The Real Reason Activewear Smells and How to Fix It
The Real Reason Activewear Smells and How to Fix It
If your activewear still smells after washing, you’re not alone. Synthetic fabrics trap sweat, bacteria, and oils deep inside the fibers. Regular detergents only clean the surface, so odor remains inside the material.
Why Activewear Holds Onto Odor
Performance fabrics are designed to stretch and wick moisture, but this also makes them harder to clean. Sweat and body oils sink into tiny gaps in the fibers. Over time, bacteria builds up and creates a persistent smell that won’t wash out.
Why You Need a Sport-Specific Detergent
Lumehra Swim + Sport Laundry Tablets contain enzymes and plant-based cleaners that break down sweat, sunscreen, and odor-causing buildup. They work deeper than traditional detergents and remove trapped smells without masking them with fragrance.
How to Prevent Activewear Odor
Wash gym clothing as soon as possible. Avoid letting sweaty gear sit in a hamper or gym bag. Use cold water to protect elasticity and always choose a detergent designed to target sweat and bacteria.
