HEX Performance Laundry Detergent Packs for Activewear & Technical Fabrics, Deep Odor & Sweat Removal Without Fragrance, Eco-Friendly Biodegradable Formula, HE Compatible, Unscented, 75 Count

really works, nice fragrance but not overpowering, actually does what is promised for sports cloths

This is the ONLY product I have found that truly takes the stench of workout clothes out, completely. The smell is decent enough. I add downy beads to the wash. I will forever be a consumer as long as I am a gym rat and a runner.

I was desperate enough to risk what could easily have been overpriced soap, but it actually does work to get my rashguards and ski socks clean. Now they don't grow that locker funk after a few days in the drawer. Hex also seems to have gotten the mildew smell out of a pair of jeans that had been left in the washer. One word of advice - do not mix colors the first time you wash a garment with this stuff. Even though my rashguard was very faded from sun and washing and was normally safe to wash with everything, this managed to lift some unfixed dye and leave me with pink socks. This has not been a problem once past that first load, and it does not seem to fade coloured garments generally. In other words - the detergent did what it was supposed to - I just didn't believe enough! The unscented product does leave a very faint sweetish smell a little like chalky candy. I only notice it when my face is buried in the fabric, and it doesn't give me headaches, so that works for me.

I swear by the unscented Hex, cleans synthetic athletic clothes better than anything else I've used, love that it's septic-safe, and can't beat the price given how long a bottle lasts. My only complaint is that the dosing cap for the new bottle design is prone to spills and otherwise messier than the old style.

This really does help eliminate orders in your laundry. Not just from people but from pets too!

HEX Performance is definitely my favorite detergent for my workout and technical fabric/gear laundry, but I usually get it directly from the HEX website (cheaper than on Amazon, regular 20-30% off deals). I only purchased this set of two detergents as it was a good Amazon Prime Day deal. It might be a gimmick, but this gimmick works for me. I just wish the brand was more transparent with the ingredients (actually provide ingredient lists on the packaging). I'm very active and quite picky with my workout clothes, so I always use special sports detergent as I like to protect my investments. HEX Performance is the best sport laundry detergent I have found and it's worth every penny for this purpose. I have a top loader, non HE and it suds well. Personally I find this too expensive to use with all my laundry, when cheaper options like Borax, washing soda and Castille soap work so well. I noticed a difference in the way my activewear feels and looks from the first wash with this detergent. My clothes were in good shape, but now the material looks brand new... even clothes I have for 2-3 years have a better texture. The colors are also more vibrant. It's also great for waterproof and technical material clothes. It gets all the grime and stink from my workout clothes, and I love it has no added perfume (I don't like my clothes to smell like laundry detergent). The Free and Clear version might not be fragranced, but it has a soapy fresh scent that wears off after I take the clothes from the drier. It might not be as efficient on old hard stains, but usually my workout clothes are dark and don't get very dirty. I have some old white running socks which I used for a mud run and are `grey` since then; this detergent didn't make them sparkling white again but it keep new stains out of the way. I didn't find this on EWG to validate it's environmentally friendly truly (and the brand is not transparent with the ingredients)... but let's say I like they claim the product is designed with environment considerations. Regarding the packaging, I personally like the pouch better than these bottles, but the detergent is the same quality.

I am new to this product. I saw it had good reviews so I bought it. The bottle design is beyond terrible. It is impossible to measure it out without spilling. I wonder what was going through the design team’s head. The detergent seems to be ok, it got the smells out of my clothes but even the unscented detergent leave a kind of musty smell. I will not be buying again.

This product works so well that I am almost suspicious: are the underlying chemicals turning me into a mutant?! OK, I am a 230 lb fattie who exercises 2-3 hours/day, sometimes in 100F heat. In other words, I sweat like a pig (unfair to pigs actually since I inevitably SOAK my exercise clothes far beyond what any pig could sweat). I was stinking to the point of having to soak my clothes in detergent DURING my post-exercise shower...then using the most powerful wash setting in the washing machine with DOUBLE the amount of typical detergent...and sometimes even then I had to do a second round in the washing machine with another cup of detergent. In other words, I was pushing my old detergent to the limits, and it wasn't getting it done. I used about 5-6 tablespoons (i.e., a miniscule amount) of HEX with a WEEK's worth of the grossest, sweat-drenched exercise clothes on the planet on the LOWEST, cold-water wash setting, and, within 20-30 minutes, the clothes were the cleanest they've been since I bought them. Hence why I am now skeptical...it works too well. Is it dissolving my skin now?! Anyway, assuming it doesn't kill me, this is the most incredible detergent I've ever bought, and I don't think I will ever go back to "regular" laundry detergent. From the label, this is apparently SAFER for you and BETTER for the environment, and if that is indeed the case, this detergent will replace all others within 5-10 years. To emphasize its magic even further. Today, I went for a grueling jog, stunk like hell, came back, and, as I was about to take a shower, I noticed my bottle of Hex was open. As I went to close it, I splattered some on my hands. Not wanting to waste it, I rubbed it on the front of my gross, sweaty shirt. After a few hours (having forgotten this), I went to do laundry, and I noticed that the front of my jogging shirt (where I rubbed the Hex) smelled totally fine/clean/like new. The back (where I did NOT rub any Hex in) smelled atrocious. I have no idea how it works so well, and I almost don't want to know!
