Vinegar is an excellent, cheap replacement for fabric softener. That blue stuff (I mean fabric softener like Downy) seems harmless enough, but it will ruin wicking material and it also will eventually clog the line out from the washer. We've used nothing but vinegar for the past few years after a washer repairman swore by it. We buy gallons of it at a time at Costco.

Cameron, I'll try the sport detergent, though, as I feel maybe the wicking material isn't wicking as well as I'd like. Do you foresee any problems using it for the entire uniform? I tend to wash my entire uniform (shirt, pants, undershirt, tights, socks) in one load and usually was no more than 2 uniforms at a time (I work at home and laundry is easy to do in the background).

Should work fine.

Thank you for all of the advices given. I'll look at all of them and start with the cheaper options first and work my way up until I can find a solution (if I do find one). I do appreciate all of the comments. Thanks again.

Each week I invest in my laundry services by handing over a game fee to my wife. She gets some walking around money, I don't have to deal with laundry, Works well for me.

Does she contract out? My wife gets the mail and, well, there go virtually all the game fees.

Is that like when Steve Martin's cat used to cash his checks?

You could claim this on your income tax as a business expense, but then your wife would have to claim this as income.

I would not trust anyone to do my laundry. I would be to afraid they would screw it up. It is not like it takes a long time. And if you have one of those new washer and dryers, man that is like stealing. Some of you are getting hustled.

Peace

The quandary I always have as I stand before the washer with my ref shirt.....is it a white or a dark?? Some of you more domesticated types please help:

I am lucky to have someone to do my laundry, usually before I'm done with my first cup of coffee in the morning. I have two uniforms and had no need to drag the second one out until I worked two games in a day.

She who does the laundry (my live-in MIL) does my uniforms separately and washes everything together. No fabric softener, quick wash, minimal detergent. I mean, it's not like we're rolling around in the mud in these uniforms.

Yes, it is.

Purchase Officials has them 2 for $33 if you don't want to use OC.

Time to retire your lucky shirt. Maybe frame it and hang it over the mantle.

No thanks. I'd rather deal with Purchase and pay an extra $4 a shirt.
