One of my favorite podcasts, Another Mother Runner, did a show on the science of sweat. Sounds like a weird topic right? Well it was very interesting!
I’m sure many of you have some of those running shirts that remind you of the many miles you spent together when you open your running clothes drawer. I also have some favorites. I should burn them now; but then I listened to this podcast. After listening to it, I remembered that I received samples of the laundry detergent SweatX that they mentioned. So I gave it a test. After a hot and sweaty run I put those ripe, stinky clothes in the wash with a little bit of SweatX detergent. You only need a little bit per load
I was very impressed with the results. The clothes smelled fresh after washing and drying them without a dryer sheet. And when I wore them again for my next run I didn’t catch a whiff of previous runs once I started to sweat in them.
Now when I come back from a run a put my clothes in the wash quickly after my shower and I use a conservative amount of detergent.
So like Another Mother Runner tweeted out, if your running gear is getting a little (or a lot) ripe, use code AMR15 to take 15 percent off of your SweatX Sport purchase! I highly recommend it.
