Workout clothes often develop odors despite washing due to fabric choices and inadequate cleaning methods. Polyester fabrics, commonly used in athletic wear, trap smells more than cotton or viscose. To combat lingering odors, it is essential to properly wash and treat smelly areas like underarms, ideally before drying them. Experts suggest pre-treating these areas similarly to stain removal. Understanding the cause of odors and adjusting washing techniques can help maintain the freshness of workout attire, allowing for comfortable wear outside the gym as well.
"For starters, the type of fabric you're wearing to work out could lead it to be a little smellier than you like."
"Wendy Saladyga...tells Scary Mommy that a big issue with most workout clothes is that they're dried before you can actually tackle the odor."
