I don't know how many of you have had this problem but when using clothing that have technical fibers in them (polyster micro-fiber weaves) they start to retain a stench and become less effective over time. I've been wearing the same sports clothing for about two years and it got to the point where the clothing would stink a little bit right after a wash and dry. As soon as I start playing in them the stench would get pretty bad and by the end of the night I was became quite self conscious. The stench as pretty noticeable. My wife would refuse to even get near me after a 4 hour session of table tennis. Sports clothing is expensive to buy and here in the U.S you can easily spend $200 for about 3 or 4 sets of sports clothing. So in order to combat this problem I gave sport suds a try. It's quite expensive for a detergent so I use it exclusively for sports clothing only and wash the clothing only once a week. The stuff is amazing, after one wash the odor is reduced by at least 70%. After the second week of using it, the odor is completely gone and I no longer reek after a long session. The clothing also seems to have a much easier time wicking sweat and generally seems like it behaves as if it were new. If you wash once a week a $20 bag (from Amazon.com) will last you 40 weeks. That's about $.50 a week. Certainly it is cheaper than having to replace your sports clothing every 2 years (That, for me would be around $100/year). I highly recommend this product if you want to restore your sports clothing! Make sure to follow the prep instructions. They recommend that you do two loads of double concentration to clean out your washer to get rid of the years of detergent build up. ------------- Forehand: Hurricane 3 Provincial #20 sponge Backhand: Rakza 7 Max Blade: Xiom Aria |

I use a Sport Wash that I get at Walmart for my Table Tennis apparel and rain coats. It does not leave any residue and keeps there wicking and doesn't cause any fading. Regular laundry detergent screw up polyester and gortex fabric. ------------- Shifter |

You should become a tellsell employee. This really looked like one of their billion sale commercials. However im happy it worked for you! ------------- Blade: Viscaria FH: Dignics 05 2.1 BH: ABS 2 pro |

No idea what tellsell is. I live in the US :-). Sorry if it came off like a commercial, I was just very happy that I did not have to drop $200 US on new clothes because they started smelling so horribly. ------------- Forehand: Hurricane 3 Provincial #20 sponge Backhand: Rakza 7 Max Blade: Xiom Aria |
