Wear Laundry Detergent & Soak - Formulated for Sweat and Workout Clothes - Natural Performance Concentrate Enzyme Booster Deodorizer - Powder Wash for Activewear Gym Apparel (90 Loads)

This is a great product! Ive been using it for a few years now and have it on subscribe. I add it to every load. If you have kids in sports or you go to the gym or you just active or not (really can be used in every load, regardless), this is for you. Clothes can get a dingy, musty smell after awhile and this takes it right out. Along with getting stains out and clothes brighter in my opinion. Mainly use it to get the smell out of clothes though. Works like a charm every time. I also only wash my laundry in cold water and it still works. It comes with a scoop and is very simple to use. The only thing I'm not fond of is searching for the baggy with the scoop in it in the powder when I open it to use it at first; powder gets everywhere no matter how cautious you are. The powder does not have a smell to it. Plus, one of my kiddos has very sensitive skin and it does not irritate hers; never had an issue.

Purchased specifically for cycling wear and also use it for bedding. Provides a fresh, clean wash and smell without perfumes. Only small amounts needed per load that allows for an economical, long lasting purchase.

I work out 7 days a week and often do a workout in the morning and will often cycle or run in addition. I have used this with all my workout clothing and I sweat....a lot. I will often have 2 sets of workout clothes a day ( yes I have a job) I normally get to the point where I throw out up to 7-10 shirts throughout the year as they finally just smell too bad. When I first bought this detergent, I soaked my clothing and then washed them per the instructions. But they still smelled so I thought it didn't work. I had been using products like Hex and Wynn and they worked better than normal detergent but I would still throw my shirts away in a year instead of 6 mos. But I just kept washing with Active Wear for the first month and as soon as I would sweat, my clothes still smelled. I then started noticing after a month of constant washing, the smell started going away. Then finally one day my wife says....hey you don't smell! It was probably after 6 weeks of constantly using. I figured they just needed a few full washes to completely clean. Couple things I noticed, the little bit of detergent you use seems to be working. I was using way too much in the beginning thinking it wasn't working but I think it just took a month of washing to really get the smell out. I also use for my cycling gear and works really well. I have a lot of expensive winter gear for cycling and this works great and seems to not be affecting the gear. I am a huge merino wool base layer/sock fan( Icebreaker/Smartwool/Unbound) and I am now using this to wash that gear and seems to work extremely well. I use a Wahoo Ticker X and I throw a little powder and water in a Tupperware container, shake it for a couple minutes, rinse and it is the only thing that keeps that smelling new and hasn't damaged the strap. I also have used this to wash my Vans insoles (removable Ultra Cush). I go sock less and they can get pretty funky and this works for this also. BTW I also use a front loading machine and add the detergent to the tub, let it fill and dissolve, then I add the clothing. So I am now on my 2nd bag and the 19.99 is cheaper then throwing out my 30-40 dollar Nike Dry Fit shirts. I also noticed my new shirts never got to the point of smelling. So lesson is, best to use this stuff from the get go and keep washing the old stinky stuff, it just needs 5-6 washes to get back to new condition. Clearly I highly recommend. One bad thing, the bag is a pain that it comes in. I thought I closed the zip lock and it tipped over on top of my washing machine.....took me 20 mins to clean. I now put it in an Oxo Pop container I got at like the TJ Max for 5.99 and scoop it out of there.

This stuff seriously works miracles. I didn't have very high expectations because we have workout clothes that have years worth of smells, but after a couple washes the smells are completely gone. I didn't think it was possible! If you are considering purchasing this product, I promise it is worth every penny.

Waited over a year to post this so I could judge long term product usage. The challenge: sport garments such as polyester blend jogging pants, shirts, fleece vests and jackets, would have a permanent sweat-stank smell. I tried hot water, cold water, different detergents, different washing machines, even soaked garments in a solution of Odoban for 36 hours (a cleaning, anti-bacterial liquid) all to no avail. The garments would smell fine after washing (using Tide, All and other detergents) but 15-30 minutes after putting them on, the sweat smell would return - it was like the garment had been worn for 8 hours at the gym. It seems that the warmth of the body activated the smell to come out of the fabric. I used the Active Wear detergent and kept track of the # of washings. After just 2, I noticed that, for example, a sleeve would smell ok after an hour or two but maybe the chest area or the other sleeve would smell bad. Eventually, after repeated washings, the garments improved and became wearable again. So this was fantastic - I thought I would need to throw away a bunch of clothes, but I now had a solution. Long term: some garments are stubborn - I may get a normal full day of wear without any smell but other times, the smell will return after wearing for an hour (I'm not talking about wearing them while running in mid July - just wearing the garment in the house). Also, if a garment happened to be washed in regular detergent, by mistake or if we were staying in someone's home and used their laundry supplies, that darn smell would return after that one washing and wearing it for under an hour. So, that's why I headlined this as "Not a cure but the best product so far". I typically use a little more than one scoop of Activewear powder, tossed directly into the washer drum, cold water, and less than a full load garments.

On top of doing a great job of removing the sweat smell from my t-shirts, it also left my washing machine smelling fresh and clean. I’ll definitely be purchasing this again when I run out.

I have ordered a 2nd bag of this detergent. It takes the smell right out of musty clothes. Those sweaty athletic clothing sitting for a day or so in the basket also come out with a clean scent. The clothes do get clean from using this soap! It’s part of my laundry routine. It’s easy, I add a scoop (which comes with the bag) to a smaller amount of regular detergent. Love it and it’s a family owned business! So that’s another bonus!

I received the product teared opened !!! And sealed back with a tape !! Not recommended!

I have been using this for the last 8 months. It works ok on my polyester work out clothes. Where I really think this works great is on my bathroom towels and cotten t-shirts. I just put a scoop in the bottom of the washer drum and put the items in. I don’t use any laundry detergent. The towels come out smelling fresh. Same with the t-shirts. Usually with the t-shirts you could smell underarm body odour after wearing them for a few hours. With this stuff, no more body odour. I know they advertise this for polyester clothing, but I have had great results with cotton clothing.

Keeps my laundry fresh

Very impressed with the product. It removed built up from active wear clothing in the first wash and left the clothes smelling clean and fresh.

works really well... i use it for my hockey cloths... gets that hockey stink out of hockey shirts.. so i decide to try it on my elbow guards... boy do they smell bad... i put them in the washer and got a bit of the smell out.. so next step got a bucket added i scope and soaked them for a while let them dry and smell was gone... so far when rewearing the clothing and elbow pads.. smell didnt return but im sure it will... but if washing it here and there takes the smell out well worth it..
