I get the no heat part--it makes the stink worse, "burns" it
in...besides, synthetics dry so fast on a hanger, using a dryer is a
waste of electricity.

Why no fabric softener?  I thought that was just a "marker agent" so
other women can distinguish other womens' husbands from unmarried men.

Sink-the-Stink works pretty well.  I've heard of others having good
luck with Febreeze on stinky polypro and neoprene.  Anyone try both and
have a preference?
