What is the best laundary detergent to use on my teenage son's cloths that smell sour?

Even though he washes his own cloths every week, but from his sweat and other odors that he comes into contact with at his landscaping job his cloths still smell sour %26amp; stink. What is a good laundary detergent to use to get all the smells out?What is the best laundary detergent to use on my teenage son's cloths that smell sour?
Yuck!- I know what smell you're talking about. My son played football and those practice clothes are the absolute worst.





I put in a cup of baking soda w/each load of stinky clothes and it really helped. I tried switching detergents, using Clorox 2 and other products and the only thing that worked was the baking soda. If you can, let the washer tub fill, then let the clothes soak for at least 30 minutes- I found that really helped.What is the best laundary detergent to use on my teenage son's cloths that smell sour?
Tide with Bleach is the best.


You can use it to pretreat the stains.


Allow the clothes to presoak.


Wash hot - rinse cold.
You may have to do them daily instead of waiting for a full load.
Add a cup of white vinegar in the final rinse.:)
I use Tide with Bleach (color safe) AND liquid fabric softener AND dryer sheets. That'll work!


Mrs. D
It may not be the detergent. He may be overloading. Teens are always in a hurry, and are known to do this. Why not try a load yourself to see if this is the problem. If not use a cup of vinegar in final rinse.
Tide with FeBreeze, also add a cup of vinegar to each load. Bless his heart for doing his own wash. What a great kid!!
Does he put his dirty work clothes into a hamper and then wash them at the end of the week? If so, put a box of baking soda in the hamper....that will help deoderize them.





You could also try adding a little baking soda to the wash when you do wash them. Other than that, I have not found a good laundry detergent that really gets bad odors out.
ANything with a scent -just add baking soda to the laudry machine -about 1/2 cup for a med load of laundry
