    Stinky clothes

    I am not much of a domestic so need some help with my clothes problem. I have some really stinky clothes that I can't seem to get the smell out of. They are clothes that I wear for exercise or at work. They have that stinky sweat smell that I cant stand and I need help!!
    I want to be as environmetally friendly as possible as well so solutions along those lines are very welcome!

    Add a cup of vinegar and about 10 drops of lavender oil to your wash, then wash again as normal. I normally use lavender disinfectant which works the same. The reason sweat smells is due to bacteria that grows on the skin, which is why if you wash your arm pits every so often with antibacterial gel it will stop the smell. Or buy an antibacterial soap.

    I use vinegar for my scrubs from work and it works wonderfully. Sometimes I use a few drops of lavender oil like Cai suggested
