HEX Performance Laundry Detergent, Fresh & Clean, 100 Loads (Pack of 2) - Designed for Activewear, Eco-Friendly, Concentrated Formula

Im a marathoner (translate that to 60% of my laundry is sweaty and stinky running clothes). I have struggled for YEARS to find something that will take the faint stink from my running clothes because whatever I do nothing has worked. I just ordered this and did a load yesterday. THIS IS THE WHOLY GRAIL! LOOK NO FURTHER. My running clothes are saved! The faint smell is gone and now they smell amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

HEX Performance is definitely my favorite detergent for my workout and technical fabric/gear laundry, but I usually get it directly from the HEX website (cheaper than on Amazon, regular 20-30% off deals). I only purchased this set of two detergents as it was a good Amazon Prime Day deal.It might be a gimmick, but this gimmick works for me. I just wish the brand was more transparent with the ingredients (actually provide ingredient lists on the packaging).I'm very active and quite picky with my workout clothes, so I always use special sports detergent as I like to protect my investments. HEX Performance is the best sport laundry detergent I have found and it's worth every penny for this purpose. I have a top loader, non HE and it suds well. Personally I find this too expensive to use with all my laundry, when cheaper options like Borax, washing soda and Castille soap work so well.I noticed a difference in the way my activewear feels and looks from the first wash with this detergent. My clothes were in good shape, but now the material looks brand new... even clothes I have for 2-3 years have a better texture. The colors are also more vibrant. It's also great for waterproof and technical material clothes.It gets all the grime and stink from my workout clothes, and I love it has no added perfume (I don't like my clothes to smell like laundry detergent). The Free and Clear version might not be fragranced, but it has a soapy fresh scent that wears off after I take the clothes from the drier. It might not be as efficient on old hard stains, but usually my workout clothes are dark and don't get very dirty. I have some old white running socks which I used for a mud run and are `grey` since then; this detergent didn't make them sparkling white again but it keep new stains out of the way.I didn't find this on EWG to validate it's environmentally friendly truly (and the brand is not transparent with the ingredients)... but let's say I like they claim the product is designed with environment considerations.Regarding the packaging, I personally like the pouch better than these bottles, but the detergent is the same quality.

I only needed to do one load with this detergent to know that I'm going to love it!!!I live in the south where the only thing my body does is 1 sweat buckets & make my clothes stink & 2 run it's mouth ... this laundry detergent fixed one problem & exacerbated the other. I love this stuff, I wish it came in bulk!!!

So I have been on a mission to find the best detergent to remove odors from synthetic fabrics- everything from performance undergarments and yoga pants to synthetic fiber “nice” clothes. They had two main issues- permastink in any clothes that I had been sweating in and deodorant/funk buildup in the armpits of nicer clothes. Regular detergent wasn’t cutting it. Neither was vinegar, baking soda, or borax- tried all of these with no significant improvement. Onto specialty detergents. I ordered 4 different kinds: HEX, Win sports detergent, oxy clean odor blaster (used with Tide pods), and Active wear powder. I used the minimum amount recommended, warm water, and didn’t soak anything, as I wanted to see if my “normal” laundry routine would work. I divided my laundry into 4 small loads, each containing different types of stinky clothes so I could compare. Oxyclean didn’t do anything, though it recommends soaking stinky stuff. I just don’t have 3 hours to soak laundry. Active wear worked well for sweat stinky clothes, but didn’t do well on the deodorant funk. Win was basically the same, though it says to double the amount for really stinky items. HEX, however, took out all smells first wash, with the regular amount of detergent. While it is the most expensive per ounce, it seems to be the most effective. The only thing I don’t like about it is the scent. It is VERY strong and not that pleasant. I will buy the unscented next time, which is supposedly the same cleaning formula, just no perfumes
