How to Remove Sweat, Oil & Odor from Gym Towels and Yoga Props — For Good

How to Remove Sweat, Oil & Odor from Gym Towels and Yoga Props — For Good

The Hygiene Battle Every Gym & Studio Is Fighting

From hot yoga to HIIT classes, fitness fabrics are designed to absorb sweat — and unfortunately, they absorb odor too. Add natural body oils, bacteria, locker-room humidity, and rewashing cycles… and suddenly “clean” towels still don’t smell clean.

Your guests notice. And so does your brand.

Why Odor Is So Hard to Eliminate

Sweat, oils, and odor-causing bacteria bind deeply into performance fibers. Traditional detergents:

  • Sit on the surface instead of penetrating the fabric

  • Produce excessive suds that lock in residue, not remove it

  • Create a cycle of wash → dry → smells again

The result:
📉 More rewashes
📉 Higher chemical use
📉 Faster towel breakdown

Bad for budgets. Worse for the guest experience.

The Science Behind Fresh Fibers

For truly clean gym laundry, you need three things:
1️⃣ Targeted stain and odor fighters for sweat + body oil
2️⃣ Controlled dosing — too much detergent = trapped residue
3️⃣ Bacteria disruption technology to prevent odor rebound

Laundry Labs PowerPax™ capsules deliver exactly that with:

  • High-performance enzymes built for athletic fabrics

  • Precisely measured doses every time — no overuse

  • Microcapsule freshness that activates during use, not just in the wash

Gym towels stay softer. Yoga props stay fresher. The air in the studio stays cleaner.
