Six days a week, I am wearing workout clothes. On the other day, I am wearing jeans. That racks up to a lot of laundry! And, I do notice that even with washing- particularly after a workout and before I have changed my clothes that I stink. Now, I know that I sweat, but the stench is pretty foul. Just learned this today, that, my moisture -wicking fabrics after a few washing with the regular detergent will not lift the sweat off the fabric. So, even though I’m wearing a “clean” shirt, I smell after a 30 minute workout.
Introducing, WIN sport detergent. This is a high performance sport detergent! And has been designed to remove the ODOR from your moisture-wicking, Under Armour or Coolmax running clothes. Since I have so much to wash every week, this went into use, the first day I got it. We have a basket specifically for our workout clothes and since receiving the WIN sport detergent, I’ve used it three times or so. This product absolutely REMOVES the stench from my clothes. And when compared to my non-WIN washed clothes, the smelled cleaner and fresher. It’s a pretty classy product for your favorite pricey workout gear!
I know a lot of you have seen this product on other blogs and I agree with the other bloggers that it is pricey. For a small bottle- you get 14 loads of laundry for the price of $8. From the website, I am gathering that it’s only sold online at the moment. Has anyone seen it sold elsewhere? If this product were sold at my local running store or in the grocery stores, I would consider buying it since I have so many workout clothes to wash…but, then again, the shower is always an option.
What do you all think? Anyone else tried it? Do your clothes stink?
It is best that you have the perfect triathlon training schedule to be more effective.

yeah I love WIN
err, i mean i don’t sweat and smell like daisies! I think I may have seen it at Dick’s (or was that the penguin sport wash), but I bought it on amazon awhile back.

When I was researching this product, I’m pretty sure it said it was available at Dick’s. I found multi-packs listed on Amazon, but they are currently under the “Notify me when this becomes available.” status! But if it does become available under Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program, that would probably work out to be a pretty good deal!

I love WIN! I get mine at Dicks and I know it has been there a few months at least. A buddy said they just saw it at Sports Authority too. Great stuff!

We don’t have a Dick’s that I know of in Southern California. Will check out the subscribe and save program!

I’ve washed my sports clothes with regular detergent for the past 10 years and had no problem, until last month. Does anybody know why all of a sudden the sports clothes smell like mildew?

One thing I’ve found with cool-max clothes is that it will absorb (or appears to) moisture out of the air. I know it will pick it up from a nearby wet towel in a bag. Our stuff (mine and my wife’s) gets stinky in the summer even when washed and fully dried. I tried to avoid the dryer when I can to help it last longer. Maybe sun drying or fully soaking with WIN (and multiple rinses/wrings) will help?
