Wash them?

I didn't know you were supposed to wash them.

No wonder I can't find sparring partners any more.

Detergent? What's that? You mean you WASH your WO clothes? Wow, what a
novel concept.

You say that like you think it's a bad thing.

OK, I'll bite. What's "nappy cleaner?"

JKD? You're a martial artist?!?

Advice? Stand up in front of your entire MA group, and say, in your best
Richard Simmons voice, "Oh, yoo hoo, fellows, my sweaty sweats are just SO
smelly! What detergent can a girl use?"

JKD jokes aside, if you're a stinky bastard like me you'll need to soak
your gear in nappy cleaner (or some equivalent) every now and again or
it will turn yellow and smell over time.

Oxyclean. Occasionally vinegar.

Maybe you call nappies 'diapers'. I understand that some
of my linguistically different colonial brethren
do this.

So, are you talking dishwashing machine soap, or dish soap? I would
think that dish soap (for washing in the sink) might make too many suds
for the clothes washing machine.

Try anti-bacterial dishwashing soap. We use it when the workout clothes
here, especially the synthetic fabrics (lycra, spandex, etc.) get
stinky, and it works great. Just use it instead of your normal laundry
soap for a load of wash - good to leave the clothes soak a bit in the
stuff as well. Sometimes we wash them a second time with regular
laundry soap immediately afterwards.

I really wish I didn't know the answer to that question.

Nappy is an off planet term for diapers.

Actually it's the diminutive of the English word napkin, which is
indeed an English diaper.

Pamper yourself Lee!
