BUILT TO PERFORM. PRONE TO STINK.
Polyester, nylon, and spandex are the superheroes of performance — stretchy, breathable, durable. But they have a dark side, they trap sweat, oil, and bacteria like pros.
STRONG, STRETCHY — AND SURPRISINGLY STUBBORN
Polyester, nylon, and spandex are built to stretch, breathe, and bounce back — perfect for yoga and training.
But under a microscope, these fibers look very different from cotton. They’re smooth, dense, and tightly woven, which makes them amazing at supporting movement… and amazing at trapping sweat, skin oils, and microbes.
SWEAT ISN’T THE PROBLEM — IT’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Sweat itself is (mostly) sterile. The odor starts when sweat meets the bacteria and oils on your skin.
Those molecules slip into the tight spaces inside synthetic fibers. Add heat, humidity, and time — and microbes form biofilm, a microscopic glue-like shield that traps odor deep inside your clothes.

Performance fabrics perform for you — and for bacteria. The tighter the fibers, the tougher the clean.
DESIGNED FOR COTTON. USED ON SYNTHETICS.
Most detergents were originally formulated for cotton — a fabric with open, absorbent fibers. On synthetics, those formulas don’t reach the tight, dense spaces where odor lives. They clean the surface, mask the scent, and leave the biofilm untouched. When heat and fresh sweat hit, the odor comes right back.
MADE FOR THE FABRICS YOU ACTUALLY WEAR
Soulution is built for modern activewear.
-
Surfactants lift sweat, oils, and grime from tight fibers.
-
Enzymes + deoxyribonuclease break down the biofilm where odor lives.
-
Before technical swatch test (coming)
-
Anti-redeposition agents keep loosened gunk from sticking back on.
-
Cationic polymer creates a smooth layer that stops new bacteria from grabbing on between washes and wears.

After technical swatch test (coming)
SMALL HABITS. BIG DIFFERENCE.
-
DO
Wash soon after class
Don’t let sweat “set.”
-
DO
Air out damp gear
(no steaming in gym bags).
-
DO
Skip fabric softeners
They coat fibers and trap residue.
-
DO
Use cold water
Soulution was engineered for it.
-
DO
Use 2 pumps
Concentrated means “less is more.”
-
DO
Reset Soaks
Gear with chronic odor issues will benefit from a full detox.
