“If your clothes look clean but smell bad, they’re not clean” - The Washington Post.
More than 60 percent of today’s laundry is synthetic or blended fabrics, but traditional detergent was never designed to clean those fabrics — they were always focused on stain removal. But odors from bacteria, mold, and mildew are now the real problem, and they can’t be dealt with by simply covering them up with added fragrances. Smell-making bacteria will collect anywhere that's warm and wet. As such, your armpits are their favorite breeding ground. This is why your workout clothes still stink after being washed. If your gym clothes look clean but smell bad, they’re not clean.
Washing clothes in hot water helps solve this problem, but most of us are not working out in clothes made from natural fibers such as cotton that can withstand hot temperatures. Instead, we are wearing clothing made from synthetic fibers that require cold water washing.
This problem is exacerbated in performance clothes that contain channels or grooves that enhance wicking. Body soils can become trapped in these grooves, making them even more difficult to remove. That is why odors are a common problem with performance fabrics.
Sweating through a workout is great, but, once the workout is over, however, no one wants that sweaty smell to remain in their gym clothes. Workout clothing often builds up unpleasant odors, even after washing. At the same time, high-performance activewear can be quite expensive, so you don't want to ruin it in the wash.
Washing high-performance gear takes some extra care. These are not your plain cotton T-shirts and sweatpants that can tolerate hot washes and machine-drying.
You should not use fabric softener for any sportswear, as this will damage the membrane of the fabric. Functional sportswear is becoming more technical and complex. The fillers, bleach, and optical brightener contained in conventional detergents have been shown to reduce the breathability of the functional fabrics and do not allow optimal transport of perspiration from inside to outside.
As a result, the laundry can only be cleaned incompletely. The unpleasant smell of sweat often persists after washing.
But sweat itself doesn't smell! Instead, the odor is produced when the bacteria that live naturally on our skin feed on a particular kind of oily sweat.
The key to breaking the bond between the sweaty smell and the fabric is Ozone. Ozone sanitizing treatment is approximately 3,000 times more effective than bleach, and it also kills MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant superbugs that otherwise can't kill. Ozonated water penetrates deep inside the fibers, killing bacteria and eliminating odors without compromising the high-performance activewear.
While a hard sweat session often feels rewarding, a lingering smell on workout clothes (even after washing them) can present challenges when it comes to getting ready for the next gym visit.
Gym clothes absorb sweat throughout a workout. No matter what your workout clothing is made of, it’s possible for stubborn sweat smells to remain, even after a cycle in the traditional wash.

"We analyzed the differences in viral environmental stability between the SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan strain and all variants of concern (VOCs). On plastic and skin surfaces, Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron variants exhibited more than two-fold longer survival than the Wuhan strain and maintained infectivity for more than 16 h on skin surfaces. The high environmental stability of these VOCs could increase the risk of contact transmission and contribute to their spread"- bioRxiv
But there's a Solution 👉 WONDERTOOL™ prepares ozone-charged water for cleaning in the house – germs, bacteria, and viruses will be destroyed. This is the best way to ensure uncompromised cleanliness in the house.
"It was shown that after 30 seconds of in vitro direct exposure to ozone, 99 percent of the viruses are inactivated. Although this evidence is of considerable importance, outside of the laboratory models, there are various parameters that influence the time required to obtain the same result. First of all, it was seen that the inactivation of 99% of viruses by ozonation requires its spread at concentrations higher than those necessary for the bacteria. A longer exposure time, about 30 minutes, is necessary for the treatment of the surfaces of the environment (surface viruses), while for any viral particles suspended in the air (airborne viruses) 8-10 minutes are enough to remove 99.9% of them. Viruses in water are more susceptible to ozone inactivation and short contact time, about 1 min or little more, are sufficient to inactivate 99% of them"-US National Institutes of Health
Many mothers take every precaution to clean baby toys and personal care items thoroughly. Despite all the mother's cleaning efforts, it is all too often true that baby toys, tipple cups, and teething rings are contaminated. Many toys are breeding grounds for mold, bacteria, and dust mites that thrives in darkness and moisture.
Such hidden growths inside of baby items may be causing your child’s mold related illness.
You think that you are helping your baby when you clear out his/her stuffy little nose… but think again! A mom made national headlines by cutting a nasal bulb in half and discovering that it was full of mold. She was inadvertently injecting mold into her baby’s sinus each night when she suctioned his nose before bed. She always cleaned her son’s nose bulb with hot soapy water after each use, but nevertheless, the inside of the syringe full of disgusting and dangerous mold.
WONDERTOOL™ can prepare ozone-charged water for cleaning – mold, bacteria, and viruses will be destroyed, and you can finally clean it all back to its original sterile cleanliness.
Ozonated water is one of the most effective disinfectants known for fruits and vegetables, but it does not leave hazardous residues on their surfaces.
Ozone was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an antimicrobial agent still in 2001, and it has since been used to combat bacteria and chemical residue
Hand-washing fruits and vegetables remove only about 70% of pesticides and germs. But the ozone successfully disinfects and kills 99% of bacteria and viruses while reducing water and energy consumption. This is more difficult to do with traditional methods of washing using a lot of hot water and even bactericides in sterilization.
WONDERTOOL™ - the best bio-protection practice - keep your healthy by providing protection from agro-chemicals, bacteria, and viruses!
WONDERTOOL™ in just a few minutes gently washes fruits, berries, vegetables and salad greens to 99% purity.
