"Do I smell?"

That constant second-guessing. The phantom sniff-check. The silent fear in meetings, at the gym, on dates. Your clothes smell fine out the wash—then you warm up and it's back.

Clean isn't clean if it still smells.

OXIA eliminates odours at the source—not masks them with fragrance.

It's not just annoying—it's expensive

Persistent odours cost you more than you think.

Loss of confidence
Constant second-guessing. Do I smell? Are people keeping distance?
Wasting money
Re-washing loads. Hot washes as a last resort. Binning expensive kit early.
Ruined clothes
Over-washing breaks down fabrics. Your £60 gym top lasts 6 months, not 3 years.
Skin problems
Bacteria build-up in fabric causes rashes, breakouts, and irritation.

"I Washed some clothes I use for heat training - so the sweatiest clothes possible. I'm really impressed with how it pretty much completely neutralized all odours. Have used sport specific detergents in the past and they've not been this good."

Dorian, Heat training

Why your clothes still smell after washing

It's not your fault. Standard detergents aren't built for this.

What's actually happening

Sweat proteins stick to synthetic fabrics — polyester is the worst

Bacteria feed on the residue and create biofilm

Heat reactivates the smell when you move or sweat again

Masking with fragrance just covers it temporarily

The smell comes back, often worse than before

How OXIA fixes it

Bio-enzymes (proteases) break down sweat proteins

Eliminates odour compounds instead of masking them

Works on synthetic fabrics — activewear, base layers, chef whites

Stays fresh when you warm up — no smell return

Light, neutral scent — not heavy perfume

Bio-enzymes: the science bit

This isn't magic. It's molecular breakdown.

Proteases (5%)
Bio-enzymes that specifically target and break down sweat proteins
Odour elimination
Destroys odour compounds at the molecular level—doesn't mask them
Rinses clean
Gentle surfactants wash away completely—no buildup, no residue
Built for
Gym kit & activewear
Chef whites & kitchen uniforms
Work boots & trainers (insoles + laces)
Base layers & compression gear
Works on
Synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon)
Cotton & natural fibres
Technical performance fabrics
30°C or 40°C washes
How to use
Use 30g per wash (don't overdo it)
Works on short cycles
Effective at lower temperatures
Air dry for best results

Shoes don't stink. Insoles do.

Spraying them is just perfume on top of bacteria. Wash the parts that hold the odour.

How to wash trainers properly
1)Remove insoles + laces (if washable)
2)Put in a wash bag or pillowcase
3)Wash on a short cycle at 30°C
4)Air dry completely before reassembling
Works on: Trainers, gym shoes, work boots, insoles, laces
Why it works

Most shoe odour lives in the insoles and laces—not the shoe itself.

Bio-enzymes break down the sweat proteins and bacteria causing the smell.

You're treating the source, not masking it with deodorant spray.

"40 degrees on 2 pairs of trainers and both were certainly kinder of the nasal passage."

— Barry

Fresh when dry. Fresh when warm.

The win isn't just "smells okay out the wash"—it's that it doesn't come back.
