Let’s be real: gym clothes are where sweat, bacteria, and odour go to party. But don’t worry — with the right wash routine, you can send the stink packing and keep your activewear fresh and high-performing.
What you need
✔ Sensitive Laundry Liquid (with enzyme pristine for odour-busting)
✔ Laundry Pump
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Turn your gym clothes inside out — that’s where the sweat and bacteria like to hide.
Step 2
Dose Sensitive Laundry Liquid into your washing machine (the enzymes will break down sweat, oils, and odour molecules).
Step 3
Wash on a cool or warm cycle — high heat can wreck elastics.
Step 4
Skip the fabric softener (it clogs the fibres and locks in smells).
Step 5
Air-dry in sunlight if possible — UV rays help kill lingering bacteria.
Pro tip
• For stubborn odours, do a pre-soak with a splash of Sensitive Laundry Liquid before the wash.
• Wash gym gear as soon as possible after wearing — bacteria love a sweaty laundry pile.
Safety first: Always check the care label — many activewear fabrics are heat-sensitive. Avoid tumble drying unless the tag says it’s safe.
Other notes
• Odours not shifting? Rewash with Sensitive Laundry Liquid and avoid mixing gym gear with heavy cottons like towels (they trap smells).
• Consistent stink in your laundry? Run an empty hot wash with Universal Cleaner to freshen up your washing machine.
