Dealing with stinky workout clothes is one of the worst parts of going to the gym, especially if you notice they smell bad even after you’ve washed them. Follow these three steps if you still haven’t figured out how to deal with this problem.
Quick Response
Leaving your workout clothes unwashed for too long will only make things worse. Instead of leaving them inside your hamper for days, try to wash them as soon as possible because they’re probably drenched in sweat.
Inside Out
Make sure to flip your clothes inside out before washing them. The areas that had direct contact with your skin need to be washed properly since all the sweat and dead skin stayed on the inside. This move will also help you protect the color of your workout clothes.
Air Drying
If you’re not able to wash your gear right away, at least let it air dry before adding it to your laundry pile. This is the best way to keep your workout clothes from becoming a breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria.
