WIN Activewear Detergent - Free and Clear - 32oz Bottle - Sports Detergent for Sweaty Workout Clothes and Team Uniforms

After many other detergents and concoctions in trying to remove the funk from the husband's Jiu-jitsu gear, I did a couple soaks in this and the smell was gone, mind you the basin water was nasty afterward.Now I just use it in the washing machine after class and it's been great. I really wish I bought this sooner and saved myself a whole lot of hassle.

I tried many different sport wash varieties before discovering this one. Probably on my 10th bottle. A little goes a long way, and it really takes any sweat smells or funk out of sport fabrics.

My family is all into running- cross country, track, coaching, etc. AND I have all boys (plus my husband). They run A LOT and they sweat A LOT, and their clothes were becoming gag-inducing smelly. I washed with our usual, free & clear detergent (no fragrance due to sensitive skin, so no masking bad odors). I recently opened the warm dryer and was HIT in the face with awful odors...running clothes that came out STILL smelling like sweat and B.O.Enter this detergent. This wonderful, yet more expensive detergent. We have been using it for running clothes and not only can I now open the dryer without gagging, but the clothes actually no longer smell! And this is still the fragrance free detergent we're using.It costs more than our usual detergent, but it gets the job done and is SUCH a relief.At least for now, I don't have to burn icky clothes or throw them far, far away. The detergent is that good.

The reviews for this product were raving so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, my experience, after several uses, has been anything but. I live, work, and play in Florida so my clothes get really sweaty. I've tried a bunch of different products to clean my smelly synthetics and some have worked better than others. I rank this one below average. It simply didn't do anything special. I followed the directions but after a wash then dried, my clothes still had that "not quite clean" smell. To be fair, the bottle says for extra smelly clothes to soak them in a diluted solution for 20 minutes before washing as normal. By the end of the week I have a good size load of synthetics to wash and I don't have the time, nor a container large enough, to soak them all. In short, I'll keep looking and won't buy this stuff again.

The most important thing is this product works in a cold wash. It does an excellent job on my cycling gear.
