We put our workout clothes through their paces – spinning, yoga, running, zumba \u2013 especially this time of year! And let\u2019s face it: even after laundry day, you can often still smell the sweat from your intense workouts. What\u2019s the best way to clean workout clothes to keep them smelling and looking fresh?<\/p>\n

Workout clothes, which are stretchy and wick sweat away, are usually made of synthetic fabrics that hold on to odors longer than other clothes. These fabrics are also more delicate than other materials and need special treatment. Plus, they\u2019re expensive, and we want them to last as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips for keeping your athleisurewear clean and smelling fresh:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash after each workout! Don\u2019t leave these damp clothes in your gym bag or let them pile up in the hamper.<\/li>\n
  2. Use the recommended amount of detergent, not more. Excess detergent won\u2019t get washed out, but will instead build up, trap odors in and allow mildew to grow.<\/li>\n
  3. Turn your workout clothes inside out when you wash them.<\/li>\n
  4. Use cold water. Hot water can potentially cause shrinkage.<\/li>\n
  5. Air dry to avoid shrinkage, pillage and melting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And now, get back to exercising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
