How to Use

For handwashing your athletic wear:

Step 1. Add one capful of All Sport Activewear Detergent to a sink or basin.

Step 2. Pretreat any stains using a small amount of All Sport Activewear Detergent. Work the detergent into the stain with your Laundry Stain Brush, then add the garment to the washer. You can use our Stain Remover Spray for this step too!

Step 3. Launder according to garment care labels. When in doubt, remember that most athletic clothing is best laundered in cool water and dried on the lowest heat setting or air-dried.

Or use the gentle cycle in your machine: 

Step 1. Add 2-4 capfuls of All Sport Activewear Detergent to the drum of your washer or detergent drawer. For small loads use 2 capfuls; for larger loads use up to 4 capfuls. 

Step 2. Pretreat any stains using a small amount of All Sport Activewear Detergent. Work the detergent into the stain with your Laundry Stain Brush, then add the garment to the washer. You can use our Stain Remover Spray for this step too!

Step 3. Launder according to garment care labels. When in doubt, remember that most athletic clothing is best laundered in cool water and dried on the lowest heat setting or air-dried.

PRO TIP: Have a houseful of sweaty, smelly teenage boys, or a military uniform to launder? You can use All Sport Wash as a general clothing detergent to help get rid of odors in jeans, socks, underwear, uniforms, and t-shirts. Or, you can use All Sport Wash as a laundry booster with our laundry powders — just 1 cap will do the trick!

Feeling adrift when it comes to the best way to care for your yoga pants and new gym shorts? It’s easy to quickly and irreparably ruin high-performance fabrics if you don’t follow the right rules for garment care. Here’s what our pros recommend:

  1. Athletic wear should always be washed as soon as possible to prevent odor-causing bacteria from multiplying. 
  2. Never use chemical-filled fabric softeners or dryer sheets on sports apparel! These products damage the elasticity, wicking attributes, and breathability of activewear. 
  3. Avoid washing athletic clothing and delicates in hot water. Heat can damage the elasticity and shape of these garments. This Active Wear Detergent will still work its odor-cutting magic in cool or warm water! 
  4. Repeat as needed! If stubborn stains or odors are not eliminated after the first wash, wash and repeat before drying. Once you dry a garment stains and odors can be harder to combat!
  5. Always air dry athleisurewear or use the coolest setting in the dryer. Wool Dryer Balls are recommended to speed up drying time. 
  6. Say goodbye to smelly shoes! Put your tennis shoes or sneakers into a mesh laundry bag and toss them in the washer with a generous splash of All Sport Wash. Allow your shoes to soak in cool water for 20-30 minutes, then rinse. 

To keep your yoga mat and athletic equipment clean, mix one-part All Sport Wash - Active Wear Detergent to three parts water in a glass spray bottle. Spritz over yoga mats, non-washable athletic gear, and inside gym bags. Wipe down with a dry, organic cloth for a quick, efficient clean that gets rid of lingering odors.
