Customer Reviews of WIN High Performance Sport Liquid Detergent, Super Oxygenated Formula, 21-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 8)
Customer Review: over priced
Summary: 2 Stars
found that the same results and even better in the Consumer Reports July 2010 report for something less expensive and can be purchased in a big box store. Unfortunately, I spent the money on this product before I read the report!!!Customer Review: Smells lovely but simply doesn't work as advertised....
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been using Penguin's brand of Sports Wash for the past 12 months and love it. Unfortunately, my local grocery store for some reason stopped selling it and decided to carry this brand. I was 'sold' on the product when I saw the Olympic logo on it and the word 'oxygenating'. I figured if Olympic athletes use it and is 'oxygenates' then it should be GREAT for us, right? Well $7.99 later (for 1 bottle purchased locally) I still have some musty smelling towels and some not so fresh smelling clothes.
I found out that there are two different types of 'odor removing detergents' on the marketplace. One type has a nice fragrance to it and the others are unscented or wtih BARELY any scent. I found the latter ones work to TRULY remove any offending odors while the formers ones remove MOST of the offending odors then mask the rest of the stench with their lovely fragrance. I'm telling you, no matter how lovely your fragrance smells, the musty towels are STILL musty if all of the stinky stench is not washed out of it!
To back up a little, my husband is an avid biker. Regardless of how quick his workout clothes get washed, over time, they start to smell - even when they are clean. I discovered Penguin's sports wash at my local grocer and decided to give it a try. I was BLOWN AWAY!! There were several items of his that I had planned to simply toss if I couldn't get the smell out...I tried OxyClean, 20Mule Borax, White Vinegar, eco friendly oxygenating powders, Febreeze Odor remover detergent (a HUGE waste of money by the way!), baking soda...hot water, cold water...even though after washing them they obviously smelled a lot better, you could still smell the faint odor of musty sweat (I know...gross). Well ONE wash with this Penguin's detergent and I swear, EVERY BIT of any offensive odor was GONE! So I started to use it as a staple if my little one had a nighttime accident in bed and happen to conviently toss his 'wet pajamas' in the laundry room in an area where I didn't look for a few days - (now that stench can make anyone cry), musty towels from being accidently left in the washing machine over a weekend, wet clothes from playing in the rain, car grease smell from my husband working on his car, stinky clothes from when the kids get 'sick', etc, etc, etc. It has NEVER failed me. I THINK there may have been 1 or 2 incidents where my husband took off his work out shirt and tossed it in the garage then proceeded to wash his car or something...I did have to wash those items 2x but still, it worked like a charm...100% of the smell was gone.
But this Win detergent, removed most of the odors and masked the remaining stench. The remainder of the stink was so faint that I didn't realize it until I pulled things out of the dryer. If I'm going to have MOST of the odor removed and then mask the rest of the stinkiness, I might as well use regular scented detergent!
I do not recommend this product. While it comes close, it doesn't come close enough in my opinion to justify the cost in addition to regular detergent. Not to mention that it's not eco-friendly.
Customer Review: Do you care?

Does any one realize you are using this on running/biking clothes? Who cares how you smell when you are running? Don't the clothes get sweaty 10 minutes into the activity anyway? What am I missing?
