Activewear Detergent removes odors and keeps your favorite workout gear smelling fresh
Your laundry detergent may be the problem. Here’s why…
Loosely Woven Fabrics
Tightly Woven Fabrics
These new technical fabrics commonly used in active wear offer increased breathability and comfort. However, the tightly woven fibers also lock in odor causing sweat and oils much more than traditional cotton fabrics. While fabrics have evolved, your laundry detergent has not. That’s where we come in.
The differences in fabrics results in something we refer to as “the activewear smell cycle”. You’ve tried washing your clothes but the smell keeps coming back. Is it time to replace your clothes? Not so fast!
If you wash your workout clothes with traditional detergent, you’re probably familiar with this cycle:
Traditional detergents are packed with softeners and artificial fragrances to improve the smell of clothing. These detergents coat the fibers in activewear clothing and facilitate the growth of odor-causing contaminants.
ACTIVE Detergent is free of any fragrances, softeners and fillers. It contains a plant-based enzyme blend designed to penetrate technical fibers, breaking down sweat and other oils. The result is truly clean activewear clothing. Click here to learn more.
Pour a scoop of ACTIVE Detergent directly into your washing machine drum. Do not put it in the detergent dispenser tray.
For large loads or heavily soiled clothing, use 2 scoops of detergent.
Throw in any of your favorite workout clothes like leggings, sports bras, gym shorts, and more. ACTIVE Detergent works great on towels too!
Note: we do not recommend using ACTIVE on any organic fabrics like leather.
ACTIVE Detergent works great with any temperature of water and any washing mode.
ACTIVE powdered laundry detergent is formulated with all natural plant-based enzymes that target and eliminate odors caused by sweat and oils.
Compatible with any synthetic fibers found in all popular men’s and women’s activewear clothing brands.
Activewear Detergent is great for leggings, sports bras, shorts, workout shirts, compression gear, yoga pants, jerseys, uniforms, jock straps, underwear, and more.
ACTIVE Detergent is SLS free, phosphate free, gluten-free, and safe for septic systems. Plant-based enzymes are tough on sweat but gentle on skin.
Our concentrated formula contains no filler ingredients so a small amount goes a long way. A single bag of ACTIVE can do up to 90 loads of laundry.
Laundry detergent is one of the most important factors in caring for your clothing, so we understand that you’ll have some questions before purchasing.
Much of today’s clothing is made from “technical fibers” which are synthetic fabrics, different from cotton and wool. These materials are woven tightly which makes it difficult for most detergents to penetrate and clean the fibers.
Traditional detergents end up coating the fibers, locking in odors.
ACTIVE’s plant-based enzyme formula targets organic matter like oil, sweat and other odor causing elements. The result is truly clean activewear clothing. Click here to learn more.
ACTIVE Wear Detergent is free from any harsh chemicals and contains a natural organic formula.
It is:
Yes! ACTIVE Detergent is made specifically for those synthetic fabrics. ACTIVE Detergent is safe and effective on all technical and synthetic fibers like:
No, ACTIVE Detergent is unscented. The scents found in most traditional detergents just cover up odors instead of removing the sources like oil, sweat, etc.
After washing with ACTIVE you’ll actually be able to tell if your clothing is clean and not just masked by some temporary fragrance.
Yes, ACTIVE Detergent can be used in any kind of washing machine – top load, front load, and high efficiency (HE).
For most HE washers, you can put ACTIVE directly into the detergent dispenser tray. If for some reason the detergent doesn’t fully dissolve from the tray, try putting it directly into the washer drum before you add your clothes.

I was pretty skeptical about this stuff, but it actually works! Usually, my gym clothes would seem clean after the wash, but after I put them on, I could tell that they still smelled MUSTY within 10 minutes of sitting in class or into my workout. Regardless of the amount of detergent I poured into the wash, the smell came back. Drove me nuts. Within a week of using Active detergent that lingering “smell bomb” is gone!!!! I’M SO STOKED.

