"No longer have kids smelly hockey and netball kit. And all on a cooler wash too, so better for my energy bills/the environment. Will be ordering more!"

What Makes GYMWASH the Ultimate Sports Detergent?

OXYGEN-BASED CLEANING SYSTEM
Percarbonate powder
  • Full cleaning power at 30-40°C. No hot washes needed
  • The same active cleaning agent used in hospital sterilisation
  • Keeps elastane, wicking and stretch intact

4-ENZYME COMPLEX
Enzyme powder
  • Most bio detergents use 1-2 enzymes. GYMWASH uses 4, each targeting a different layer of build-up.
  • Includes Lipase, the enzyme that removes the oils feeding the odour. Most detergents don't have it. Only powder can carry it.
  • Breaks down sweat proteins, skin oils, starch residue and dead skin cells
ZINC RICINOLEATE
Zinc ricinoleate crystals
  • Neutralises odour at a molecular level instead of masking it with fragrance.
  • Used in military gear care and medical-grade odour control
  • Stays on the fabric after the wash and keeps neutralising odour during wear. That's why the smell doesn't return.
TEA TREE OIL
NATURALLY FRESH
  • Antibacterial and antifungal properties that actively support the wash
  • Replaces the synthetic fragrances in regular detergents that irritate skin and mask odour
  • A fresh, energising scent. Natural and subtle.

BUILT DIFFERENT.

REMOVES STINKY ODOURS

NATURAL FRAGRANCE ONLY

KIND ON SKIN

MADE IN UK

Clear plastic container full of brown water inside on a wooden surface

AND FOR REAAALLY BAD SMELLS, TRY A SOAK.

  • Dissolve 2 TBSP in warm water (max 40°C). Tubs and buckets work great for this!
  • Submerge clothes fully and leave for 30 to 60 minutes
  • Keep soaks under 60 minutes to protect colour on some fabrics
  • Rinse, then put on a normal machine wash to finish

Give it a chance!

After trying several other brands for activewear I wasn’t totally convinced this would work! But it was cheaper than replacing all of my kit so I thought I’d try it fully intending on using the money back guarantee!! However it actually works after the first wash it was a game changer my kit smells fresh even after a workout there is no stale sweat smell anymore I’m so glad I took a chance on this product but be warned the first wash the water will be disgustingly dirty 😂

This really works...

Love this product! We have a LOT of stinky kit with the whole family being active. This really works, it smells lovely and fresh and I like that it’s better for the environment too. Thought it might be expensive but you honestly only need a small amount. Have already recommended to gym buddies!

Detergent for Gym Clothes

My Scepticism was literally washed away

I’m a marathoner, so I run, a lot, also I am very sweaty, as much as other detergents seem to be ok at cleaning, after a while, whilst training, the faint smell of BO would be very apparent, saw Gymwash and read it’s claims, sceptically I ordered some, my scepticism was literally washed away, it surpasses all its claims, no harsh chemical or synthetic perfume smell to mask the b.o. just clean odourless training gear.

Open minded - converted

With a skeptical but open mind I plunged to purchase GymWash. Hubbies gym tops being nylon hold the smell and don’t wash great - having used this a few times. All smells have gone. To add his arm pits were crusty from too much deodorant and this too has gone and are soft again like new. Colours are still bright - not bleached. Would highly recommend to give this a go.

Finally removed the stubborn odour from my running clothes

I run 2-3 times a week and had reached the point where some of my running clothes still smelled even after washing them for longer or at higher temperatures. Since using Gymwash, I’ve noticed a clear and measurable improvement. The trapped sweat odour has reduced significantly, and the clothes come out feeling genuinely fresher rather than simply covered by a strong fragrance.

For the most heavily affected items, I used a diluted white vinegar pre-soak before washing them with Gymwash, and this combination has worked incredibly well. I’m genuinely very pleased with the results so far and would recommend it to anyone struggling with persistent odours in their sports clothes

The freshest towel for the after ride

With this heat, having a nice and cold towel handy makes the the start of the recovery much better.

It's soft and takes enough cold water to refresh but it also dries quickly. If you use it dry to wipe out sweat it's amazing too.

The colours are amazing, really worth every penny.

UPDATED REVIEW - 4 YEARS ON!

I wrote a review when I started using Gymwash 4 years ago and thought it worthwhile to add an update. Here’s how it works best for me.

1. A ‘deep clean / soak’ every 6 months of all my kit. It truly helps banish the stale smell that creeps in to training clothes. I previously hand picked the few pieces that I thought would best benefit from gymwash but there was always a bit of workout gear hiding in stealth mode to disrupt the freshness of my kit. All sorted now with this routine.

2. On return from holiday particularly in hot places - all my workout clothes are soaked and washed.

3. I have a few pieces that I use gymwash on more regularly than others but I don’t use this as a regular detergent.

The only thing that Gymwash seemed to struggle with is oil from sports therapy treatments. Otherwise I love it for my kit, have gifted it to friends (a gift that only a true friend can give 🤣) and continue to be a big fan.

Great addition to the Gymwash family. Gives you a perfect measure every time, well worth the minimal cost.

Fantastic Stuff

Bought this for wicking work tops that smelt stale. Always been washed after one wear but just started smelling bit stale. Thought I’d give this a bash. Soaked it in the sink for at then through the machine. Could not believe was came out of them! No smell off them now! Would 100% recommend.

Exactly the product I was looking for!

