Hey, thanks for this article. Very complete and some tricks I hadn’t heard. I always just threw mine in the washer and was done with it. I’ll have to try the vinegar!

the ammonia smell is not from bacteria, it’s from ammonia

your body produces this when you excerciz and the body doesn’t have enough accessible carbohydrates and fat to power the body and strips the Nitrogen off from amino acids in your muscles and uses it to make glucose

[...] links to my blog in general will be fine, but links to specific articles, such as to my primer on Washing the Gi (and removing funk) will be broken. I can’t at this time see a way around it. Sorry! [...]

k. heick – depending on how bad it is, you might need to soak it overnight. Unlike bleach, the vinegar won't kill the fabric. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!

"If your gi smells like ammonia, vinegar won’t help. You’ll need something to counteract the acidic nature of the ammonia your sweat produces."
The above is incorrect. Ammonia is in fact a base, and not an acid. Ammonia smells are produced by base loving bacteria, and vinegar is, in fact, exactly what you need to kill the bacteria and eliminate that smell.
