Remove the Smell From Workout Clothes

Tried everything to get the smell out of your activewear clothing?

Your laundry detergent may be the problem. Here’s why…

Old School Fabrics

Loosely Woven Fabrics

Today's Athletic Apparel

Tightly Woven Fabrics

Clothing has changed from cotton to synthetic technical fibers.

These new technical fabrics commonly used in active wear offer increased breathability and comfort. However, the tightly woven fibers also lock in odor causing sweat, oils, and bacteria much more than traditional cotton fabrics. While fabrics have evolved, your laundry detergent has not. That’s where we come in.

Why Do Gym Clothes Still Smell Bad After Washing?

The Smell Cycle of Activewear

The differences in fabrics results in something we refer to as “the activewear smell cycle”. You’ve tried washing your clothes but the smell keeps coming back. Is it time to replace your clothes? Not so fast!

If you wash your workout clothes with traditional detergent, you’re probably familiar with this cycle:

You work up a sweat while exercising

Your clothes are drenched with odor causing sweat, body oils, and bacteria

You wash your activewear with traditional detergent

Your clothes come out smelling “clean” but odors quickly return the next time you wear them (because you’ve actually just trapped the odor causing agents)

The cycle continues and the odors get worse over time.

How Does Activewear Detergent Work?

Traditional Detergent vs Activewear Detergent

When you wash activewear with Normal Liquid detergent

Traditional detergents are packed with softeners and artificial fragrances to improve the smell of clothing. These detergents coat the fibers in activewear clothing and facilitate the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

When you wash activewear with ACTIVE detergent

ACTIVE Detergent is free of any fragrances, softeners and fillers. It contains a plant-based enzyme blend designed to penetrate technical fibers, breaking down sweat and other oils. The result is truly clean activewear clothing. Click here to learn more.
