I have a few shirts that I have been wearing for hockey and baseball that smell bad. Like I stated, like crabs. Nasty. I wear them and all, they become 100% saturated with sweat, I either wear them home from my baseball game or they come home in my hockey bag.

They do not linger long at my home. Typically as soon as I get them home they go into the washer and are washed. I have a Kenmore Elete washer, use the Tide liquid and add the Downy fabric softener. Wash warm normal cycle. Pretty much as soon as the washer is done, they are put into the dryer.

When removed from the dryer, I note the smell still attached. WTF?

The shirts are of Nike and Under Armour brands. The Nike shirts are either the basic Dry-Fit material or the Pro line with the flat seams. UA is standard short sleeve shirt.

Since most are non-white, I can't bleach them. I think they are loaded with bacteria and therefore reek. I'm too cheap to replace - some are less than 2 months old.

Any advice?

Maybe a freezer? The pool with chlorine?
