I don’t know about you, but I have been noticing lately that my gym clothes smell kind of musty in general after putting them on. It seems to get worse when I warm up or start to get sweaty. They usually smell pretty good in the drawer, but once I put them on they just smell like they are dirty. Not really a salty, sweaty smell like they would have after you are done working out. Just bad.
So, I did what I do in most cases when looking for something specific, I opened Amazon. And when I put “detergent” in the search, I eventually came to this: Active Wear Laundry Detergent & Soak
SOLD! The reviews for this product are 89% four or five stars. And there are actually thousands of reviews. So I knew I needed to push the button and buy these now. So, the laundry detergent came the next day and I had to test it out. Fortunately it seems I always have at least a half a load ready to be washed at all times. And I don’t even have kids, lol. Just my husband and I and our two pugs. We go through some laundry!
This detergent can also be used as a soak, if you have heavily soiled clothes. They recommend soaking for 30 minutes to an hour. I did not utilize this feature. I only used it as my detergent, and that was enough for my clothes.
This product is a powder detergent that is made in the USA. It is plant-based and is phosphate free and septic safe. It is also concentrated, and each bag has enough for 90 loads! So even if you are like me and have a never ending basket of clothes that need to be washed, you won’t run out for a while!
Y’all, this stuff took that musty smell out of my clothes like magic! It doesn’t have a perfumy scent, just fresh CLEAN laundry smell! I ended up washing my whole workout drawer so that everything would smell as good as that first load. I didn’t want to put my clothes back in a drawer with other musty clothes, so really, I had to. One scoop of this stuff in the washing machine makes me smell good when i am at the gym! And I am so grateful. I didn’t realize how bad I must have smelled, because I am mostly nose-blind after wearing these clothes to the gym every day.
Final Thoughts
The 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) is now in my subscribe and save list, and comes to my house every four months. I can’t go back to smelling like a gym bag when I can smell fresh and clean even after I have been sweating for an hour in a gym with other sweaty people.
I have to give this stuff 5 stars, It lasts a long time, does what it advertises, and it is made in the USA, and it is made with plant-based ingredients.
If you can’t seem to get that grimy dirty dog smell out of your clothes, you should really consider this detergent.
