do you wash your gym / running kit the same day or leave it in the laundry basket?

Exciting huh Grin.

I think it's why use my washing machine so much. I exercise 3/4 times a week and always wash it the same day. Partly because I don't have many gym clothes and might need them again in 24hrs and partly because they start to smell if they're left in the laundry basket for a couple of days. Even if it's just few items I'd rather do a mini-wash than leave it going musty.

I think it's why my washing machine is always on the go Hmm.

I have to wash mine the same day, don't have that many changes of kit and it all has to perform multiple functions - running cycling gym yoga etc - as I don't have dedicated stuff for each activity, just varying amounts of layers and it must all be clean by the morning or I will DIE

I think technical fabrics quickly smell horrible and eventually move beyond the reach of Aeriel and Lenor entirely, and I don't even push myself to sweat breaking point even in hot yoga Hmm but at least they dry super fast

Same day here too

Try to do it the same day.

I usually throw it in a mini 30 minutes wash but every now and then I'll out the whole lot through on a proper wash or I do find the smell lingers a bit.

I hang it to air rather than shoving in basket if I'm not doing it same day. Do min twice a week usually 3 times so mostly it doesn't wait anyway.

Glad it's not just me then.

It did get rather whiffy when it lingered in the laundry basket once, I don't even sweat that much.

everton I might pop mine on the line overnight if I know I won't need it for a couple of days.

We normally have a sports wash every day, otherwise two daily. I use Halo sports wash, which seems to mean they are never niffy

My washers on daily so gym gear gets done daily even though I own far too much gym wear. I do train/workout every day though so need lots
