoser - what shysal means is not antibacterial cleaning sprays it's a specific antibacterial laundry product made by Dettol.

I used a Napisan or equivalent soak for my gym clothes, then washed in the machine with other clothing, as normal. I always used deodorant, but a normal wash will not remove the smell of sweat completely. However, once the oestrogen levels drop, I find I no longer need to use deodorant, ie we are all different at different times of our lives.
