The Laundry Detergent Built for Rugby Kit
Rugby kit comes home in a state nothing else in your laundry basket can match: caked in mud, soaked in sweat, and carrying the unmistakable smell of 80 minutes of contact. Standard detergent gets the visible dirt out and leaves the smell behind.
Titan Wash is an enzyme-powered sports detergent that breaks down the sweat proteins and bacteria embedded deep in your kit — and lifts the mud and grime that comes with the game.
Why Rugby Kit Holds Onto Smell
Rugby shirts are built tough — tight-weave polyester designed to survive being grabbed, dragged, and scrummed. That same tight weave traps sweat proteins and bacteria deep in the fibres. Regular detergents were formulated for everyday clothing and can't reach them, which is why your kit smells fine out of the wash and terrible ten minutes into training.

No optical brighteners. No chlorine bleach. No phosphates.
The Rugby Kit Wash Routine
- Deal with mud first — let it dry and brush off the worst before it goes in the machine.
- Wash promptly — sweaty kit left in a bag overnight is a bacteria incubator.
- Turn kit inside out — sweat and bacteria concentrate on the inside.
- 30g at 30°C — one scoop, cool wash, properly clean kit.
- Never use fabric softener — it traps bacteria in the fibres and makes the smell worse over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it get heavy mud out of my kit?
Yes — brush off dried mud first, then the oxygenating agents lift the remaining residue out of the fabric in a standard 30°C wash.
Is it safe for base layers and compression gear?
Yes. Titan Wash contains no chlorine bleach, the primary cause of elastane degradation, so compression kit keeps its stretch.
Can I wash the whole team's kit with it?
Absolutely. One 750g pouch handles 25 loads, and the 3-pack works out at 43p per wash — practical for club kit duty.
Does it work on cotton training wear too?
Yes. Titan Wash works on every fabric in your kit bag — polyester, nylon, Lycra, cotton, and merino wool.
