Laundry is not one of my favorite chores. But then again, I don’t really have a favorite chore, just to get that out there! Because of this, laundry tends to sit in the laundry room for quite a bit before I get to it. You know what though? If there’s anything I’ve learned, gym clothes SHOULD NOT be left sitting in a laundry room!
My husband goes to the gym and practices Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a few times per week. By the time he gets home he’s soaked in sweat, and he doesn’t smell so good either!
I primarily use my treadmill to workout. It’s in my garage and we live in a very hot and humid climate. This means my work out clothes are pretty much as disgusting as my husband’s gi (the uniform he wears to the gym) and letting the gym clothes sit for a day or so is not an option.
Our laundry room is small y’all – it will literally start to smell so bad in there!
HOW TO KEEP YOUR GYM CLOTHES FRESH
My number one tip is to wash your gym clothes as quickly as possible. Trust me – you don’t want the sweaty, stinky clothing sitting around in your laundry room.
Don’t overstuff your washing machine or use more detergent than recommended. Doing this can make it harder for your clothes to rinse clean.
Plus, overstuffing means too much laundry to fold! And it most likely won’t dry well.
Use a scent you love. This makes such a difference for me. Remember I said doing laundry is not my favorite? Well, using the Gain flings!™ and the rest of Fresh Water Sparkle™product line motivated me to do the laundry because I wanted to smell the freshness of my clothes!
I started by dropping in the Gain flings!™ laundry pods, adding Gain Liquid Fabric Enhancer/Softener and adding the Gain fireworks™ in-wash scent booster.
Our gym clothes smelled great and felt so soft because I used the new (and exclusive to Dollar General!) Gain Fresh Water Sparkle™ products.
I loved adding the new Gain fireworks!™ In-Wash Scent Booster Beads, in Fresh Water Sparkle™ scent to my laundry routine. The scent beads give my clothes an extra boost of scent and all I have to do is shake them into my washer before the clothes.
The new Gain flings!™ Laundry Detergent Pacs are filled with 50% more scent than Gain liquid laundry detergent. Be sure to place the pac directly into your washing machine BEFORE you add in your clothes.
By using Gain laundry detergent you can help keep your laundry smelling great even after six weeks!
Be sure to stop by your local Dollar General and pick up the Gain Fresh Water Sparkle™ products today. You’ll love how soft, clean and fresh smelling your clothes will be!

I hate doing laundry, too. But man, my boys are still young and when they have been playing outside all day, they come in smelling, too! I learned quickly as a mom of stinky boys that it has to be taken care of quickly.
remind them to bring home their gym clothes more than once a week would be wonderful if it works. Having a good working laundry detergent to do the work certainly makes a difference.
I’m allergic to the gym, so I avoid that, but I do jog daily and my clothes reek when it’s hot out. I’ll have to try Gain because sometimes they still stink after I wash them, and I hate it.
Gain is definitely one of my fave laundry detergents for my husband’s gym clothes and the kids’ play clothes and sports uniforms. I love the White Tea Lavender scent!

Laundry is definitely not my favorite thing to do either. I loved the rare picture of your children fighting over who gets to do laundry. Mine usually fight over who has to do it. 🙂
Gain does have a great strong smell so I’m sure it can keep clothes smelling fresh in spite of the dirt and sweat.
I love gain detergent! It makes everything smell so good! I go to the gym Monday, Wednesday, Friday and I definitely need to wash my clothes each time.
I am always looking for a way to keep my fitness clothes smelling fresh & clean! I will definitely give this Gain product a try!!
GAIN is such awesome stuff. I use it all the time. It gets our clothes clean, but more importantly, it smells amazing!
SO I JUST STARTED USING THE GAIN BOOSTER BEADS & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE EXTRA BOOST OF SCENT THEY GIVE OUR LAUNDRY… AND THE FRESH WATER SPARKLE IS SUCH A GREAT SCENT!! I’M GLAD I CAME ACROSS IT!
I actually like doing laundry! Lol. I go to the gym a lot, so I always have a hamper of sweaty clothes. I’m going to try this!
These all sound really great! – BUT – does Gain make products that will remove the stink but are themselves (products) NOT scented? My hubby cannot do scents; he has a very sensitive nose and they make him sic. Would love to use these on his gym clothes except for that factor. 🙁
Hi Flossie, you may want to check if your local store carries their Sensitive product line!
Gain is by far the best commercial detergent I have used. I always have it and the dryer sheets.
Laundry is not my favorite chore either. Currently, I have a huge pile of clothes to fold that I’ve been holding off.
I love Gain! That’s what I currently use now! It have my clothes smelling fresh for weeks!

Laundry is one of my least favorite things to do. Luckily, my 9 year old loves helping with it.
Clothes tend to get all greasy and smelly especially after workouts. Summers make them worse. A nice detergent is required and Gain sounds to fit the bill.
I love the smell of Gain. It is so fresh and clean. I think it has the best fragrance of all the laundry soaps.
I’m getting some of this over the weekend. My husband’s gym clothes stink! even after washing them with the sanitize feature on my machine. I really hope this helps because I’m ready to toss his clothes and make him buy all new.
I have such a hard time keeping my clothes smelling clean. Do not even get me started on the dirt my kids are always having on their clothes. Having the right detergent makes all the difference!

GYM AND EXERCISE. #JUSOFONII !! HOWEVER, LIVING IN FLORIDA, JUST DASHING TO THE CAR CAN LEAVE YOU SWEATY AND STINKY, SO WE 💗💗💗 GAIN AT BB’S CASA!
I love Gain products and its all we use. With my husband wanting to join Planet Fitness I can’t wait to share these tips with him so he can keep our Gym clothes clean. Since he does the Laundry for us.
I love the Gain products as well. They work really well, and they smell so good too. It leaves your clothes smelling great afterwards.
Gain is my go to detergent for the house. I love all of the sents too! So refreshing!!
I totally agree in not letting sports laundry sitt there! I wash right away, mine and my husband’s and children. I work out three times per week, so does my hubs and my kids twice per week. I also wash towels and bed linen once per week and other clothes separately into jeans, dark colours and whites. So yes, I practically wash everyday of the week! LOL But honestly, we’ve come to an efficient system of collaborating and having clothes already separated in different baskets so it’s much much easier! also, I LOVE fresh laundry smell!!
