20 Best Detergent For Work Clothes (2023 Updated)

A powder that is finer than other powdered detergents than I have used. Comes with a scoop inside. Excellent value price per load. Cleaned my activewear that had been sitting for weeks in my hamper leaving them clean and without odors.

Very happy with trying this product and will continue to use for all my activewear.

After first use, extremely pleased with the product. I decided to wash a Rogue workout shirt (along with others in the load) I’ve worn once a week for the last 2 years and the “sweaty/old workout shirt” smell was gone immediately.

Can’t recommend this product enough for this use. Also worked just as good as any other “best-selling” brand for general washes/loads. Will definitely purchase again! Only slight issue was when it arrived, the packaging bag was blown up, or ballooned, possibly from the heat of shipping, but once we punctured the bag with a safety pin the air released.

I love this detergent!!! My husband is overweight and he is outdoors and walks a lot for his job and therefore he sweats A LOT!!! He has a separate hamper so that the stink of his clothing does not get on mine!!! I was relieved to try a product that actually works to REMOVE the odor rather than masking it in perfumes and artificial chemicals.

I followed the directions and measured carefully to ensure the full use of the product correctly. I was skeptical but now I am a believer. When I took the clothes out of the washer I no longer smelled all the sweat and grime that I know went into the washer with the clothes.

The shirts smelled fresh and there were no sweat stains left behind. I would recommend this if you have a hard worker in the house in a strong profession like construction because it does work. I would buy this again!.

OUT ProWash Workwear Odor Eliminator Detergent not only worked extremely well on my husbands stubborn work clothes but also on our blankets we use in our home! I was very surprised that all of the blankets, that our cats urinate on or throw up on, came out perfectly clean! No stains or smells! This was such a huge blessing for us with 7 cats in our home! And bonus, my husbands socks, pants and shirts are so sweaty and stinky that they end up stiff (I swear they could walk away by themselves)! But, the OUT ProWash Workwear Odor Eliminator Detergent worked like magic! My mind is blown at the results I have seen since using this detergent on our nastiest laundry! I use about half of this detergent compared to ordinary stuff and everything always comes out looking and smelling great!.

I really like this OUT ProWash Workwear Odor Eliminator Detergent. I buy and sell used clothes, and they can be old and stinky! The workwear pants and jackets can be especially dirty and smelly. I started using this detergent when washing the clothes and have definitely noticed a difference! The laundry does not have the residual stale smell in the clothes anymore.

I’ve also used it when washing my pets bedding and it works great! No more need for extra rinses in my washing machine, and no more additional wash loads because the clothes comes out clean and smelling good the first time.

I wish I would have used this sooner! I will definitely be buying more in the future.

I found H E X & never looked back – to handle yuck, dirt, and grime inbedded in clothing- all types! We have chemistry and varying levels of hormones etc. on in sweat and transfer to clothing. Dep on the sweat origination those funks can be difficult to conquer in mass concentrations.

(I started out using it for everyday regulars up to game articles!) ➡️great shutdown of sweaty chemicals- all levels- from both genders! Like I said I have been buying since 2017 and never bought anything else.

Can be diff to find in stores, No Target I have ever been to carry’s it- many diff states. Works great with dist water for fine lingerie hand washing. Lasts. Not a cover up last, but a no funk no nothing is there but the org actual cloth, so no c r e e p up smells on pieces you haven’t worn inna while.

Pet friendly. Derma Allergic friendly with Exema to psoriasis to auto immune triggered derm stuff. I have turned everyone I know out to this bc this is love. And everyone knows how much p r i d e I take in laundries.

I love doing laundry. Buy it now or later, but when you do- be prepared to never need or long for anything else! One stop shop! Thank you H E X for obviously doing some Mister Wizard chemistry before just throwing another SLS or more junkgunk product on the shelf to deeply embedd in our clothes, now all the years of filling the clothes with that junk PLUS SWEAT H E X IS GETTING ALL OF THAT OUT!.

This detergent is not just for workout clothes. I think of it more as for working clothes. Some of my family’s clothes work harder than others. For example, my college age son sweats a lot and tends to wear plain white cotton tshirts and graphic tees, those tshirts are hard workers.

They absorb that smelly body odor, especially under the arms… whew! I would wash and dry with top leading detergents, but when I smelled the armpits afterwards, they still had an odor and even stains.

I got a sample of HEX in the mail one day and tried it. Seemed to work but could have been fluke. I ordered and it and started noticing that his tshirts seemed not to smell in the pits anymore. He had ordered new shirts so maybe that was why.

