One of the pitfalls of working out is the nasty smell it leaves in your clothes and no matter how well you wash things or how quickly you do so after working out, the inevitable always happens. You end up throwing away things because the smell is forever embedded in your clothes and they start falling apart. Fitness apparel is not cheap either. So why not make those investments last longer by using a detergent designed specifically for sports apparel like WIN Sports detergent?
I spend a more money on my fitness apparel because it lasts longer than apparel made with lower quality fabrics. When I first became serious about working out, I was buying fitness apparel at Target which is perfectly fine but it doesn’t last long. For me, it’s important to keep my apparel as long as possible to get the most out of my investment. The other problem is living in Arizona, the water is extremely hard which automatically reduces the life of my fitness gear. Most fitness apparel are made with synthetics which keep you dry when you’re getting your sweat on. But those same fabrics also retain oils which overtime transform into a stinky smell.
That’s where WIN comes in. WIN is designed to remove oils and residues that cause odor from synthetic fabrics. Although WIN is optimized for synthetic fabrics, it can be used on any athletic apparel. According to their website, it’s recommended you wash with WIN and line dry your clothes instead of using a dryer.
WIN comes in a green version or blue version. The green version is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. This is perfect for someone like me who is sensitive to all detergents and many fabrics. I look like I have the measles when I use something that irritates my skin. I’m happy to confirm my body was happy with WIN. No rashes for this gal. WIN is also HE (high efficiency) friendly. This is important to me too as my washer is high efficiency.

[Tweet “WIN Sports Detergent & Giveaway”]
This is a fantastic giveaway! I so need this for my workout clothes!
I would love to try this! I am running through the same scenario where my clothes are starting to stink as I immediately begin to sweat. Ugh so frustraring.
I wash and wash and the clothes fade away their colors… so I would love to try this new product and better yet–win it!!
I would love to try this!! I have WAY too much smelly laundry..
I’ve been curious about this detergent. I am so not good about being careful with my workout stuff. I just wash it all together on cold. Too much of it and too little time. Oops.
I wash mine altogether too.
I wash my clothes with lots of detergent!
I’ve never used a sports detergent before. Sounds interesting. I don’t typically separate my regular clothes from my workout clothes though. Do you know how this detergent would work with regular clothing?
I actually did by mix two loads by accident & it worked very well. The smell was amazing.
Currently when things get really stinky I use the same method most use for stinky towels. Wash with vinegar, wash with baking soda, wash with detergent. WIN sounds much, much easier!
I’ve wanted to try a sports detergent. I typically use tide and the smell is wonderful with the febreeze scent.
After work outs I always store each item in a different plastic bag until i get home then i quickly was them to try and not let the sweat linger!
I just started using a sports detergent and have noticed a difference in my workout clothes not coming out of the wash still stinky. Now if I could only get my husband to remember to use it….
I usually use Tide on all of my clothes but I would love to try this product.
I like to put dryer sheets in my drawers to keep my clothing fresh. 🙂
It’s so hard to keep fitness stuff from not getting stinky! I try to not wear mine more than once and I do laundry really often. I also always hang dry my workout clothes. That seems to help. Would love to try win!
I just wash it with regular detergent-which doesn’t work that well-I’ve tried other sports detergents, but I didn’t like the smell, so I would love to try this!
I wash my clothes in Tide and add vinegar to the wash. Helps but I would love to try Win!!
I let my clothes air dry (hanging up) after a workout before tossing them in the laundry basket – that way, my understanding is there is less opportunity for bacteria to breed then if you have a big pile of wet sweaty clothes.
Oooh…great idea Laura!
I guess by washing it before it gets really dirty. The dirtier it is, the harder it is to clean. I also put dryer sheets in the dryer to improve the smell.
I soak the clothes first and then use extra detergent
I wash immediately! Definitely helps….
I wash my clothes with detergent and vinegar
I have no special way – I just use whatever laundry detergent is around and hope for the best.
