- Vinegar destroys odors the best in my experience. Pour some in with your usual laundry routine. Can get jugs of concentrated vinegar from the hardware store or cleaning aisle in the supermarket, cheaper than food grade. I have rescued disgusting moldy clothing from a flooded basement this way (don't mix with bleach, you'll get tear gas)
- Presoaking your clothes in hot water and small amount of detergent (and/or borax) prior to washing once in a while for a deep clean. Also gets rid of deodorant/antiperspirant buildup in the armpit areas of your shirts. Google "laundry presoaking" or "laundry stripping"
Vinegar works so astoundingly well for laundry odors that I've never felt the need to try enzyme or oxy cleaners.
(However, I've used enzyme cleaners for pet accidents on carpets to great success)