I ordered more HEX when I ran out. The shirts have been worn more, even the older ones were coming clean! I am almost convinced that HEX is doing the work! I started using on his bed sheets and now they are actually clean after washing.

HEX is saving me money in the long run because the clothing and linens were having to be discarded and purchased frequently due to odor and stains. I have had to wash some items more than once to get rid of old buildup it seems and have had to use more than one or two HEX pods on each load, plus have used the HEX stain remover, but I’m hoping that is temporary.

I am on my 4th order of HEX and now all of our clothes should have any buildup issues gone. This will be an ongoing trial for now, just because I have to convince myself that it is worth ordering HEX online and through the mail.

As of right now, HEX is looking like a winner.

I’ve been using method cleaning products for almost 20 years now. Some of them are more effective than others. These days the only one I always seem to have on hand is their coconut + cactus water concentrated laundry detergent.

I live alone and generate only like 2 loads of laundry each week: my clothes and towels/sheets. For many years I stuck with the “free and clear” version of detergents but for some reason I bought method’s Coconut and Cactus Water laundry detergent a few years ago and I’ve stuck with it.

I like that it is environmentally-friendly and concentrated so a little goes a long way. It hasn’t caused any allergy/itching issues. The fragrance is light and lingers on my clothes which I like. The price is reasonable too especially when it is so concentrated that you only have to use a small amount for each load.

I will continue to buy this detergent again in the future.

This review is for the Mango and Ginger one. I think overall it has a great smell, a little goes a long way. It does leaves clothes clean but most of our clothes dont get stains or dirt, just normal wear from working from home.

It will fade dark colors. It also leaves like a odd residue on your clothes. I tried adding less, I tried adding more to see if there was a difference, but clothes dont feel soft like using tide or gain products.

If you have sensitive skin, this detergent may not be for you. If you have eczema it may cause a flare up. Our sweaters became itchy after using this detergent as compared to using Tide Zero.

I absolutely want to love this product. I use it on a regular basis and I think it smells so nice! But I feel like whenever I use it, I get contact dermatitis and my eczema flares up. I’m not 100% sure that this is what’s causing it, but timing wise it seems to line up.

Being that this is a hypoallergenic detergent, I was hoping this would be gentle for me, but my skin seems to react every time. I wish I didn’t have to discontinue use. It cleans so well!! Has anybody else experienced allergic reactions from this? I feel like all I read are raving reviews on it.

I did read that the preservative methylisothiazolinone and fragrance may be what is the cause for dermatitis, but I wish it didn’t happen to me. I think it’s a great detergent, otherwise!.

+IMHO you cannot buy a better product. I’ve been using Sport Wash for over 10 years. I’ve tried detergent from most/all of the “hunting products companies” and found nothing that surpasses Sport Wash, here’s why.

This is by far the most economical wash on market; 1 capfull (one oz) does a full load of my camo & layers. It leaves absolutely, positively no scent or odor on the clothes. I must also add that it cleans well ! Most household laundry products have UV brighteners to brighten our clothes.

Imagine the pictures we’ve all seen of flowers as bees see them. Bees see on lower (UV) end of the color spectrum which makes the UV jump out in their sight. UV brighteners do the same thing to the colors (even camo), resulting in neon camo.

Sport Wash has no UV brighteners so there is no UV glow. Just to recap; 1) cheap to use 2) TOTALLY scent free 3) No UV glow. I definitely recommend Sport Wash!.

I have several pairs of gym and yoga shorts that are made of polypropylene and after one month of wear they developed a horrible odor that would become worse with heat and sweat. My normal detergent temporarily removed the funky odor but this ATSKO detergent worked much better and actually removed the odor permanently.

I recommend soaking your sports gear with a capful of ATSKO detergent and warm water immediately after sweating in them. After soaking overnight, put everything in the washer. For maximum effectiveness never use standard detergent on your sports gear after you clean it with ATSKO.

This stuff works great. The detergent has a slight natural odor, but it isn’t offensive.

I have been cloth diapering for 9 months. The diapers were starting to get stinky and leaky. I researched cloth diaper safe laundry detergent for hard water because we have hard water here where we live.

I found Sport-Wash was recommended by several people and by cloth diaper companies, so I tried it. I has been wonderful! The diapers no longer stink and they appear to be more absorbent than they were before! Plus the waterproof diaper covers seem to be holding up much better, which means no more leaks! I love that I can just go to my local Walmart to buy this rather than having to order a more expensive cloth diaper detergent online.

