I remember 1 shirt was so bad but I liked it a lot, I had to treat the underarms w/ stain remover & wash it repeatedly before it was safe to wear again. also, for a while I was washing bike, gym & grungy 2nd construction job work clothes separately from my office works clothes. if your machine has a 2nd rinse option you might try that. but if something still has an odor after 1 washing try washing it 2 or 3 times before wearing it & see if that helps. I won't get into personal hygiene but obviously the cleaner our body is the cleaner our sweat will be. but what we eat has some effect. I remember I had to photo a wedding & I was on a no carb diet & I ate a can of tuna for breakfast. since I sweat so much, in that situation, I carried a small washcloth to wipe my face occasionally while I worked. during the wedding, I noticed it smelling like fish! eek!
I have noticed that my sweat stink from a hard bike ride is totally different that the stink from just working in the yard and regular sweat. Man I smell terrible after hard exercise.
