Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Borax works very well, as does lemon scented dish washing detergent (Lemon Fresh Dawn is the champ). You cannot put dish detergent in a washing machine because it foams like crazy and can damage the pump, but a presoak in a tub with a bit of hand agitation, followed by a rinse and normal machine wash works very well.

There's also a product called sink the stink sold in dive shops, which is made to de-stink wetsuits which are probably the world's champs at getting funky.
