Can I use Sensitive Laundry Liquid for sportswear and synthetic fabrics?Updated 8 days ago
TL;DR: Yes. Sensitive Laundry Liquid is suitable for sportswear and synthetic fabrics (like polyester, nylon and elastane). It’s great for removing sweat, body grime, and odours.
Why it works well on activewear
Sensitive Laundry Liquid contains a blend of enzymes (including protease and lipase) designed to break down the common causes of activewear smells, like sweat, body oils, and protein-based residue.
How to wash sportswear
- Pretreat stains following Stain Remover Guide.
- Turn garments inside out
- Wash using your normal machine cycle
- Cold or warm water is fine (always follow the garment care label)
- Don’t overload the machine (activewear needs water flow to rinse properly)
- Hang dry when possible to help fabrics last longer
Important tips for synthetics
- Always follow garment care instructions, especially for compression gear or technical fabrics.
- Avoid overdosing detergent as too much product can trap residue in synthetic fibres.
- If odours persist, run an extra rinse cycle.
Need extra odour help?
If your sportswear is holding onto stubborn odours, you can pre-soak before washing using a small amount of Sensitive Laundry Liquid in a bucket of water.
For extra stain help, you can also treat targeted marks before washing using Stain Remover (only if the garment is machine washable).
