Cleaning Your Workout Clothes: Tips & Tricks
Wellness & Working Out
Exercise is key to wellness. It improves health, makes us stronger and encourages and empowers the next generation. But it can also make you sweat, and that can make your workout clothes smell less than fresh.
Workout Wear & Care
From leggings to jogging shorts, jackets and beyond, these specialized performance items are often designed with breathable membranes and microfibers to keep you comfy, cool and dry. As a result, they can be a little pricey, so it’s important to take good care of them to maximize their lifespans.
Which Detergent Should I Use?
Persil® Activewear Clean Detergent is designed for activewear and works on all fabrics. The formula actively fights body oil and sweat, while helping to maintain fabric shape and stretch and actively removing body odor. And of course, it’s available at The Kroger Family of Stores.
What Steps Should I Follow?
Just like a workout routine from a trainer can help you hit your goals in the gym, the following steps can help you get the best results in the laundry room.
- Read labels to determine the safest way to wash.
- Turn clothes inside out to protect colors. Close zippers.
- Select easy-care or delicate washing cycle. Temperature will vary depending on the item.
- Use Persil® Activewear Clean Detergent.
- Skip fabric softeners to avoid breaking down the fibers that give clothes their stretch.
- Hang dry on coat hangers to maintain shape. Or if your fabrics can be dried in the dryer, select a low temperature.
Persil® Activewear Clean Detergent provides an advanced clean on your performance fabrics and helps keep them looking newer longer.* And that can keep you motivated to stay active and focused on wellness. Explore more healthy tips and inspiration from our Kroger Wellness Festival sponsors.
