    some materials just react with the skin that way... hope it doesnt happen when you wear it again, i know i had two different colour tops in the same material and everytime i wore them i stunk... it was a cotton polyester blend....

    Hi Jennie13, thanks for the tip about the Bicarb, just curious, would I try and form a paste and rub it into the shirt, or wet the shirt and rub in??!??!

    The bicarb paste may work, but if it is a poly/cotton blend, then may not. I have had tops like that and had to throw them, as the moment I got just a bit warm they would go stinky again and had tried bicarb on them.

    I was given the tip to use mouthwash on my skin, and I have used it on a shirt with a similar issue. It kills the bacteria that causes the odour, has worked for me xx

    I had this problem with a light cottony shirt last summer. A hot water soak in the enzyme-boosted napisan (actully it was the aldi one) fixed it.
