Gym clothes detergent

Discussion

The fashion sub isnt really the subreddit i thought it was and i think this is still covered by hygiene.

I work out frequently and my gym clothes have been smelling like sweat even when freshly laundered. I’ve been using snr’s liquid detergent and fabcon for all my clothes - cotton or polyester blends. My cotton clothes smell good pero the polyester ones smells like a well used gym 🥲 How do you guys prevent your gym clothes from stinking?? I tried soaking it in color safe bleach after use pero the lingering smell of sweat and gym is still there 😭 i know it isnt me bec i asked my friends to smell me with normal clothes on and no perfume and they all told me i smelled fine. And my nose only picks up the smell whenever i wear gym attire. 🥲

Help pls i dont wanna be stinky

EDIT: thank you to everyone who answered i will update sa laundry day ko

1/22/26 I tried the vinegar soak and then baking soda soak hack and it kinda works (im going to get more data though to prove this) 😮‍💨 thank u everyone! I’ll do this again to all my workout clothes next week. Will also change detergents once im done with my snr brand stock!
