What are Some Tips for Keeping Men's Athletic Shorts Smelling Fresh?

Workout apparel can quickly become stinky, especially when used frequently. Purchasing items featuring anti-odor technology is useful. Here are some further tips to help keep jogger shorts and other fitness apparel smelling fresh and clean:

  • Vinegar:Soak your training bottoms in white vinegar before washing to rid them of odors. White vinegar can also be added to the washing cycle for extra freshness.
  • Don't Delay:Make sure you don't delay washing fitness gear. Leaving dirty workout gear unwashed can allow bacteria to spread.
  • Avoid Fabric Softener:Fabric softener is the enemy of fresh smelling activewear. It creates a barrier that locks in unpleasant odors. It can also break down malleable materials, like stretchy knits, underwear and gym bottoms.
