Some of my clothes seem to honk around the pits even after washing (bike tops, gym tops, even some work shirts) and also have deodorant stains. The trouble is I can only wash most of them at 40 degrees. Can anyone recommend some good antibacterial soap or washing powder that’s good at low temps?

I think napisan is quite common.

Halo Sportswash (from Wiggle if you can’t find it in a supermarket)

Use a biological powder & give them a long wash. Or soak first.

Ariel/Vanish/Tesco all make some powder you add to the wash to kill bugs.

Halo +1

If you have kids, I’ve found that it works very well on sick, shit and piss. Oh and cat piss. Which is nice.

In fact, I need to buy some more as that’s what it’s all been used on.

Alternatively, Vanish powder has a green ‘extra hygene’ option which works well too.

Halo +1, much cheaper from Sainsburys.

Yep, Halo has done wonders for the Olifactory acceptableness of my bike kit.

Have you considered,

Shaving your jersey? Is that a euphemism?

I know that if my kit is growing hairs, it’s probably due a wash

Can’t seem to find Halo wash anywhere these days, anyone know anywhere?
