Question for martial arts families
Here's a laundry question for those with someone that does martial arts in the family. My husband must have about 10 gis (uniforms) that completely take over the laundry room. They also stink really bad both after he wears them and after they are supposedly clean from the laundry. Even after washing them, they seem to have a rotten water like smell and they stink up the entire laundry room. We've tried adding a little bit of Tide febreeze but it still doesn't seem to do the trick. Do you have any tips to share on how they make them smell clean and/or what you do to store them? I got creative and hung a shower curtain pole from above the door to the opposite wall to hang them on for drying, but they are so big and thick that they take over everything. They are also pretty stiff and hard to fold. Thanks!
Re: Question for martial arts families
Not sure if it would help with your H's uniforms, but I was having trouble with my H's (basketball?) shorts. I found recommendations online to dump some baking soda in the wash with them and it really helped freshen them up.
Good luck!
Are you cleaning out your washing machine? If it's a front loader those can smell like mildew quite easily and then pass the stench on to the clothing. Regardless of it being a top or front loader, I'd find your machine's owner's manual and read about how to clean its inside. Then, be sure to leave its door open after use so it dries completely.
Are these white gis? If so, what about bleach?
I know it isn't customary for a martial artist to wear things under the gis, but could he try something to help absorb sweat before it gets to the gis material?
