Let’s face it, our workout clothes can really stink.  I mean not just smell, but really stink.

It’s taken quite a bit of experimentation, but my wife has eventually decided that this Persil laundry detergent, is the absolute best at getting the odors out of my workout clothes. We tried a lot of different products, including some that claimed to be specifically designed for dirty athletic wear, before realizing that none come close to being as good as Persil.

The big test tonight is what impact does the operator have on the process?  My wife is out of the country, enjoying a vacation with our daughter in New Zealand.  So now it’s up to me to get the job done alone. 

It will take me twice as long to complete the process as it takes her.  I’m paranoid about washing stuff on the wrong setting, so I end up reading all the labels.  Then I have to remember which setting to use on the washing machine. I’m confident I’ll get it done, but I really need to help her more with this stuff, so I can get better at it.

The good news is that, even if I don’t do a perfect job, the clothes will just be stinky again after I wear them again later this week.  So there is always that ….
