How do you get the stink out of your gym clothes? (midwest.social)

I've always had this problem, haven't tried very hard to solve it, just assumed it was permanent.

Some stink is unsolvable, but I found that adding white vinegar to my laundry, where the fabric softener would normally go, helps prevent it from forming.

Cheap vodka has helped some set in stink, go buy a big bottle of the cheapest vodka you can find, and soak the gym clothes in it.

Same as the above, this right here is what I’d recommend: vinegar. I actually have been adding vinegar for years to my workout laundry, and there’s been no stink. I can’t use anything like softener or detergents that aren’t “free” and “clear” due to skin allergies, so my options are pretty limited otherwise.
