πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ How Often Should You Wash Gym Gear, Towels & Swimwear?

Staying active in Mandurah is pretty much a way of life β€” whether you’re smashing sessions at the gym, hitting the beach, or jumping into the pool at every chance. But with all that activity comes… laundry. Lots of it. πŸ˜…

So how often should you wash your workout clothes, bath towels, and swimwear to keep them hygienic and fresh? Here’s your local guide!


πŸ‘• Gym Gear β€” Every Single Wear

Gym clothing collects sweat, oils and bacteria fast. Leaving them unwashed allows odour-causing microbes to multiply.

βœ… Wash after every workout
βœ… Turn inside out before washing
βœ… Use cold water + quick spin to protect fabrics
βœ… Avoid fabric softeners (they trap smells in stretchy fibres)

At Spin Society, big washers mean you can wash multiple sets in one quick load β€” perfect for regular gym-goers.


πŸ–οΈ Swimwear β€” After Every Swim

Between saltwater at Avalon Beach, chlorine at the pool, and Mandurah’s summer heat, swimwear takes a beating.

βœ… Rinse immediately after swimming
βœ… Wash after each beach or pool session
βœ… Skip the dryer β€” air dry to keep elasticity strong
βœ… Use gentle detergent to protect swim fabric

Tip: Bundle swimwear + microfibre towels into a light, fast wash cycle!


πŸ› Towels β€” Every 3–4 Uses (Minimum)

Towels feel clean, but can hold bacteria and mould if left damp for too long.

βœ… Replace after 3–4 uses
βœ… Wash more often in humid summer months
βœ… Hot wash is best β€” kills germs more effectively
βœ… Dry completely before re-use

Got a family? One big Spin Society load can handle multiple bulky towels easily.
