WIN Detergent Review and GIVEAWAY

Ok I have a gross Workout Wednesday confession for you today. Sometimes I wait a long time to wash my workout clothes. And this isn't because I'm a dainty flower whose sweat smells like roses. Nope, it's due to pure laziness, and my laundry gets pretty stinky.

Case in point: I somehow "didn't have time" to wash my 5 yoga classes and 3 lifts worth of workout clothes, towels. etc. before I left for Thanksgiving. So you can imagine how great this pile smelled when it welcomed me home last week, especially once I added the workout clothes I wore on my trip and then stuffed into an airtight plastic bag.



Thankfully, I could play this off as an attempt to create the perfect conditions to test out a new product I received for review as a Sweat Pink Ambassador: WIN Detergent.



Disclosure: I was provided this product free of charge for review. I was not compensated for my time. All thoughts and opinions are all my own. Obvs :)

According to the company's science page, WIN Detergent is "specially formulated to get persistent, sweaty smells out of the synthetic materials used in today’s workout apparel. Apparently, while these materials are really good at wicking away moisture, they are also good at holding on to oils. This means that fancy fitness clothes are actually MORE prone to smelling bad, which is MESSED UP because you get the most sweaty and stinky in them!

Luckily, WIN is supposed to be optimized to break down the bonds that are trapping smelly oils to your clothes. WIN comes in both a blue-capped regular/lightly scented version as well as a dye-free, fragrance free GREEN version.

I tried out the regular version on the above terrible pile of clothes, and I'm happy to report that it really worked! All of my clothes came out sans that slightly suspect "ok I know I washed this but I also know this was really smelly not to long ago smell". If you ever wait more than a couple days to do laundry you probably know what I'm talking about. At least I hope you do. The GREEN version also removed any bad odors from my clothes, although I liked the very light, clean scent of the regular version.

The only thing I didn't like was the cap situation. The WIN bottles come with a small cap for sealing and another cap for measuring, with each regular load taking two cap-fulls. For some reason, I could not keep from getting detergent all over the bottle, although this could be a personal problem.



So what's the final verdict?

I really like WIN Detergent! It made my smelliest workout gear as fresh as new, and I particularly liked the regular scent. I'd also highly recommend the GREEN version to anyone with fragrance/dye allergies or super sensitive skin.

    1. Oh man! Would be awesome if this detergent would let you only wash them once!

  12. In the past, I was washing my husband's using fabric softener or washing the clothes twice or sometimes soaking first 10-15 minutes. I now use Tide with bleach and a cup of regular white vinegar. This seems to remove most of the smell. I would be interested in trying WIN and having to use only one product.
