It's not directly body odor.. its more the smell of the synthetic fibers that I seem to be sensitive to and the fact that front loaders have a generally shit design with the rubber gasket trapping moisture and kid socks and mildewing. I'm generally responsible enough to check the gasket and clean it out after use but I have 4 people from 12 to 70 doing laundry in my house and the likelihood of "someone" leaving a load in long enough to mildew approaches unity in any two-week period. A cup of vinegar eliminates most any residual odor from piss-soaked kid bedding to the weird synthetic chamois in my riding bibs to the dog bed cover. It's a one stop shop lol. I agree with you about using quality detergent; I feel the same way about house paint! it's worth spending the extra money!

edit: i just realized that my work computer is signed into a different account .. but tis I Boonestafa!

One LPT for front loaders, leave the door open after washing to let the washer fully dry out for a day or so. Helps big time keeping the funkiness down.
