Workout Clothes Wash

[sparrow]

Hey All:

About six months ago I saw an enzyme laundry product at either Dick's or Sports Authority, designed specifically to clean sweat and grime from workout clothes. I
didn't pick it up then and now can't find it. Anyone know what this might have been?

TIA!

Never knew they made such a thing.
I don't dry my workout wear because it is so expensive.
I will keep my eyes open when i am at dick's.
If i find it i will let you know.

I think I found a solution--Oxypowder. I washed some of my smelly clothes in it this w/e & they came out fresh as a daisy.

Seems to me like the problem is in all these lycra/spandex blends. My KOS USA & Nina Bucci clothes stink to high heaven after I've used them a few months. On the other hand, I have some cotton/spandex yoga pants from Old Navy that I've owned for years & they still smell good.
