If you’re going to the gym, we applaud your efforts to become a healthier version of yourself.
But, if you’re like us, you’ve probably gone home and wondered whether the odor coming from your gym bag is worth the healthier lifestyle you’ve adopted.
When your gym clothes (and all the sweat you earned with your hard work) mix with bacteria, a funky odor develops, and it only gets worse when you shove your clothes into a gym bag for a few hours.
Men’s Health developed a three-step plan to help cut down on the stink:
- Pre-rinse and air out.
- Power wash the nasty items. (Check out Men’s Health to see the formula. Spoiler: It’s not just your go-to detergent.)
- Don’t undo your efforts with dryer sheets or fabric softeners.
Now that your workout outfits smell fresh and clean, you can focus on what’s truly important: the workout!
