so i've posted before about my dsd moving in. 16, and inherited her dads over performing sweat glands. 

not the best for a young lady, learning (finally) about proper hygiene and such. 

the problem is when i do the laundry, the clean wet clothes, still smell of b.o.  not a "faint" odor either.

i put my nose to the wet arm area, and it was a "woah, baby" not good. 

i have tried a better quality detergent, and it's improved. 

would spot treating help? although there are no pit stains. 

any suggestions? pre soak maybe? 

dh seems to think dryer sheets or some such thing is going to help. but... what is the point of adding something to the dryer when the clothing still is not fresh smelling?

Perhaps baking soda in the wash would help.

I know some people get Botox for overactive sweat glands.

Gain Fireworks in wash treatment.

You could try vinegar in the wash water.

She should see a dermatologist, there are things that can help her.

I've found a product at Wal-Mart that does eliminate odors. It's OUT Workwear Odor Eliminator.

You add it to the dispenser with the detegent. I've tried other such products, and this one really works.

What does her pediatrician say might be causing it?

Add tea tree oil to the wash; also disinfects.

Borax is the answer for removing odors.

Sounds like she needs a better antiperspirant, not just a deodorant.   The one she is using isn't working.

Buy her Mitchum and suggest that she use it faithfully.  Also she needs to shower and change clothing daily..including her bra.

Many teenage girls and boys have this problem until their hormones settle down.  I remember those days when my kids were there.
