My husband and I are avid fitness enthusiasts. That means we ENJOY working out. It also means we wear a lot of fitness clothing typically made of tech material. Since my hubby cycles plus hits weights, he typically sweats up his tops and bottoms tech gear. I run around in boot camp, outdoors and in the gym with weights so I also sweat in my fitness clothing practically daily.
What we were discussing was while we love the tech gear for its sweat-wicking abilities, we noticed over time, it holds in odors. We determined the culprit was the oil left behind on the tech apparel that doesn’t easily wash out with regular clothes detergent. Even though we washed our fitness gear daily with all types of detergents we thought would be effective, they weren’t. Eventually we would start smelling remnants of past workout’s odors. Either in the armpit, crotch (sorry to gross you out) area or socks.
We had resolved ourselves to throwing out what we had and purchasing new fitness clothes every 3 to 6 months. And then I heard about WIN Sports Detergent. Here’s what I learned about it that caught my attention:
WIN Detergent is designed to remove sweat, oil and odors from technical athletic/sports apparel.
Simple words but exactly what I was looking for.
Here’s what I thought of it.
Review:
I threw in a bundle of workout clothes directly after a sweat session outdoors on the pavement. I tossed in my sweaty socks, capri running pants, sports bra, racer back tank and pullover.
I received 2, 32 oz bottles of WIN Sports Detergent (regular – blue cap and fragrance and dye free – green cap). I decided to wash my laundry with the blue cap. I put it on regular wash with warm water and afterwards put them in the dryer. I immediately pulled them out of the dryer and went to sniff the armpit. EUREKA no odor at all. I even wore the items again to workout and nothing. I wanted to kiss those 2 miracle bottles. I didn’t stop there, I continued to wash my husband’s workout gear plus my son’s since he is starting sports and I have to say – WIN Sports Detergent does what it says it is going to do and that is all I really ever look for in a product.
Pros:
- It is effective
- Works well in high efficiency washer machines (which I own)
- Made in the U.S.A.
- Eco-friendly packaging
- Dye and fragrance-free product options
- Oh yeah, very affordable – $10.95 for a 32 oz bottle.
Cons:
- The top is pretty weird to use. Once I used it to pour detergent into the washer machine, if the cap is not washed out, the detergent will drip down the sides of the bottle from the cap. They should consider a better design for the cap.
- Not easily found in stores. You have to order online.
Rating:
I give this product 9 out of 10 stars. It is a powerhouse, it comes in eco-friendly packaging, affordable and most importantly effective. I could not give it a full 10 stars because you can’t purchase it in your local retail stores.

Lynne October 20, 2014 (10:35 pm)
Hate having to do the lemon/detergent soak then vinegar rinse to get the odor out of tech clothes – too much extra work!
Stacy October 21, 2014 (5:17 am)
It takes a while for the clothes sometimes to feel comforable in since they are a bit stiff.
Amy Pratt October 21, 2014 (8:00 am)
They are too expensive for my budget.

Yes the odors are the worst part! I seriously consider tossing pieces once I get to where they never smell clean! I totally would if they didn’t cost so much!

Getting sweaty smells out is the worst part, but I love dri-tech so I keep using it

My biggest pet peeve is the price. Also, many of my stretchy or dri-fit clothing is very prone to snags.

I received these to test out myself and was curious about your review. I haven’t tried the blue cap yet, but now I’m looking forward to it. I guess I’ll have to do the sniff test too!

biggest pet peeve? Well, I hate how most of it need to air dry to make it last longer, preserve it’s life and durability or whatever. Who has time for that? I’m lucky if my workout clothes get separated from the kids clothes and such. Hang dry? sure! My husband threw my Hood To Coast relay shirt in the dryer and it got caught on something and put a hole in it! What the heck! That’s never happened before….

My biggest pet peeve is trying to find just the right detergent to use on it. I want something tough enough to clean but gentle at the same time.
Stephanie Larison November 1, 2014 (11:23 pm)
That it’s expensive and then it never really comes clean for me after one time of use.

Bryan E. November 2, 2014 (10:28 pm)
Thanks for the giveaway… biggest pet peeve is that sometimes the garment components i.e. collar, edging, etc. are not made of the same materials, resulting in uneven wearing of the fabric…have several shirts where the collar is pilling after only a dozen gentle cycle washes, yet the majority of the high-tech fabric still looks brand new !
Megan Filzen November 2, 2014 (11:42 pm)
Just having to work them in!
Jessica Whitehouse November 2, 2014 (11:44 pm)
Some types of nylon and spandex will hold a scent and not smell clean. I hate having to re-wash, just to get the smell out.
