Product Details

Sports Refresh is made for the clothing that regular laundry can leave smelling less than fresh. Used in place of ordinary detergent, it cleans and deodorizes activewear, gym clothes, sports uniforms, baselayers, and socks. It also helps maintain fabric wicking, so moisture can move through synthetic garments and they can dry faster between sessions. That makes it a practical choice for technical clothing where lingering odour and sluggish drying are common laundry problems.

Use it in a washing machine according to the garment care label, or hand wash with gloves when needed. The 1 litre bottle also works as a pre-treatment for stubborn stains when used undiluted. Keep it away from waterproof clothing and fabric softener, which can interfere with fabric performance. A recycled plastic bottle and PFAS-free formula round out the straightforward approach.

Care rationale

  • Activewear fabrics are designed to wick moisture, dry quickly, and breathe
  • Conventional household detergents or fabric softeners can impair wicking, cause fabric to retain moisture, reduce drying performance, and allow odour build-up
  • Fabric softeners can leave hydrophobic residues that reduce fabric performance
  • Sports Refresh is described as improving wicking, accelerating drying, and removing and preventing odour build-up

Why you'll love it

Freshness that lasts longer

The formula targets odours held in activewear fibres and helps prevent them from building up again, giving frequently worn gym clothes, uniforms, and baselayers a more reliable wash-day reset.

Made for technical fabrics

Synthetic performance clothing depends on moisture moving through the fabric. This cleaner supports that wicking behaviour and faster drying without relying on conventional fabric softener.

Flexible laundry dosing

Use measured amounts in front-loading or top-loading machines, or hand wash with gloves. For particularly stubborn stains, the undiluted cleaner can be applied before the main wash.
