If you are like Jurrassic and me, we will from time to time.....have a brown pop with our partners reflecting on the love and adoration we received from the fans that night....so sometimes, it may be a few hours before I can get said wet clothes to the washing machine. And if I do, thats midnight so it sits in there after the cycle another 6-8 hours adding another level of opportunity to sit there all wet.

And I think therein lies the problem.

So, this isnt so much about buying new stuff every couple weeks.

I am friends with a bunch of refs and I KNOW yall dont go out buying new stuff every month!

Just don't spill too much-o-dat on the uni.

Well then there's that! Actually, it works great at sports bars - they think we are wait staff so we just fill our own mugs!

When the fans yell, "Hey, Ref, you stink!", you can smile and say, "As a matter of fact, I do!"

Borax has always worked for me, so I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe do more? Put it on soak for a couple hours?

My teenager has the funk problem and I just try to be sure to get to it right away, and then use borax. For his socks, though, I will put in detergent, borax and then leave it on soak/rinse cycle for two hours. That seems to do the trick.

What about carrying a bottle of Spray N Wash with you in your bag, and spraying your shirt as soon as you take it off? For pre-wash, I prefer Shout brand. Maybe try both brands?
