Just try it
It doesn't hurt to try a sample - just carefully read instructions so you get the most out of it!

My nose appreciates this
I had some well used athletic clothes that were ripe. I tried some home remedies that included vinegar and soaking to some success, but still not all the way odor free. I threw those clothes thru a cycle with this sample pack and I am happy to report that they smell like nothing! I am happy to not be "that guy" now while wearing some staple base layers from my closet. The free sample got me hooked, I'll throw down for a bigger supply.

A must for technical clothing.
I’ve been using Nikwax for almost 15 years. Nothing else beats it for completely cleaning my expensive technical and merino wool clothing.

Great stuff, Huge fan of Nikwax
Another great product. Helps take any odor out of my active wear and replace it with a nice but not overwhelming smell that lasts. I will continue to buy Nikwax.

I have a few pieces I've used this on already and its great at getting the "I've been camping without showering around a campfire and climbing in this" smell a lot better than I had assumed it would

This stuff is like magic!
It works really well! I sometimes use white vinegar when I don't have any Nikawax left. The vinegar works well but this works really well. It's worth it to get the smells out of the clothes I train in a lot.

Product is great
The detergent has done exactly what it advertised. Any activewear that I’ve had to clean the detergent has eliminated any odors the clothing had. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This thing actually works!
My wife and I have noticed that all dry moisture-wicking materials tend to have a synthetic smell. This smell becomes more pronounced after use and doesn’t wash out with regular detergent. At first, I thought it was a gimmick and assumed they were infused with perfume to mask odors, but that turned out to be false. I’m not sure how they achieve it, but it works!

Great product
My clothes didn’t smell sweaty after using these. I hate the workout funk smell.

I love Nikwax products and this is no exception. It worked great. It made my workout clothes smell refreshed, no lingering smells.