Gymwash is exactly the product I've been looking for! I've been feeling like my gym clothes were not washing up as freshly as in the past and was considering buying new things when I saw Gymwash. It's done exactly as it claims and has made my gym clothes smell much better and left me feeling more confident. I was truly shocked and embarrassed by how much dirt came out of my clothes after soaking them per the instructions. I would definitely recommend this product!

Smelling good

I was washing our gym kit but it still had a lingering sweaty smell. Since using gym wash our sports washing now feels clean and smells fresh. Happy with this product.

I'm a convert!

I had been seeing the reviews and Ads pop up on my Instagram feed for a while, and like so many of us do, had my doubts and continued to doom scroll instead of buying. I finally decided to order some after putting on one of my workout tops and for a minute questioned whether I had picked up a dirty one! I did the pre-soak as recommended and I was both shocked and a little mortified at the water afterwards. I can confirm it does what it says on packet and I am very much converted - I will be ordering more and have recommended it to a number of my gym friends too.

Much better than other brands

We have tried many products to wash our sports stuff and it still had a sweaty smell to it that we couldn't get rid of. I saw Gymwash on a Facebook ad and thought seems too good to be true but why not just try it. We soaked our gear first and the colour of the water afterwards was disgusting. The smell has gone and has been replaced with a tea tree scent. I will continue to buy

Great product.

We have bought this twice now. Even what I call clean clothes soaked in this as a PE teacher I can’t believe the colour of the water! Does what it says it will!

Well worth a try!

Attached is a photo after soaking my "clean" kit in Gymwash for an hour... I think that says all you need to know. It works!!

Oh My Days!!!

Have toyed with getting this for a while, saw an offer pop up and spoke to a friend who had just placed an order and has used it before, raves about it, so took the plunge. Oh My Days!! I thought my clothes were clean!! 😳 the smell is lovely, the water is disgusting, it does exactly what it says it’ll do!! Fascinating process actually. And my tops feel clean. Love it. Thank you Gymwash for being amazing.

Brilliant results on biking wear and equestrian gear

I bought this mostly for my husband's manky mountain biking gear - normal detergent just wasn't getting rid of the sweat odour. I soaked everything once and have used it in the machine wash since with amazing results.
I've just discovered another problematic item that Gymwash has cracked - sweaty saddle cloths, rugs and boots from the horses! Again, items that can't be washed on a hot wash and normal detergent struggles to break down the grease from the horse's coat combined with sweat. One wash with Gymwash added has them immaculately clean! It is so refreshing to have a product that actually works and lives up to it's advertising claims. Thank you!

Saved our relationship!

My partner exercises at home and when his got warm his gym clothes would “activate” and emit a smell 🤢 A test of products from the supermarket helped but didn’t fix. An add showed me GymWash which he bought and is GAME CHANGING and RELATIONSHIP SAVING. Brilliant product that’s now a non-negotiable.

Deserves 10 stars!

This stuff is beyond amazing. I have just washed & rescued my husbands tri-suit and trainers after he did an Ironman. Now all I’m going to say is it was hot and sweaty, and toilet paper is not abundant in the portaloos on the course……But thanks to a soak and wash in Gymwash his kit looks (and smells) like new. I cannot recommend Gymwash highly enough, it does what it says on the packet and does it really really well. Thank you for developing this 🍃

I absolutely love this stuff😍

I absolutely love this stuff and have recommended it to so many of my friends. I was dubious at first and thought it was a bit costly but it’s worth every penny I’ve had a few orders of it now and hope it continues going from strength to strength!

It actually works!!

After reading lots of reviews and getting fed up with smelly gym and running wear, I ordered some Gymwash and I'm so impressed. My clothes smell SO GOOD now! The initial soak is also very satisfying seeing all the grim come out!

Lifesaver!

I’ve just finished my first pack of gymwash and I am so impressed with the results. My gym kit gets used & abused several times per week. Some items being a few years old and I was worried the stale sweat smell would never go away- but then gymwash came along. It’s saved me from binning them and buying new gear. ☺️ Ps. Photo shows the water after soaking a number of items for an hour! 🫣

So fresh and so clean

For months this product has come up as a sponsored ad and I thought it was a gimmick BUT I caved in and today I was blown away. I soaked my gym kit and I was shocked at how grubby it was after only ever using using household brand detergents, and at how amazing gymwash was. The proof of how much grime it removed is in the picture! And to top it off after wearing one top freshly cleaned and dry tonight for 2 classes, a lot of sweat later, it still smelled brand new! So fresh, and so clean! I cannot recommend this highly enough.

A skeptic to a believer.. this stuff works!

In summary this stuff works. I decided to try this out and I’m so glad I did. I was a skeptic and thought my normal detergent does the same stuff but it doesn’t. I decided to put it to the test and put half of my gym clothes (most were ready to wear and were washed already) in a bathtub, after pre soaking in the sink to see what happens. Ewww .. the more I washed the more came out. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I soaked everything for an hour in the bathtub after washing in the sink, I’m shocked. 80% of these clothes had already been washed and ironed.. and this much came out! the next day I had to wash the rest of my gym clothes and start again, I’m so glad I found this, my clothes now actually feel clean. They smell fresh. And I feel my black clothes look darker and whites look brighter! This is a god send and I can’t wait to wash my clothes again. My old gym clothes now have a new life too! (The leggings in the sink were old, washed and just left in my draw, all of this came out after one soak!)
