Activewear Detergent for Sports Laundry

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.

THE BEST LAUNDRY DETERGENT I HAVE EVER USED! I'm in the gym 5 days a week,I sit in the sauna for about 30 minutes. Also,I am in menopause so I am sweating a lot. I start4med to use the product for only my gym clothes. Then I read some of the reviews,and one review said they used the products for all of their clothing. I used it for all of my clothes..OMG! It took out the sweat smell and cleaned with no powdery residue. This is a GREAT product! I will no longer buy that flowery smelling non cleaning detergent. Also, a little goes a long way.

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.

Works pretty good for cleaning my wrestler’s dirty clothes and getting the stink out. I had to use a lot more than recommended so ran out of it fast. We have front loaders so the stink from that sometimes gets in our clothes. I was able to get the clothes a little more fresh but they are still having the underlying musty stench that comes from wet clothes that sit for a while. It takes a lot of soaking to fix that and this is the best product I’ve found for the Job.

I'm so pleased with this product! I have a couple of sports bras that are mainly used for summer gardening and yardwork, and they had a persistent unpleasant odor. I tried several things, including a vinegar and baking soda soak, and nothing worked. I did some looking around at specialty detergents, and read the great reviews for Active Wear. I was a little surprised at the price, but decided to give it a shot. I put the bras in a large mixing bowl full of cold water with two scoops (the scoops are very small) of Activewear, and let it sit for several hours. They were fresh from the laundry before going into the bowl, but at the end of the soak, the water was actually slightly brown. Yuck! I then ran them through a cold wash with other yardwork clothes and 2 scoops of Active Wear. It's amazing - the smell is GONE! I used one for a tough work day, and even though it was damp and warm, there was ZERO bad odor. I am a big fan of this detergent now - the price is worth it, and the bag will last forever!

Reliably takes the smell out of my technical fabrics. And I appreciate that it’s made in the US. Thanks Active Wear!

Easy to use, reduces sweaty musty polyester odor build up. I prefer these enzyme powder and no fragrance detergents.

Amazing soap, everything smells so fresh without heavy scent. Two healthcare workers in the house so we have to be careful about that. Defiantly recommend! I love the fact as well I’m not throwing away big plastic jugs.

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.

So far working great to remove even odour that’s been stuck in clothing for uears

Keeps my laundry 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..
