Product Reviews of WIN High Performance Sport Liquid Detergent, Super Oxygenated Formula, 21-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 8)
Product Review: Bye Bye Smelly Clothes/Towels
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent product removes perspiration from bike/hike clothes and sour towels. Won't find it in stores...just order it.Product Review: Bye bye stinky hockey odors
Summary: 5 Stars
My regular detergent just wasn't getting the odor out of my son's hockey garments so I decided to try WIN and I'm happy to report that it did the trick (even using a cold water wash cycle.) I'm ready to buy it by the case now. Thanks!Product Review: Cuts the sour smells!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband's exercise clothes are very stinky and this product is unparalleled in cutting the bad odors. I either do a normal wash load with his exercise clothes and WIN, or a soak for an hour or so in WIN - either one considerably reduces or completely eliminates body odors from his exercise clothes.Product Review: Do you care?
Summary: 1 Stars
Does any one realize you are using this on running/biking clothes? Who cares how you smell when you are running? Don't the clothes get sweaty 10 minutes into the activity anyway? What am I missing?Product Review: Does Everything It Promises
Summary: 5 Stars
Great detergent, does everything that it promises. I don't actually use a washing machine... I simply soak my workout clothes in a sinkful of water (with a couple of dashes of Win), rinse, and then hang to dry. Because I purchase alot of "performance" fabric sportswear, I find that hand-washing and hang-drying are effective at making everything last longer.
PROS:
- It really works. When I wash my clothes using the above method using a regular detergent, I will find that stains will be gone, however little is done for the smell. With the Win detergent, the smell is usually gone.
- It's ability to work consistently is extremely important to me, as I am a serious athlete and enjoy training on a regular basis.
- Does not harm performance fabric - this may be important to you when you wind up spending $60 per sportsbra or running short.
CONS:
- Small bottle, very expensive, hard to find. Not the most convenient product in the world to get, and Amazon regularly sells out of these. If a more commercial (comparable product) or different version would show up on regular store shelves, I would abandon this brand in a heartbeat. I try to order this product in bulk whenever I am able to find it, making the shopping experience for purchasing this product very unpleasant.
For the commenter who mentioned that Win detergent did not work for him - I actually find that there are times when there is a difference in the effectiveness of the detergent. By doing some experimenting, I've found that using a larger amount of the detergent usually fixes this problem. This could be due to the fabric itself being dirtier, or due to the type of fabric you are using. Cotton garments will tend to require more detergent than lycra-based performance fabrics, however this is simply due to the nature of the fabric. Cotton holds more water and sweat and tends to get stinkier.
For the commenter who mentioned that it shouldn't matter how you smell when working out... well, based upon past experience (!), I find it easier to complete a hard workout if I don't smell anything, or only smell detergent. When exercising heavily, you tend to breathe much harder (and more quickly), and sometimes that makes you more sensitive to smell. It's not always necessarily about how you smell to other people!
