NathanPower Wash Detergent, Natural Sport Detergent for Active Wear, Sports Equipment, Gets Rid of Odors and Stains

so little needed for a washload. Synthetics, everything, is super clean and fresh, with very little per washload. So it's also cost effective... for the best, no scent, really clean clothes.

I use it mostly for our cycling and exercise clothing and have for several years now. Keeps the stink out!

On workout clothes that have run a 1/2 marathon, this gets them clean and fresh and is made to clean my running and cycling clothes. It works, I am happy

This is the only detergent that keeps my workout clothes from stinking (washed in cold, line dried). The only reason it's not 5 stars is the spout design. Other detergents typically have a feature to prevent dripping. This does not. It's very messy. Need to ensure it's ALL out of the cap before securing again (or don't use the cap to measure the detergent for your load)

Okay, I bought this mainly because my mother kept starting loads of wash and forgetting to tell me it was in there, thus I would have every item of clothing I owned washed twice because I'd go to start a load, only to discover a now dry load in the wash. And the funk would not come out. It was awful. I tried home remedies, cleaning out the entire washer, switching brands of detergent, different fabric softeners. It was just covering the underlying funk. You would grab a clean shirt, it would pass the initial sniff, and 15 minute of wear, it would smell like a sweaty gym sock after running a marathon. Awful. So I tried this stuff. And the wash came out of the machine smelling like... nothing. Out of the dryer.. nothing. After wearing... nothing. Just neutral. No more funk. Funk free. No longer did my jeans smell like bog of eternal stench. My shirts were fragrance free and did not cause migraines from all the floral musk of detergents trying to cover the smell. Switched back to original detergent, no funk found. But I will keep this around for my athletic wear/swim wear and if the funk returns due to forgotten washloads.

We use this to wash my son’s fencing socks, pants, jacket, and plastron. Seems to get the smell/dirt out, with no extra wear and tear.

This detergent seems to help get rid of odor in my wicking clothes. It's important to use only a little, because wicking clothes aren't supposed to be washed in too much detergent as it causes problems with the special fibers. I guess you can actually lock in the bad odor. Also, fyi, they are supposed to dry on low with no dryer sheets or fabric softener. I recommend using half the amount of detergent they suggest and adding more each time if you need it until you get to the amount right for getting rid of your bad odor. Some of us are more stinky than others. Use some wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. And if needed, add some vinegar to your wash. Soaking in vinegar and soap helps too.

I don't typically write reviews, but felt compelled to write one for Nathan's. I typically workout 5-6 times/week and so have a fairly large collection of performance wear. I had been using regular detergent for years without any problem, but over the past few months many of my wicking clothes (particularly the tops) started having that smell people often talk about (to me, it smelled like my cat had peed on my clothes - gross!). After washing them, the clothes seemed to be fine, but as soon as I started working out it would bring about this smell. I was about to just replace them, but thought I'd give one of these performance wear-specific detergents a try first. And I'm super-glad I did! After one wash in Nathan's all of my technical clothes are now back to normal. Here's what I did: I filled the washing with warm water, adding one capful of Nathan's (all of my workout clothes combined are about a medium sized load). I didn't add fabric softener because this apparently affects the wicking performance of the clothing and makes the Nathan's less effective. I stopped the cycle as soon as the machine was filled with water and let it soak for about 30 minutes. Then I just ran the normal cycle and dried everything (again, without drier sheets). I've tested all of the clothing by wearing them while working out and everything is back to normal. This stuff is magic!
