How to clean your gym kit

If you’re in full new year swing by getting a head start on your fitness resolution, good for you!

There’s nothing like a good sweaty workout to give us a boost of endorphins. The less fun part, however, is cleaning your gym kit afterwards. Workout clothes and equipment are expensive, but the better you take care of them, the longer they’ll last—so it’s worth investing a little bit of time to ensure you’re giving those leggings and water bottle the TLC they deserve.

In this article, we’ll share our top tips for cleaning your gym kit, so it’s always fresh and ready for you.

Having a few workout items at home is an easy way to get your exercise in without going to the gym. It also means you’re responsible for keeping it nice and clean yourself. To avoid bacteria gathering, you’ll want to wipe down your dumbbells, yoga mat, exercise bands and any other bits and pieces on a regular basis.
Our top tip? Make your own mild cleaning solution by combining a natural All-purpose Cleaner with some water in a spray bottle, diluting it so it won’t wear down your equipment. Spritz your equipment and wipe clean with an eco-friendly cleaning cloth (we particularly like cloths made from bamboo.) Make sure everything’s fully dry before you put it away, and add cleaning your workout gear to your regular chore list to ensure everything stays in tip-top shape.