My typical wash routine is like this – Cold prewash with a capful of detergent Hot wash Extra rinse Dry low It might take several washes for your diapers to stop stinking and leaking because this detergent works to strip the diapers of build up from other detergents.

However with continued use you should see an improvement in your diapers.

I tried this product in order to try & get my shop rags cleaned & degreased without getting my wife’s washer all dirty. The product said that it would do all that & not make a mess in the washer, they lied.

The rags got marginally cleaned & there was a large ring of grease at the top of the washer. I tried to wash them again but nothing changed except the grease ring got larger. I emptied the washer, degreased the washer & tried it for the 3rd time but the rags didn’t get any cleaner & there was a ring of grease at the top again.

I won’t be using this product again.

You know when you wash your work clothes and it still looks not dirty but not completely clean? Dingy look! This gets you past dingy look into Yeah! That’s clean.

I started using it alone on work cloths, works fantastic, gets out the oil smell. I recently started added sent boosters and vinegar in the rinse cycle (works better than fabric softener) Work cloths seem to last longer and smell great.

Woolite keeps changing their packaging, but I’m not sure if the ingredients are changing. It’s now “damage defense”. It performs the same, so I’m fine with it. Anyway, I’ve gone to washing just about everything in Woolite.

I feel it protects my clothes, towels, etc. that I pay a lot of money for and it works the best out of other detergents in cold water. It’s also very gentle and I have very, very sensitive and reactive skin, so I have to use either baby detergent or my go- to now- Tide free and clear.

Woolite never bothers my skin and doesn’t have a fragrance, so it’s really become my everyday detergent and I use Tide for stains or heavy duty loads. Even if you only use for silks and delicates, everyone needs a bottle of Woolite.

I liked that it properly aids water to clean my delicate clothing. Please consider how I mentioned “delicate” such as wool or midly dirty clothing. It provides a good clean when you add the double of recommended amount to a load, two of those cups.

It fails to provide an ultra strong cleaning effect on stains however, and that is just the truth. I will continue buying because I own some wool garments. Advice from me to you for lengthening and maintaining the time your clothes looks good would be: be carefull with your dryer, the dryer is the number one murderer of fabrics, all types.

That is more damaging than any detergent on the market.

This is my go-to detergent for all laundry, and especially wool base layers and socks. For wool, I always hang dry. But one warning, don’t stack these bottles on top of each other, at least not in the upright position.

The bottom of the bottle can crack from the pressure of the cap of the bottle beneath it. Can’t remember if I had them stacked 2 high or 3 high. Luckily I caught the leak before it caused too much of a mess, but I did lose about 1/2 a bottle.

I’m bad when it comes to laundry as I shove as much laundry as I can into one load and fill it to the max. I only used one of these for a full load even though it suggested two and for me it did just fine with one.

I have teens, animals and a husband that works in the garage constantly getting everything dirty he touches and whatever he is working on just lingers on his clothes. So I like how quick and easy these are with no guessing work or mess involved.

The smells well that is never ending so I like how they incorporated a scent to get rid of the smells but one you can still smell when they come out of the wash to dryer. Clothes smell fresh but without being overpowering as we want fresh clothes but not necessarily the scent to overtake it.

I think it did fantastic at getting rid of the odor and garage smell that my husband brings in. As for the animals well I have two ferrets and I wash their blankets weekly and again it did the job. My ferrets get excited when I give them their new fresh blankets making it approved by everyone in my family.

Fantastic stuff that got the job done!!.

My partner works outdoors and my son is super into arts and crafts and playing outside so we can get some super messy and stinky clothes so I need detergent that is going to get everting smelling clean and getting everything off their clothes and these did a fantastic job at both.

I honestly was surprised on how big these pods were to me they are a lot bigger than the standard cleaning pods and as soon you open the packaging you can instantly smell the pods which was pleasantly sweet and clean smelling but not overwhelming smelling.

With the size I was not surprised how much suds this created when washing and it made my laundry room fill with scent while cleaning and I found even with my larger loads one pod definitely felt sufficient.

After washing and drying my clothes the clothes definitely smelled really good but don’t so strong where you walked by your could smell it more if you directly smelled the clothes so they were fresh without being overwhelmed with scent.

I was a bit concerned with the amount of suds that it would build up on my clothes and make them feel stiff or weird after washing but it cleared up well in the rinse cycle and my clothes felts nice and soft after drying.

Overall definitely happy with these and would highly recommend.

I have used Gain for my family for years. I have always felt comfortable using this product knowing that they produce it with quality materials. The variety of scents have always been appealing. However, this new one takes the cake.

