SPORT Laundry Detergent

SPORT by b clean co is a plant-based laundry detergent specifically formulated to deep clean activewear, gym gear, sports uniforms, and any clothing that holds sweat, odour and bacteria build-up. It’s designed to de-funk performance fabrics that regular detergents can’t fully clean. Great for activewear, footy uniforms, cricket whites, yoga gear, gym bags, hats, canvas sneakers and even smelly dog beds.

Performance fabrics like polyester and nylon trap sweat, bacteria and body oils deep in the fibres. Regular detergents often can’t penetrate these synthetic materials properly, so odour builds up over time. SPORT detergent contains 5 powerful plant-based enzymes (lipase, protease, amylase, mannanase and cellulase) that break down these biological residues at the fibre level. If your gear has significant build-up, we recommend doing a DE-FUNK soak first, then maintaining with SPORT in every wash.

DE-FUNK is a deep soak process to strip out built-up sweat, bacteria and odour from your sports gear. Add 2-3 scoops of SPORT detergent to 5 litres of hot water and mix to dissolve the powder. Add your items — sneakers, hats, activewear, towels, anything that needs a serious clean — and soak for 2-4 hours. Then transfer to your washing machine and wash as normal with an extra rinse cycle. Once you’ve de-funked, maintain fresh gear by using SPORT detergent in every regular wash.

Add 1 scoop (approximately 45 grams) to your main wash cycle for a standard load. Use half a scoop for smaller loads or hand washing. For best results, wash at 40-60 degrees (always check your garment care labels first), aim for a 3/4 full machine when wet for good agitation, and use a longer wash cycle rather than a quick wash. We also recommend a short prewash followed by a longer main wash for heavily soiled sports gear.
