Serious athletes know that investing in quality workout wear isn’t just about style—it’s designed for performance, comfort and longevity. But even the best activewear won’t last if you don’t care for it properly. That’s where enzyme detergent comes in. Let’s dive into how to keep your gear fresh functional, and built to perform.

Why Premium Activewear Is Worth It:

✔️ Better performance & Support – Moisture-wicking fabrics keep you dry, while compression technology improves circulation and muscle recovery

✔️ Longevity & Durability –High-quality clothes resist stretching, fading and pilling, meaning you buy less and wear them longer!

✔️ Comfort & Flexibility – Breathable 4-way stretch materials move with you, preventing chafing and irritation (the worst).

With all these benefits, it’s clear that premium activewear is worth the investment. But to truly get your money’s worth, you need to care for it properly.

1. Air It Out

If you’re not washing right away, air dry your sweat-soaked gear immediately rather than tossing it into the hamper. This prevents odor and bacteria build up--not only in the clothes you just worked out in, but any other laundry waiting to be washed.

Pro Tip: Spritz Nonaste Odor Eliminating Spray at this step. Its powerful formula uses plant-based surfactants to break down and lift away odor-causing molecules, while natural antimicrobial agents like sodium nezoate help inhibit bacterial growth.

2. Wash Smarter, Not HarderTurn your clothes inside out before tossing them in the machine. This puts the smelliest parts in direct contact with the detergent. Hey, speaking of detergent--not just any old detergent is up for the job. To truly protect your investment, use a detergent specially made for activewear. Nonaste High Performance Laundry Detergent uses eco-friendly enzyme cleaning technology to target and eliminate strong and stubborn bacteria, odors and grime while keeping the integrity intact.Always wash in cold water. Hot water can break down delicate fibers, shortening the lifespan of your gear.

3. Finish StrongAir dry rather than machine dry. Just like hot water, high heat from the dryer can damage the elasticity of your stuff. Pretty simple: Air it out, wash smart with enzyme detergent and dry naturally. You spent a lot to get clothes from *that* brand. Make sure they stay fresh, functional and built to perform!NEXT WEEK: What about the stuff you can’t just toss in the wash?
