LET’S CLEAR
THINGS UP.

Clean isn’t a smell. We keep cleaning and scent as separate choices: Performance cleans in the wash without added fragrance. If you want scent, add Dryer Drops after the wash, following the label directions. Your clean. Your call.

Workout gear can hold on to sweat and body oils between washes, especially in synthetic fabrics. Warmth and moisture during your next workout can make that lingering odor noticeable again.

Performance uses enzymes to help break down that buildup. A fresh fragrance alone doesn’t tell you whether your gear is clean.

Performance is a complete detergent. Use it on its own for your regular wash, following the bag directions and your garment care label. You don’t need to add another detergent.

No. Start with the detergent. Performance handles your everyday wash. Revive is an optional pre-wash restore soak for stubborn buildup. Dryer Drops are an optional scent finish for clean laundry.

Five listed ingredients: sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, cellulose gum (CMC), and a six-enzyme blend.

The blend includes protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase, mannanase, and pectinase. There’s no added fragrance, dye, fabric softener, or optical brightener.

No. Sodium bicarbonate—baking soda—is one of five listed ingredients. The formula also includes sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, cellulose gum, and a six-enzyme blend that helps break down laundry soils.

A powder lets us deliver a concentrated formula without shipping water as part of the detergent. Measure the recommended scoop, follow the bag directions, and let your washing machine supply the water.

We don’t make an antibacterial or disinfectant claim. Performance is a detergent designed to remove laundry soils, including sweat and body-oil buildup. Cleaning and disinfecting are different jobs.

Yes. It’s built with sweaty athletic fabrics in mind and also cleans washable cotton and everyday clothing. Always follow the garment care label, especially for delicate fabrics or items requiring a special detergent.

Sweat, body oils, and antiperspirant residue can build up in the underarm area. Performance’s enzymes can help with the organic soils in that mix, but old stains can take extra attention and results vary.

For washable gear with stubborn buildup, consider a Revive restore soak when the fabric care instructions allow it.

Use it for machine-washable uniforms, base layers, socks, and other items whose care labels allow it. For protective equipment, pads, helmets, or other hard gear, follow the equipment manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Airing gear out between sessions also helps.

Use one scoop for a regular load, following the directions on your bag. More detergent isn’t automatically a better clean: using too much can make rinsing harder. Follow any label guidance for load size or soil level.

Yes. Performance works in standard and high-efficiency machines and can be used for cold-water washing. Use the recommended dose and follow both the bag directions and your garment care label.

Not necessarily. Revive gives stubborn buildup a longer pre-wash soak. After the reset, use Performance for your normal wash routine. Results depend on the fabric and buildup; always check that the item can be soaked.

Dissolve the amount directed on your bag in warm water in a suitable bucket, sink, or tub. Submerge the washable gear, soak for the time stated on the package, then finish with a normal wash.

Check both the Revive label and your garment care instructions for dosing, soak time, and fabric suitability. See Revive details.

Soak water may contain released soil, product residue, fabric finishes, or dye from the garment. The color alone doesn’t measure how dirty the item was or prove what came out. Check colorfastness and follow the care label before soaking.

For moisture-wicking gear, we recommend skipping added softener and conventional dryer sheets when the garment label advises against them. Their coatings can affect how technical fabric performs. If you want scent, Dryer Drops are a separate, optional finishing step.

Dryer Drops are essential oils for a scented finish after washing. Apply the amount on the label to wool dryer balls and use according to the product and dryer instructions. They aren’t a detergent or a replacement for washing.

Prefer no scent? Skip the Drops. Your detergent already did the cleaning. Explore the scents.
