Win detergent review


Tired of your workout clothes smelling really bad even after washing them? I learned about this product while volunteering for the Hood to Coast relay run last summer. The person representing it told me his son's stinky football pads and clothes came out smelling great. I figured that any detergent that can combat the odor of a teen boy could handle my running clothes.

Microfiber clothes are great for their quick-drying, wicking, cool, and lightweight properties. They also have many little hidden pockets with lots of surface area where bacteria can harbor which is why they become so rank smelling. I find this is especially bad when I put them in a pile and forget to wash them right away. Within 12 hours, my wife is gagging and strongly suggesting I utilize my laundry skills ASAP.

In a front loading washing machine, I can run a nearly full load of workout clothes with less than the full recommended cap-full amount and everything comes out smelling great. I wash the items that I use a lot with Win every 3rd or 4th time washing, using regular detergent in between. Don't throw away expensive workout clothes just because they are starting to smell. Buy this stuff! You can get it at Fred Meyers, local running stores, or cheaper via the above link on Amazon.
