Performance athletic apparel endures our most strenuous workouts, so it's no surprise that it takes performance, scientifically-formulated detergent to keep it clean, fresh, and stink-free. Unfortunately, traditional detergents aren't up for the task. While "regular detergents work well for cotton and casual wear, they cannot effectively clean synthetic activewear. Here are four reasons why Nonaste High-Performance Laundry Detergent works better than traditional detergent for your beloved activewear.
Life stinks, especially when you are out there burning calories, working out, and working up a sweat. Unfortunately, sweat does not stay in one place, and once gravity gets a hold of it, we are left standing in a puddle of funk (and stink). Everything on and around you quickly becomes saturated in yucky sweat. So, how do we get out of this predicament? When we get home, we can wash our clothes in Nonaste Performance Laundry Detergent, but what about the stuff we cannot throw in the washer like our shoes, exercise equipment, yoga mat, and more? That is where Nonaste Odor Eliminating Spray comes into play. Like our highly-acclaimed Nonaste laundry detergent, our Odor Eliminating Spray is scientifically formulated to lift and remove the stink from everything that cannot fit in a washing machine. And it is not limited to your workout gear; Nonaste Odor Eliminating Spray is perfect for anything that collects bacteria, grime, and odor. Here are a few examples, but the applications are limitless:
We could go on, but we think you get the point. If you have stinky stuff and want to make it stink-free, you need Nonaste Odor Eliminating Spray. You’ll soon find this is your go-to solution for workouts, smelly kid’s stuff, and yucky dog messes. If you have something that has been stewing for a while and is particularly rank, it may take a couple of applications to get it back to normal. But, after a couple of applications, you can spray it after each use to keep the funk away permanently. So, keep your bottle handy; you never know what smelly odor lurks around the corner.

The one consistent thing between all these runs is sweat and stink, especially our feet and shoes. It’s a problem for us and those around us. Raise your hands if you have ever left your smelly shoes on the front porch in fear of contaminating your house.
So why do my running shoes smell so badly? As we mentioned above, when you work out, you sweat, and do you know what likes a moist, warm environment? You guessed it, bacteria. Unfortunately, the nasty, odor-causing bacteria that accompany your sweat leave your shoes smelling like a Limberger cheese factory with a broken air conditioner. And to make things worse, the next time you don your favorite running shoes, the stink returns – faster and more robust.
So what can a man (or woman) do about this common and annoying "stinky shoe" problem? The answer is simple: grab a bottle of Nonaste Odor Eliminating spray. It can't be that simple, you say. Sure it is! Like our Nonaste Performance Laundry Detergent, our Odor Eliminating spray attacks bacteria, removing them from the hostile environment (your shoes). Once the bacteria is gone, so is the foul odor.
How does it work? That, too, is easy.
If you have new shoes, start using Nonaste Odor Eliminating spray to prevent bacteria from ever accumulating. In other words, be proactive, not reactive.
If you have older shoes that have accumulated some miles, it's not too late. Follow these instructions, and you and your loved ones will live a happy stink-free life.
Note: If your shoes are particularly raunchy, it may take a few applications to eliminate the smell.

Most gym clothes and workout apparel use synthetic fabrics in manufacturing. While these materials are excellent for wicking sweat away from your body, they are horrible at "stink management." Odor-causing bacteria gets trapped between the tightly woven fibers, causing a stench traditional laundry detergent cannot remove.
Here are a few tips to remove the smell that accumulates workout after workout:
Scientifically formulated Nonaste detergent for athletic wear penetrates synthetic clothing fibers and destroys the bacteria hiding in them. As a result, Nonaste leaves your gym clothes smelling fresh and clean. Regular detergents cannot do this. They can clean non-synthetic fibers like cotton but do not have the enzymes and surfactants to attack workout gear. Additionally, traditional laundry detergents leave behind a film, which further traps the funk it was incapable of removing.
In summary, to have fresh-smelling, stink-free workout gear that lasts longer, follow these quick tips:
Whether you are working out in the gym, running a half marathon, or doing yoga in your living room, eating healthy after your workout is a must. Here are 5 our favorite go to healthy post-workout snacks.
]]>Here are five our favorite go-to healthy post-workout snacks:
Trail mix is great because it provides healthy fats, carbs, and fiber, and it’s a good source of protein.
Apples are good for you. They provide energy, fiber, and satisfy your sweet tooth. Dollop on a tablespoon of peanut butter and you’re ready to go.
Smoothies that include fruit and a scoop of protein powder make great post-workout snacks. You can also add a little nut butter and almond milk. So yummy.
I’ll take that! The healthy fats, protein, and whole grains make this a muscle recharge must! Use wholesome bread like Ezekiel bread for the toast.
Energy bars are the ultimate goodness. Find one with low or no sugar, about 10gm of protein, and no artificial ingredients.
And the best time to eat these healthy snacks is within 30 minutes after your workout. Eating after your workout restores energy in your muscles and repairs muscle damage. If you wait too long to eat, you will have passed the threshold to recharge and repair your muscles by half.
While you are staying healthy, and eating clean, keep your workout clothes and gear clean with our line of Nonaste Odor removing products. They take the nasty out of your life.
Disclaimer: Please use your best judgment to nourish your body after your workout and consult a doctor/personal trainer/nutritionist if you have specific questions regarding your dietary needs.

While traditional detergents work well for cotton garments, they don't cut the mustard with synthetic, man-made fibers used in today's activewear.
]]>Polyester apparel is moisture-wicking. It is excellent at pulling sweat away from your body to evaporate quickly. Athletic apparel companies create these products to keep us cool and dry when we work out. So, what’s the problem? Synthetic materials are also oleophilic, meaning they have an affinity for oils and not water. So, while the moisture from your sweat passes through the fibers and evaporates, the odorous oily compounds and bacteria in your sweat cling to the fibers, creating a pungent smell that is near impossible to remove.
Washing synthetic leisurewear with traditional laundry detergent doesn’t remove stink-causing bacteria, and within minutes of wearing your freshly washed gear, the stink returns. Newly created sweat mixes with existing trapped bacteria creating a funk that will have those around you running for the hills. During this activity, more bacteria are created and get trapped in your expensive synthetic clothing, and the cycle happens repeatedly. The funk in the activewear accumulates wear after wear.
Traditional laundry detergent cannot remove the odor-causing trapped bacteria from your costly athletic wear. Some people think laundry detergent or scented fabric softeners are the answer, but they only worsen the problem. Off-the-shelf detergents create a film over synthetic materials, trapping the bacteria further, and making your “stink problem” worse.
So, what’s the answer?
Nonaste scientifically formulated laundry detergents lift and remove bacteria trapped in synthetic performance materials, and once the bacteria is gone, so is the smell. While traditional detergents work well for cotton garments, they don't cut the mustard with synthetic, man-made fibers used in today's activewear. And if you've been using "regular detergent" on your workout gear, Nonaste will remove the film built up from each wash that further traps bacteria. As a result, Nonaste Performance Laundry Detergent eliminates "funk and stank," and revitalizes your expensive gear, increasing its longevity.
Nonaste's plant-derived surfactants, cleansers, and enzymes were created by active people for active people. Nonaste laundry detergent is available in two variations, Pure Clean (unscented) and Zen Fresh (light lavender scent) and can be purchased here.
