Remove odor from uniforms with baking soda.

Sports uniforms endure a lot of wear and tear as sweat and body odor transfer to the uniform during game play. To keep the uniforms both looking and smelling clean, it is important to incorporate cleaning elements that also deodorize the uniforms. Luckily, this can be done with natural and nontoxic cleaning ingredients that are probably already on hand in your kitchen cupboard.
