Yeah, worst thing is to let them sit. I typically use about a half scoop of Oxyclean in warm water on a short wash cycle - does a great job!
I use Oxycontin on my shirt...wow they feel reeeaallly goooood.

You two taking over until Martha Stewart gets out?
It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it...

Tim -- actually not much. I'm in way over my head at my day job, and don't have much extra time. I stopped in at the last meeting to get my check, and saw you there across the room. I tried to wave, but didn't want Debi to see me, so I snuck out without being social.

Don't even ask about bball...

yeah, i'm surprised this hasn't come up yet. maybe it's just a combination of the synthetic fabrics and my genetics but i get ripe in these. with 100% cotton, no problem. i love the natural fabric.

but i have a bunch of under armor that i'll wear when i'm not running.

It went great. I worked an all-Asian tournament of college age guys. The games were fun and my Under Armour was splendid.

washing UA and related materials
So I've had my Nike version of the same kinda athletic top, and I'm looking to do laundry. I've lost the tag that came with the shirt, and I'm wondering what I can do/avoid in order to make sure the shirt lasts long and doesn't come out all funky. I've heard something about not using fabric softener, but other than that...nothing. Any recommendations?

thanks,

Jim

I usually wash mine with all my other stuff, but let them air dry on a hanger.

I'm all over the place with this stuff. I have Nike dri-fit v-neck tee shirts, Reebok hydra-move tights, and Under Armour knee high socks.
