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

Repeat purchaser as this stuff works on the gym kit and removes that smell you dread to find in your kit!
Excellent, it works and leaves clothes smellinh really fresh!
Started as sceptic but Gymwash has brought our well used gym kit back to life - sports bras, running kit, netball dress, cycling bibshorts etc.
Pre-soaked all our kit the first time, and have just been using as washing powder since and the nasty old smell has stayed away. Will be moving to a subscription!
My son is a goal keeper( football) so constantly diving onto grass and 3G pitches. Initially I ordered this for the lingering smell that we could never get out of his kit and gym gear. We completed pre soak as advised and I was disgusted by what came out of his gear . After a wash not only did it smell clean but he said it felt softer and more like it did when he first got it. So much nicer to sit in the car with him when he doesn’t smell of stale kit.. I’ve since done all my own gym wear too and now don’t need to buy new . Thanks so much
Love this - does exactly as it says - nice natural smell, no nasty chemicals and gets workout gear really clean.
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.
