The fabrics used are highly-wicking (they will spread moisture out over a large area), fast-drying, and breathable. It is therefore essential to maintain these properties when caring for base layers. Activewear needs to be cared for properly to avoid odor build up… Synthetic sports clothes are fantastic for regulating your temperature and controlling body moisture, but over time, a buildup of bacteria and body oils can lead to them smelling. To keep activewear functioning properly, care must be taken when washing. Using conventional household detergents or fabric softeners can impair wicking properties by causing the fabric to retain moisture. This leads to reduced wicking capabilities, and slow drying of the fabric. Additionally, odors will not be adequately removed; instead, they are masked by perfumes which will fail quickly, leaving you with smelly clothes!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your activewear has been used a few times and is starting to smell, wash it with Nikwax BaseWash to deodorize, freshen, soften, and enhance drying and cooling. Use this product to clean and deodorize fitness clothes, sports uniforms, gym wear, and socks, to keep them in perfect condition. Conventional household detergents and fabric softeners reduce the performance of your activewear… Using conventional household detergents and fabric softeners will impair the wicking properties of active fabrics. Standard household detergents do not stop odors from building up in the fabric when in use. Conventional fabric softeners leave water-hating (hydrophobic) residues that will reduce the performance of the fabric, preventing it from spreading moisture and working to its maximum potential. Nikwax BaseWash outperforms conventional household detergents and fabric softeners at improving wicking, accelerating drying, and removing and preventing odor buildup. For best results make sure you use the correct product… Nikwax BaseWash has been specifically formulated for use when cleaning and conditioning synthetic activewear. If you have merino wool active clothing, make sure you use Nikwax Wool Wash (also sold at Trailhead Paddle Shack) for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHow Nikwax BaseWash Makes Your Synthetic Activewear Perform Better:\u003c\/b\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNikwax BaseWash is easy to use, as it cleans and deodorizes at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNikwax BaseWash refreshes your activewear by deodorizing, and maintains freshness by preventing odor buildup when in use\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNikwax BaseWash also enhances and revitalizes the wicking properties of synthetic sports clothing ,and increases breathability.
