| I'm on a work trip this week and have been diligently working out most days. Great, right? Except now I have an ever-growing pile of super smelly gym clothes, and don't really know what to do with them until go back home in 4 days. Any suggestions? Will it hurt them if I bundle them up in a plastic bag to contain the smell? |

| I hang the gym clothes on the back of the bathroom door to dry, and then throw them in a pile in the corner of the bathroom. I bag them up in the hotel laundry plastic bag for the trip home. They are still smelly, but when they are dry, they don't get funkier like they would if they were wet in a plastic bag for four days. |

| I do this, too, but then my whole bathroom stinks because I am a very stinky sweater! |

| I am a very heavy sweater and work out every day. I rinse my workout clothes while I shower, wring them out, then hang them to dry during the day. When they're dry, I put them in the plastic hotel laundry bag and tighten the drawstring. I pack that bag in a separate section of my suitcase. |

I do this, too. Sometimes even washing the smellier items with a little dab of good-smelling shampoo... |

Me, three. I've tried different options over the years, and this one definitely seems the least smelly. |

My husband takes detergent with him and washes his workout clothes in the sink and hangs them to dry. Since they're made of wicking material they dry quickly. He found this from REI which works for him

No, not in business hotels and higher end hotels. They have laundry service. |

Go to a dive shop (scuba divng). They have stuff in a small bottle that you can put your swim stuff in and leave to soak for a little while in the sink. Wring it out, hang to dry and your good to go.
I will find the brand name when I get home and post it. Works great. ~N~ |