I have tried everything to get that “musty” smell out of my exercise clothes. I sweat…a LOT and work out 5-6 days a week at OTF, which those of you who do, understand how much you sweat during that one hour. tights and sports bras…gross. I’ve tried other exercise detergents, essential oil combinations, vinegar and baking soda…you name it. I still seem to have the lingering musty smell five minutes into a workout. So annoying. Then I decided to try ACTIVE and I was pleasantly stunned at how after ONE wash with even those clothes for a year I have been trying to get smell out of…NO MORE SMELL.
Ron Denmon
When this product arrived I was very excited to try it out. As a Personal Trainer and an active fitness enthusiast I have plenty of clothes that have started to smell a little funky after multiple sweat sessions in them…
This detergent works well to wash out the odor/dirt. It does not irritate skin and it smells great! Definitely recommend this detergent for active clothes as well as any other clothes. I’ve starting using it with my clothes as well and I love the smell and clean feeling of it!

Gave this a shot since it seemed like my gym clothes (mostly LuLuLemon and similar fabrics) never ended up smelling completely clean. Only washed with it once but it’s noticeably different.

Washing your workout clothes isn’t the same as cleaning your everyday clothing. The former has unique properties that make traditional detergent a less-than-ideal choice.
In fact, using regular laundry soap can do more harm than good to your favorite yoga pants or running shirt. For one thing, these detergents often leave behind residue, which traps sweat and oils and causes those persistent unpleasant smells.
Sport laundry detergent, on the other hand, is specifically formulated to deal with these types of clothes.
Activewear is made of performance fabrics, which play a pivotal role in activities such as running or yoga.
Take polyester and spandex, for example, they’re known for their durability. The latter also provides remarkable elasticity that allows it to retain its shape even after rigorous stretching, making them ideal for workout clothes.
Cleaning these synthetic fibers, however, can be challenging compared to natural ones such as cotton.
Unlike cotton, synthetic fibers don’t release dirt easily. This is largely due to their structure, which traps oil-based substances, including skin oils (sebum) or sweat, and that can lead to body odor.
It also affects the efficacy of traditional laundry detergents in that they’re unable to penetrate deeply into the tightly woven structures.
While traditional liquid laundry detergent works well for regular fabrics like cotton, they face challenges when it comes to activewear.
Synthetic fibers in athletic wear repel water while attracting oil-based substances like sweat.
As a result, conventional detergents are not fully rinsed out during the wash cycle. This leaves behind a layer of soap molecules, which traps dirt, skin cells, and sweat over time. The is especially true if you add fabric softener.
This buildup will not only lead to persistent smells but can also cause skin irritation. What’s worse, is that the problem exacerbates each time you do laundry using these regular soaps.
Regular laundry detergent can also cause the fabrics to degrade over time.
By exposing them to harsh cleaning agents that are present in standard detergent, the fibers will be weakened prematurely.
Faded colors, loss of elasticity, and reduced moisture-wicking capabilities are just a few examples of how traditional detergents can degrade sports clothes.
So while traditional detergents might seem good enough at first glance, they simply aren’t up to the task of keeping our activewear in the best condition long term.
Activewear laundry detergent such as the one by ACTIVE is a revolutionary product for cleaning performance fabrics.
Unlike its regular counterparts, it’s engineered to delve deep into synthetic fibers to effectively remove sweat and odor-causing agents that often escape regular detergents.
For one thing, it features enzymes that are capable of breaking down organic matter such as body oils and perspiration. This means it’ll have no problem eradicating stubborn stains from your smelly workout clothes.
One thing that sets ACTIVE Laundry Detergent apart from the rest is the fact that it contains plant-based enzymes.
These natural substances accelerate chemical reactions – specifically those required to break down complex molecules found in sweat and oil. That is, they’re able to break them down into smaller compounds that can easily be washed away with water.
Different kinds of dirt are targeted by different enzymes: protease for protein-related stains like blood or sweat, lipase for fat- or oil-related grime, and amylase for starch-connected muck.
ACTIVE laundry Detergent uses a combination of these specialized agents, which means it provides unmatched cleaning capability compared to its regular counterparts, when it comes to washing synthetic materials.
Not only is ACTIVE a powerful cleaner, but it’s also free of harsh chemicals that could irritate the skin and damage fabric integrity over time.
Our sports detergent’s unique formula allows it to work seamlessly with all washers, including high-efficiency models.