It not only helps more than normal with the odor defense the scent it has last for a longer time frame then it normally does. The easy to throw in flings are perfect sizes where no messy measuring is necessary.

The container that this product is place in is perfect for families with small children. It is not an easy product to open but that is one of the highlights of this product/container. It is safe to be around kids and pets without the fear of it being opened easily.

The Fresh scent is one remarkable smell. It leaves your cloths smelling fresh and makes you feel the clothes are thoroughly cleaned.

I bought this in the store yesterday after looking at all the choices. I like the minimal packaging, and the price per ounce was about the cheapest there. Later at home I read the instructions and pulled out my calculator.

According to their instructions, this bag only gives you 22 loads. I’m taking the bag back for a refund. There are plenty of options on the shelf for way less money.

Can be used in he washers without any problems. 1/2 top loader and 1/4 cup in front loader. I have a 4. 5 front loader and washed dirty sheets! 1/4 cup Roma, 1/8cup Oxy Clean and 1/8 cup Downy in dispenser with a tiny water chase.

Hot water and 2 rinses sheets came out spotless. Lots of cat parking on bed, so dirty. Opened door on pause at 10 minutes in it was soapy. Wash water came out like gymnasium floor color. Wow Roma. MODERATION IN HE MACHINES! I had absolutely no bubbles even on wash spin cycle.

The product itself I give 4 stars. Walmart replaced my order with 8 small bags that total 141. 04oz, the original was 176. 36oz. All for the Same Price. That is wrong! It should have at least been 10 small bags! That would have been a total of 176.

30oz’s! Walmart delevery is who I’m giving the 1 star review on!.

The detergent is fine. However, the scent is not strong enough; can’t be detected once the laundry is out.

Expensive, but the scent is just beautiful and subtle. The only one I can get away with that the husband does not complain about! To be honest, I have never been that big on scented laundry before myself, but again, this is lovely.

Clothing smells the same after laundering as when it went in. I have no idea where these high reviews come from. Overpriced. I’ve tried three loads and had to rewatch them all with laundress instead.

IšverstiShow in original languageIt is safe to use within my emotional support cat. And it work just normal as any pods does. And I am very fond of wool and silk so it is very gentle. And I love fact that this dropps offers different two sizes, regular pods and mini pods.

(Regular pods is smaller than average pods of other; thank to that, I can carry 3x of pods in go! So much lighter!) mini pods is unbelievable tiny, hehe. Good for hand wash or small loads. I usually hand wash 7 clothes and I love wear them all time.

I did buy in unscented, rose, lavender, and mini one. I usually use unscented where my cat usually walk or sleeping. And I love rose and lavender equals so I use them on towel, clothes, other that my cat not interest in it.

I like sensitive one as it are safer choice than normal one (I only use that one if it have stronger dirty) I love it!.

My old running gear was embarrassingly stinky. I bought this a few years ago and it kept the funk away longer than normal with my old gear. Using it from the get-go with new gear and the only thing stinky is me.

I combine it with scented Hex fabric protector for an added pleasant sent.

I really love this laundry detergent. The powder works really well and is environmentally friendly. I’ve since switched to using all their products including, stain remover, kitchen cleaner, and room spray.

It’s totally worth it.

The description says a case of 6 but I only received one 40oz box, not a case of 6 40oz boxes. False description. The Defunkify product is Wonderful for getting the stink out of sporty clothes. Just buy it somewhere else.

I love it. Gets my clothes very clean but they are not all faded out. The scent is very soft and fresh NOT overwhelming. In the last year or two most laundry detergent manufacturers have really increased the perfume and dyes to the formulas.

The last bottle of detergent that I tried I had to throw it away because the perfume scent was so overwhelming and heavy. I have asthma and allergies and it definitely affected me to the point where my eyes , nose and throat burned and it was so strong it was like I could taste it in my mouth and could not get the smell out of my nose and even with air purifiers going on high I had to leave until it cleared up and then had to rewash and dry everything that I had washed.

Woolite is amazing with just the right amount of scent in it and I can even wash in cold water and everything is clean and fresh. I also love that my clothing will last longer and stay looking new longer.

Great detergent for you delicate clothes and linens. I would use for all of my laundry needs, but it is pricey compared to. I love the scent, and it doesn’t make my clothes stink or smell like super strong laundry detergent/softener.

Just because your clothes smell like spring rain doesn’t mean they’re clean! This gently cleans my favorite garments and quilts. The handle and cap are easy to use also. Will continue using.
