I work out a lot, and always have laundry around that was just out on a run/ride/swim/lift.

How do you keep your house from smelling like a gym without doing laundry for every change of clothes?

My own solution is simple: I workout fully naked.

Seriously though, I workout at home and only wear a pair of black spandex shorts when I'm lifting weights. I've never seen the use of wearing a top, that would only make more clothes to wash at the end of the week and the seams could also be uncomfortable on some exercises. And I'm actually much similar when I'm running/biking outside (although I barely run anymore): I'm shirtless 90% of the time, it's a lot more fresh and it saves me the trouble of having to wash enormous piles of laundry.

For a woman that performs sports outside, I guess you could wear sleeveless tops: the armpits are most certainly the region that produces the most sweat and that are the most likely to make your tops dirty/smelly.

Aside from that, you could use a scent spray on your pile of laundry; you'd still have as much laundry to do at the end of the week, but at least it might help to diminish the odors in your house.

Pretty much my current solution.

I workout outside, in florida. sweating happens. SP, I consider it a decent workout if my pigtails are dripping. By then my shirt and bra are drenched, not just the sleeves.

Apparently putting oranges in shoes gets rid of smells so put oranges around your house I guess? :P

I hang my work out clothes to dry and when I wash them I had a cup of white vinegar in the bleach dispenser. It neutralizes the orders and breaks down grease.

Just be disciplined, make sure your gym undies and regular never never mix, wash immediately, and the white vinegar tip smile

Febreze In-Wash Solution, if you can find it (unfortunately, here, only Wal-Mart carries it) is a laundry solution that gets the nastiest smell out of anything.

I'm all about the Downy whatever things too, and the Gain Unstoppables, and the Purex Crystals, but the Febreze In-Wash solution is the absolute best. Three boys and two Great Pyrenees have taught me much about getting nastiness out of clothes.

So an update, the vinegar trick really helps. But I have to be vigilant about getting my gloves out of the car- those things reek!!

I actually start my rshower in the gym with my workout shorts and shirt on. Then ring them out roll them in my towel and put them in a plastic bag. I hang them up in the patio room when I get home. I did miss taking them out of the plastic bag once and.... Ewwww.

Actually, hubby does the laundry at our house. I iron. To all those guys that say to work out naked they have no clue what it is to run without the support of a sports bra.

We are not wearing clothes when we come out from the lovely womb of our mother. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with us when we are doing workout at our house naked. So, it a hassle free after. Just to take a warm bath after doing work-out dude. Just that simple at all.

To all those "work out at home naked" responses, some of us prefer out of doors activities. Also, as the Hot Wife mentioned, running or any strenuous activity sans a good supportive sports bra is neither comfortable or good for those ligaments.

Small, more frequent loads, with vinegar (Heinz sells cleaning strength) keep the drenched bras and shirts from smelling so much. As do leaving them hanging on my railing in the sun to dry. It's the armored gloves, the camel back, and other assorted gear that get strong. Those are harder to clean!

I use Oxiclean everytime I do laundry. (I use the generic kind too from Big Lots and that also works but they don't always have it.) It gets rid all smells and stains.

I love liquid Tide. (I don't use any other laundry detergent but that.) They're both miracle workers.

You can put a dryer sheet in your hamper, but unless you wait 3 weeks to do laundry you should be fine.

I installed several hanging rods in the laundry room to hang the wet sweaty clothes from. The smell subsides some as they hang dry rather then end up in a pile. We both workout a lot, so we wash them often.
