I use my soap on the clothes and then hang them up to drip dry or I use my clothesline outside if it's sunny. Saves water and I have had no problems with smelly clothes ever. I bet it's those of you who take your kit after a ride and put it in the clothes hamper or basket and it sits there all wet and sweaty that have the smell issue.

I have never had a smelly synthetic jersy.I also wash the sweat out of my helmet straps IMMEDIATELY after every ride - I wash it in the utility sink in the garage and hang it on a towel rack over the sink to drip dry over night. Result is my helmet straps smell as fresh as the day I bought my helmet. I wash my jersey, shorts and socks by hand in the bathroom sink – IMMEDIATELY after every ride with baby shampoo.

It's a trick used by dog breeders to kill the smell of dog droppings. It has no probs in removing body sweat. Any washing powder with enzymes will remove all biological agents that cause odours.

The polyester jerseys retains odor. Puttig on a freshly washed jersey and sweating just mildly seems to "activate" the smell of past rides. Is there any magic brand of soap that eliminates that effect?Thanks, I agree with Chris on stinky jerseys. The polyester jerseys retains odor.