The granules dissolve completely during each wash cycle, ensuring optimal cleaning power while reducing residue.
ACTIVE Laundry Detergent will not leave behind any harmful residue on your clothes. This makes it a great choice for those with sensitive skin.
ACTIVE Laundry Detergent is specifically designed to clean manmade fibers, which are commonly used in athletic wear.
Here are some items that our activewear laundry detergent excels at cleaning.
The stretchy fabric in leggings and yoga pants often traps sweat, leaving them smelling less than fresh after a workout session.
The plant-based enzymes in ACTIVE detergent work efficiently at removing odors trapped within these technical fabrics.
Your workout clothes take quite a beating during intense workouts, and can accumulate tough stains from sweat and dirt.
Unlike traditional detergents, which often leave behind residue on performance fabrics, ACTIVE Laundry Detergent removes smells without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances.
Athletic apparel such as sports bras and compression gear need special care due to their snug fit against the skin, which means they absorb more sweat.
ACTIVE Detergent is the best choice for these types of garments as it’s capable of removing the embedded filth effectively while maintaining the integrity of the fabric fibers.
Fabric softeners found in regular detergents can ruin sportswear materials like those used for socks, underwear, or jock straps by reducing their ability to wick away moisture; this can lead to bad odors over time.
With ACTIVE Laundry Detergent, however, your clothes will retain their moisture-wicking properties.
You may not consider towels and bed sheets as part of your activewear, but think again!
They come into contact with body oils just like workout clothes do, which makes ACTIVE Detergent a good option as it will remove all oil residues that could lead to unpleasant smells over time.
When it comes to washing clothes, you want to make sure to choose the right detergent. Remember, it’s not just about getting clothes clean; it’s also about maintaining fabric integrity and extending the lifespan of your athletic apparel.
ACTIVE Laundry Detergent is known for eradicating sweat and oils that are embedded deep in synthetic fibers and can also be used as a stain remover on technical fabrics such as polyester or spandex.
Our activewear laundry detergent is also cost-effective at just over 30 cents per small HE (high-efficiency) load. This makes it a budget-friendly choice if you’re using high-efficiency washing machines frequently to wash your sports garments.
Its eco-friendly formula also uses biodegradable ingredients sans harmful chemicals or artificial fragrances.
If you are sensitive towards strong scents then ACTIVE is a great choice due to its neutral, scentless smell profile. It will leave your clothes smelling fresh after every wash cycle without covering up odors with strong fragrances.
Sports detergent is specially formulated to penetrate manmade fabrics, which means it’s highly effective at removing sweat and odor-causing oils – things that regular detergents struggle with.
Not only that but it can also be used to remove sweat stains.
Powdered sports detergents such as the one by ACTIVE tend to be more effective as they have a longer shelf life and work well with high-efficiency washing machines.
ACTIVE Laundry Detergent uses plant-based enzymes to target organic filth like sweat and bad odors, leaving your gym clothes fresh.
Yes, regular detergents can leave residue on synthetic fabrics. Activewear detergents, on the other hand, don’t have this issue, which makes them better for workout gear.
Activewear Laundry Detergent is formulated so that it will completely dissolve in all water temperatures.
Fabric softener is not recommended. It will leave behind a waxy layer on the fabric, which will hinder its ability to wick away moisture.
If you’re dealing with odors and grime in other places in your home like your appliances, ACTIVE has you covered.
We have concentrated cleaning products for specific appliances like your washing machine, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and more. See what we have to offer!

I was excited to try this product for my frequent workouts, but it fell short. It didn’t eliminate odors from my running gear at all. Returng it and wouldn’t recommend.

This stuff really works, but soaking is essential! My scrubs were in terrible shape, and I felt like I smelled awful halfway through the day. I tried everything…various deodorants, LUME, baking soda, and vinegar soaks…but nothing worked. Then I discovered this product. I used four scoops and soaked my scrubs for three hours. It was a game-changer! I still sweat, but now I don’t smell. I even bought a bag for each of my clinic staff. Many reviews highlight that the key is to soak long enough for the enzymes to do their job, so don’t skip that step! After soaking, just wash normally, and the odor won’t return.

We have this on auto-ship and love it, especially for post-run laundry as it effectively removes odors. Unfortunately, the last shipment wasn’t sealed properly, spilling some product inside the box. The box looked fine, but the heat seal failed upon opening. Fortunately, the sturdy ziploc is still workal, but perhaps the delivery was too harsh for the packaging.

