Answer 1

Lysol Laundry Sanitizer.

Pre-soak your workout clothes, windbreakers, and other synthetics for 1-2 hours. Then rinse and wash normally. Rotate LLS into the fabric softener drawer when you wash these things in the future.

We soaked our “clean” sheets and towels, too. The water was disgusting. We’ve been using vinegar for years, but it wasn’t working anymore.
