With all the hardwork and effort in the gym, the post-gym cleaning often gets underestimated. It&#8217;s not just about maintaining a healthy lifestyle but it&#8217;s also about keeping your gym clothes fresh after a workout. That&#8217;s why in this blog post, we&#8217;ve compiled 5 essential tips to keep your gym clothes clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1290\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_2168589293.jpg?resize=1290%2C860&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"keep your gym clothes fresh\" class=\"wp-image-14427\" style=\"width:592px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Wash Promptly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as you finish your workout, make it a habit to wash your gym clothes as soon as possible. This is because the longer you wait to wash them, the more time bacteria have to multiply and odours to set in. If there is one thing that a hotspot for bacteria, it is sweaty clothes lingering in the laundry basket for days so ensure you wash within 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choose the Right Detergent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to be detailed regarding the right detergent to use for your gym clothes. Ideally, use a detergent that is specifically for athletic wear as it is made to tackle sweat and odour effectively. Look for words &#8216;sports&#8217; or &#8216;active&#8217; on the label to ensure you have the right detergent. In the long run, it will do a great job in keeping your gym clothes fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Cold Wash, Gentle Cycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washing in cold wash and gentle cycle does help keep your gym clothes fresh. This is because hot water can set in odours and cause fabrics to break down quickly. Especially if your gym clothes are made from polyester and spandex. In addition to this, a gentle cycle will protect the elasticity and performance of your gear clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=1024%2C680&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"keep your gym clothes fresh by washing on cold wash\" class=\"wp-image-14426\" style=\"width:581px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=1024%2C680&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=1536%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=2048%2C1360&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=1200%2C797&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?resize=247%2C164&amp;ssl=1 247w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/shutterstock_1575542896.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Skip the Fabric Softener<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fabric softener does a good job in keeping normal clothes feeling soft but when it comes to gym clothes, try to avoid using it. Fabric softener leaves behind a residue that traps odours and reduces the moisture wicking properties of performance fabrics Instead, you can add a half of cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to occasionally to prevent odours and stop any detergent build up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Avoid The Tumble Dryer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand the temptation to throw your gym clothes in the dryer because it may seem a quick way for them to dry. However, high heat can cause shrinkage and damage delicate fabrics. A better option would be to air dry your gym clothes when possible. Hang them on a drying rack or clothesline. Not only will this help keep your gym clothes fresher but will also save energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these five essential tips, your gym clothes will not only smell better but also last longer, ensuring you get the most out of every workout session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, next time you hit the gym, remember to give your clothes the care they deserve\u2014it&#8217;ll pay off in the long run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re unsure or have a busy lifestyle that means you have no time for laundry, don&#8217;t hesitate to get in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/pricing\">Laundryheap!<\/a> Because when it comes to laundry, we do the heavy lifting for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Twitter.png?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"keeping your gym clothes fresh - book with laundryheap\" class=\"wp-image-9454\" style=\"width:570px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Twitter.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Twitter.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Twitter.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Twitter.png?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Twitter.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our services are quick, reliable and convenient for you.
