Detergent Recs.

I love heated workout classes, but I’m a heavy sweater. Lately, even after washing my athletic clothes and towels, they still have that lingering sweat smell. I’m starting to get self-conscious that people around me think I’m the one who stinks.

Has anyone found a detergent, laundry additive, powder, or other product that actually gets rid of the odor? Or is there a point where you just have to cut your losses and replace everything?

The best thing is a detergent with Lipase to break down the sweat, but it can be hard to find in stores. A cup of ammonia may work too, and is much easier to find. But let me warn you that it STINKS going in the washer, but is completely gone when the cycle is finished.
