Washing your exercise routine clothes can be tricky. The tag says to clean them in cold water on the delicate cycle – but that’s not always enough to get the sweaty stink from them. Maybe you’ve tried a creative vinegar and baking soda combination in your washer. However, the simplest way to get smelly odors from clothes is to use Downy’s new Rinse & Refresh Odor Remover.
Downy Rinse & Refresh, Cool Cotton, $12.97
Downy Rinse & Refresh launched in main stores like Walmart and Target at the end of September, and also the brand calls it its “biggest innovation in over 3 decades.” It’s a deep-cleaning fabric rinse that helps remove odor-causing residue three times better than detergent alone, based on an announcement.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m a little self-conscious concerning the way my house and clothes smell. It's my job to wear perfume, and I’m always burning a candle. However, fabrics holds onto odors for a while. Now, after working out, I wash my personal favorite Alo leggings and tops with Downy Rinse & Refresh.
I also recently got a puppy who’s had a few accidents in the bed, on my small Ruggable doormat as well as on my bedding (ugh!). I attempted the Downy fabric rinse on these items to remove the odor of pet urine, and it really worked. Everything comes out smelling incredible – each and every time.
Downy Rinse & Refresh, Fresh Lavender, $12.97
Downy Rinse & Refresh comes in two lovely scents – Fresh Lavender and funky Cotton – and it’s gentle on fabrics and skin. It also acts as a fabric softener, FYI. You can pour it in to the fabric softener drawer or agitator cup when you do your laundry, or add it directly into the rinse cycle, based on your machine.
It’s such an easy key to help make your clothes and other fabrics smell amazing. Personally, I’m stocking up.
