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

I used to use Nathan Sports Wash (liquid detergent) for years to hand-wash my gym/bike wears to keep the stink off of them, but for some reason the detergent is no longer available, and this Active Wear item came up in search results, so I decided to give it a try. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS POWDER DETERGENT, NOT LIQUID. I also realized that this one doesn't lather as much as Nathan or other common detergents. In fact it doesn't lather much at all, which was *initially* a turn-off. But after a few tries, I realized (1) powder vs. liquid isn't really an issue at all :-), (2) it does work just as well (if not possibly better) in keeping the stink off, and (3) the fact it doesn't lather actually helped when I run a washer cycle with this (as Nathan Power Wash probably lathered too much in the drum and often left some soapy residue after the spin). So I'm glad I gave this product a chance. It comes with so much volume that I haven't still finished my first bag after 8 months (and I work out 3-4 times a week), but I'll be sure to buy it again when it runs out.

Regular detergent was leaving my gym clothes and running gear smelling sour again within an hour of putting them on, even right out of the wash. This detergent actually solved it — no more trapped sweat smell in my technical fabrics, even after tough workouts. It's clearly formulated to cut through the odor-causing buildup that regular detergents just mask, and it rinses completely clean without leaving residue that clogs performance fabric (which I think was part of the problem before). No overpowering fragrance either, just genuinely clean-smelling clothes. Safe on all my moisture-wicking gear, no fading or breakdown of the fabric's stretch. This is the only detergent I'll use for activewear now — total game changer for anyone who works out regularly.

This actually works really well. I've used several times for my husband's workout clothing and there is no remaining musty order. Keeps the clothing smelling nicely and removes any stains. Very mild on the skin. I'm very happy with this product. Will definitely order again.

I am a daily gym rat and sweat a lot. Have the same few shorts and handful of shirts I use as my regular gym attire. No matte what I tried, my gym cloths had a perma-stink. During and after workout, sometimes the smell of ammonia, bad underarm skunk, and just overall funk. It was embarrassing. I'd double wash my clothes, use baking soda with detergent. deodorant on the t-shirts themselves. Tried everything from soaking them in vinegar and detergent and water for half a day and then washing them. This would last a few times, but that old smell would creep back in. As soon as body heat started warming up the shirt... I was obviously skeptical. But tried it. After the first wash with only one scoop of this, the next day was significantly noticeable. The clothes didn't stink. Were they perfect? No, but 80% better. After the next wash was 90%. I think if you use this regularly, and use like 1.5 x 2 x the recommended amount, then this by far is the best solution compared to all others. I definitely recommend it. I gave it 4 tars instead of 5 because after a week of using, There are still a couple of shirts that have not been fully removed of smell. We'll see if continued use with larger scoops helps

Finally—a clean laundry detergent that actually works on serious workout odors! I have three very active teenage athletes, and their clothes can get pretty rough after workouts. I’ve tried other clean detergents that left behind that lingering sweaty smell, but this one completely surprised me. Their clothes come out fresh and clean without that leftover odor. I’m sold!

It really works for your workout attire. It gets rid of stains and odors without disturbing the fabric. It also dissolves easily so there is no leftover powder on your garmet.

Works amazing! Night sweats had me ready to toss my bedsheets. They smelled even after washing, so I decided to give this a try. Used 2 scoops and they came out smelling so clean, not even a remnant of odor. This will be a staple in my house from now on.

I have 2 boys in high school baseball. In addition to practice they also workout 5 days a week. Their clothes come home smelling awful. Even after several washes the smell lingers. Ever since buying this detergent it’s been much better. I still run on a heavy duty cycle but the detergent does what others could not. And it’s done it without causing any reactions to my son’s skin. I highly recommend.

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

Good stuff! I sweat through many shirts working or outdoor activities in the hot summer. Some of those just never seem to smell clean after a while. This product has consistently done a good job cleaning and eliminating the musty smell. I’d buy it again.

Helps get the sweaty smell off of clothes, which regular detergent did not do.

amazing product. It really work getting rid of smell!!

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..
