Most people love the smell and feel of a freshly washed T-shirt or sweatshirt. There’s the homely scent of fabric softener, that comforting feel, and the knowledge that your favorite piece of clothing is wonderfully clean. However, in an age of climate crisis, when we are more aware of our environmental impact than ever, are we overdoing it and washing our clothes too frequently? How often is too often? Do different types of items require washing more or less regularly? To answer all these questions and more, the Polygiene team has compiled a comprehensive guide to washing your clothes.
If you’re looking for a new base layer, there’s a good chance you’re considering either a merino wool or synthetic design.

Which you select will be influenced by a diverse array of factors, ranging from odor control and longevity to sustainability concerns and budget. With this in mind, we created a comprehensive guide to the merino vs synthetic base layer debate, helping you make an informed decision about which is right for you.

From breathable natural fibers to additive anti-odor technologies like Polygiene’s solutions, there are several ways to integrate scent-blocking properties into apparel.
