5 Ways to Keep Your Gym Gear Fresh Between Washes

Sweaty gym gear is inevitable — but lingering odors don't have to be. Here are 5 simple habits that may help keep your gear smelling fresher between washes.

1. Air Out Your Bag — Leave it open 30 minutes after every workout to let moisture escape.
2. Remove Sweaty Clothes Immediately — Don't let damp clothes sit in a closed bag.
3. Use a FoldFresh Sheet — Place one in your bag after each session. Designed to help reduce odors for 5–7 days. Results may vary. FoldFresh is not a substitute for regular washing.
4. Wash Your Bag Regularly — Spot clean every few weeks to prevent buildup.
5. Store in a Ventilated Spot — Avoid car trunks and closed closets where moisture gets trapped.
