HEX Performance Laundry Detergent, Unscented, 100 Loads (50ld Pack of 2) – Concentrated Activewear Detergent for Odor Removal, Sweat & Residue, Fragrance-Free, HE Compatible, Biodegradable Formula

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.

Bought this after reading reviews about its effectiveness on activewear, particularly stubborn polyester odors. This is the only detergent I have used that works to remove the sweat odor from older workout wear. The Unscented works well and leaves a pure clean smell on the clothes, but the scented options are nicely concentrated and not overpowering as well.

I'm still struggling to believe that there is a product on the market that actually does what it says, and more. But, every time I think this detergent has met it's match, it comes out on top. Un-friggin-believable!!! I'm a yoga teacher, and a personal trainer. I teach a lot of hot yoga, and live in Florida...a lot of sweat happens. I was tired of having to buy new activewear so incredibly frequently, so I took a chance on Hex and gave it a shot. So not sorry!! After a class, my clothes are so wet that you can wring the sweaty grossness out with the gentlest squeeze. I sometimes change outfits 5 times during a day. Since I'm working for 8 to 10hrs every day, the clothes sit in that grossness for hours before I even have the opportunity to get them into the laundry. Naturally, they get smelly, and I thought that was just the way things had to be because NO OTHER detergent, booster, or additive took care of the lingering smell, post wash and dry. I could maybe use a new shirt for a month before it became unbearable, and unwearable. No more!! Not only does this completely clean and refresh my workout gear same-day.....but, I tested it out on old workout gear that I thought was just permanently stinky and dead to me.....and, it completely took out all of the "whatever" that would cause it to stink the moment it was exposed to body heat. I have reclaimed literally thousands of dollar worth of workout gear that I love dearly. My new go-to detergent is Hex, for as long as the company exists, I will only use Hex for all of my tech fabrics and activewear - because it actually works. Like a dream. Seriously. I use Hex detergent and then any Citric acid based rinse (Downy Rinse & Refresh - which works great, although you can just make your own with citric acid powder.....so much better than vinegar with no pickly after-stink) Thank you Hex for saving my clothing!!

Yes, it gets athletic fabrics clean. The bottle design is dreadful - difficult to pour because the bottle is flimsy. The cap, which is supposed to be used to measure the detergent, cracked on the first use. The "citrus" scent is dreadful. But the clothes come out clean, and the terrible smell, which isn't even remotely citrusy, doesn't remain in the clean clothes.

I was recommended this detergent to remove odors. I think it did an ok job on really tough odors (soaking in high concentration vinegar was much more effective) but my synthetics are literally squeaky clean and they are static free, which I've not experienced. So I'd say this is an excellent product at a premium price. I can get twice the number of loads at 1/3 price with Costco Free & Clear but Hex is like treating myself to a little luxury here and there!

Most laundry detergents I have used smell good & the scent is noticeable out of the dryer, but ultimately fades. HEX provides long lasting scent that still lingers days later. Very pleased with the product & will continue to purchase.

Effective product, horrendous packaging. I first bought this in a more standard liquid laundry detergent bottle with a measuring lid that would drain back into the bottle. The new packaging consists of a hex shaped lid used for measuring out detergent. The opening in the bottle is small and the detergent climgs to the side of the bottle and lid, leaving detergent to dry in the lid after it's screwed back onto the bottle. I have to wash my hands every time I use it because of dripping. The detergent works very well to remove stains and odors, although the scent is strong and not my favorite. I will consider buying another product next time because I hate the packaging so much!

This is by far the best detergent for sweat and athletic gear. Happy they are packaging it in larger bottles now. My only quibble is the new hexagon shaped cap is silly, non functional, and wastes plastic.

While I do like the cleaning aspect of the Hex laundry product I find the cost of the product to be excessive. I find that one Hex pod is suitable for small loads but “my normal” load while not large, does require 2 pods for proper cleaning. I live in Canada and the cost of Hex (from Amazon) works out to be $1.65 Cdn per pod or $3.30 Cdn per load. So while I like the quality of the product I find the price excessive and will be switching to a different product in the future.

Doesn't work. This is just a soppy stuff. Doesn't work as expected. Not recommended. Doesn't remove odours or smell as advertised. Tried washing twice and there was no change in smell. Not even a bit. False advertising and useless product. Never expected such a useless product for this high price.

Cleans well and clothes have a fresh scent
