Cocona disappointment

dang, i just got an Izod cocona golf shirt on clearance at Belks ($8!). I was hoping it would be good for odor when backpacking, not to mention mad style with its collar which will undoubtedly go well with old gym shorts. I'll report on it when I get to use it real good.

Speaking of synthetic stinks though, I made the mistake of washing a capilene shirt with my normal clothes, and now all my clothes have that awful smell even after several more washings. It was like washing a new red towel with the whites, except i can't play off my clothes as just being pink :(

You can try two things. 1) Add borateem to your regular detergent when you wash your clothes. It might take two tries. I've found this often removes odors.

If that fails, buy pet stain remover liquid (intended to use on animal urine stains on carpet or furniture). Rub the liquid into the clothing (especially the pit area). This has never failed to remove odor from my clothing.

Pamela, thanks for the tip, I'll have to remember that, or maybe I'll use it on my old Ibex top that's no longer suitable for the public.

But I'm not concerned about the stink STAYING in this DriMove top–rather, I'm disappointed that it started stinking in the first place, since Cocona is supposed to be this new wonder-treatment that resists odors so well.

I have two golite drimove cocona tops. My experience has been that if you set the top down for a while or rinse it the smell will go away. I have not really found it to stink up very bad. I do believe some people probably stink up tops more than others based on their body chemistry though.
