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!

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.

Now part of my fitness routine
Loving Gymwash. Using it routinely to keep fitness kit fresh. No longer have I that ONE top in the drawer that carries THAT gym smell. Just home from a fitness week in hot conditions and Gymwash is having its toughest test yet 😎

Gets rid of sweaty smells
Brought this for my running kit because no matter what I tried I could not completely get rid of the stale sweaty smell. This product seems to have achieved that. For the first use I did make a paste to rub into the armpits of all gym/running T-shirts. I now always soak the T-shirts for an hour in a solution of 1-2 tablespoons in water before washing them in a tablespoon or two of Gymwash and this seems to work. I would recommend this product

Customer Reviews
I soaked my wife's kit in this and the water came out brown, despite washing it twice a week for months! How did it stay that dirty? Gymwash has not only cleaned it but it smells fresh for the first time in a long time.
Had struggled for years finding a decent detergent for our gym clothes. This is the only stuff that truly works for our gym washes!
Was skeptical that this would be any good, but it really works for well used running clothes. Also great for teenagers school shirts. Everything smells really fresh. Would definitely recommend trying it out.
I'm sure you can imagine the vile smell in a fencing hall with 200 fencers wearing heavy sweaty kit. Because the kit is so thick and heavy, and bulky to wash, nobody washes it every use. At an international event you can wear it several hours a day for 3 days in a row. When you strip off the backlog smell is overpowering. Not any more!! After an initial 24 gymwash soak of all kit in the bath, it is now washed weekly in the machine with gymwash and it smells completely fragrant! Even when you get sweaty again it just smells fresh sweaty - of the deodorant and detergent. Not the dead snake smell you used to have. We all have very allergic, rashy skin and this doesn't trigger anything. Please can the male foilists buy this product.
After 4 years of washing damp, smelly rowing kit, this is the first wash that actually removes the smell and means I don't have to buy my teenager new kit every 3 months!
It also works great for period knickers too or anything that has got a damp/musty smell.
Everyone in my family has sensitive skin and/or eczema and it doesn't irritate anyone here, so that's fab too.
We will never be without it now.
Frequently asked questions
How many washes per bag?
One bag is 900g and contains 45 washes.
Is it vegan & cruelty free?
Yes to both! All our products raw materials are vegan and our product is also cruelty free.
Is this product scented?
We use tea tree essential oil which leaves a fresh scent on your clothes without it being overpowering.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
None of our ingredients are known to irritate skin. We don't use any synthetic fragrances which usually irritate people's skin. Our founder has sensitive skin and our product has never caused them irritation. We offer a money-back guarantee so please get in touch with us support@gymwash.com if you aren't happy.
Where do I put the powder?
We recommend placing the powder directly into the drum of your machine.
How many scoops per wash?
One TBSP (20g) is our recommended starting point. For very-stinky loads use two TBSP (40g).
Is there a scoop included?
We're doing our best to use less plastic. A lot of our customers already have scoops from other products. We felt it was wasteful to include one. Don't worry if you don't have one. One wash is one TBSP (approximately 20 grams).
Does this work on a cold wash?
We recommend washing your clothes in line with the labels on your clothing. Usually, 40 degrees is a good starting point. However, our product works well at 30 degrees also.
Is it colour-safe (ie doesn't fade darks/bright colours)?
Absolutely! Colour fading is usually caused by products that contain bleaches. Our product contains natural bleaching agents which are generally safer than chlorine bleaches.
If you are doing a soak using GYMWASH then don't soak for over an hour. As excessive soaking could lead to an increased chance of colour fading.
Also, if you are concerned about colour fading then be sure to test our product on a small part of your item.
Is it safe for use with a septic tank?
Yes, absolutely.
Does this product contain limonene?
Yes - GYMWASH contains a very small amount of limonene, which is a naturally occurring compound found in the tea tree oil we use for fragrance (typically around 0.5–1.5%). While the amount is tiny in the context of the full product, we include it on the label in line with allergen regulations.
