Thanks for various tips and ideas. I had to wash a NB t-shirt twice recently after I'd been wearing it all weekend at a mountain marathon

swittle
Based on start line experience, I suspect that some of the whiff *may* be generated by competitors skipping a shower beforehand... :-o

Soak in white vinegar / water solution before washing ... forget where I read that but it works for me.

Will try the bicarb thing next .....

Halo worked really well on my stinky kit plus Sainsburys sell it which is a bonus.

Mrs Star would never let me put my stinky kit in the freezer.
Have Halo, will wear it. Fantastic stuff. Kit like new! Bows down before the Gods and Goddesses of Fetch.

Ooh, will have to invest in this Halo, it's horrid when you think your kit is clean and then you start ponging the second it heats up :)

Smelly kit in a bag in the freezer should be allowed by Mrs Star, I did this to a pair of shoes once and it worked a treat..thank goodness for Google for strange tips ;)

There's definitely not enough room in my freezer for trainers!
