How to get rid of the sweat smell from a tee

oneweb

Two of my nice t-shirts have a horrible smell after I've worn them for just an hour so I've resorted to wearing them at home. I use anti-perspirant and don't go running marathons or anything exerting.

I've tried soaking the armpits in vinegar and thorough wash cycle to no avail.

All my other t-shirts are fine, but I like how these 2 look so hopefully can do something to save them! Any (useful) ideas?

[edit] Just to add I can wear all my other tees all day without them smelling bad, so it must be whatever material they're made of!

Bread soda is great for absorbing odours so I'd try soaking them in a water/bread soda mix. Put a couple of handfuls of bread soda in a basin of water.

If this doesn't happen with other t-shirts, then the problem is not your body chemistry. If this happens even after they are freshly washed, then it's not a laundry problem.

Do they contain polyester or other synthetic materials? That would be my guess. I have that problem with t-shirts that are made with anything besides 100% cotton.