I had a karate top plagued by persistent armpit odor. Despite washing it, the smell returned quickly. I attempted baking soda and vinegar soaks without success. Skeptical, I presoaked it in the washer with 2 scoops of Active Wear for 30 minutes before washing. To my surprise, the odor issue vanished after just one treatment. This product is incredible!

i started as a skeptic but needed a solution for my uniforms, which often smell like I just returned from the field after intense trining. Despite multiple washes, the odor lingers. I decided to try this product, which arrived in simple packaging resembling a ba g of almonds and had a small, pleasantly fragrant scoop. I gathered two moisture-wicking t-shirts two poly-cotton shirts and yoga pants, then filled my sink with hot water and added the scoop of Active for an experiment. I filled three glasses to monitor effectiveness: one right after dissolving, one after 30 minutes of soaking, and another after 90 minutes, during which I scrubbed the underarms. Encouraged, I washed two uniforms and am currently wearing one. After three hours, everything smells fresh. If odors return, I’ll soak them again. I’ll provide an update later!

My dog has serious odor issues due to a persistent skin fungus. I’m tossing out her $20 dog beds about once a month because the smell is so tough to tackle. I’ve tried major brands like Tide and Febreze, but they just mask the odor with fake scents. I don’t understand how people think Febreze works. I found a hunting spray called Scent Killer Gold that helps a bit, but my dog loves this one blanket, so I can’t throw it out. I took it to a laundromat and used industrial washers, extra detergent, bleach, and Lysol disinfectant, but the smell barely faded. I had to hide it during the day and only give it to her at night. Then I discovered a detergent for hunting clothes and decided to try it on the blanket. To my surprise, it worked absolutely NO SMELL, without any added perfume. It even tackled tough stains, comparable to popular detergents. This product, made from just salts and enzymes, outperforms Tide and Febreze by a mile. I’ve only used it on that blanket, but if it can handle that odor, it’s the real deal. If any company is out there, please consider a smaller trial size for $5 or $10. $30 feels steep when you’re unsure if it’s just another detergent. Now that I’ve tried it, I’d gladly pay, but smaller sizes would help more people experience it. You’ll attract more customers once they see the results!

Amazing product! If you train in Jiu Jitsu, you know how smelly a gi can get. This prevents having to replace them just bc of odor. I use it for every washrashguards, gis, spats, shorts, and my CrossFit clothes. I’ll keep buying it as long as it’s available. Plus, I love the handwritten note!

I discovered this product when my wife was frustrated with the persistent odor of my sweaty clothes, nearly insisting I get rid of them. To save my wardrobe, I decided to try it. I often end up drenched in sweat from sports and workouts, and those clothes are pretty foul! The detergent bag recommends 1-2 scoops based on dirtiness, so I started with 2 scoops. To my delight, the odor vanished! I’ve since used it three more times, switching to just 1 scoop to extend the bag’s life, and it still effectively eliminated the smell. This product is fantastic, lasting well due to the enzymes in just 1 scoop. It doesn’t leave a scent, which I prefer over artificial fragrances. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

I function out over five days a week, engaging in HIIT bootcamps and hot yoga, often resulting in quite a sweat. I noticed that my regular detergent, used on a delicate cycle with cold or warm water, wasn’t adequately cleaning my clothes. My sensitive nose led me to sniff my freshly washed thongs and sports bras, revealing they weren’t as clean as I’d hoped. While my leggings and tops seemed fine, the more sweat-prone items were not. The thought of wearing anything less than truly clean is off-putting.
I decided to try an enzyme-enhanced detergent, expecting it to break down sweat proteins without harsh chemicals. It functions somewhat, but with some caveats. I’ve found it effective only when used with warm or hot water, whether on its own or with unscented detergent. When I used it as directed in cold water on a delicate cycle, it often required two washes to tackle the odor. While it hasn’t damaged any delicate fabrics and is gentle, needing hot water for effectiveness contradicts my initial purpose. I haven’t tested it on pet accidents yet, but I plan to try it on towels when I foster kittens this summer. It seems I still have some experimenting to do.
