[ The Details ]

The original restore soak. Revive clothes back to life.

Some gear is too far gone for a normal wash cycle. Years of sweat, body oils, and synthetic fragrance buildup don't rinse out in 40 minutes. They need time.

AF Revive is a soak, not a wash. Fill a bucket or sink, add a scoop, submerge the gear, and let it work for a few hours or overnight. Revive is our enzyme detergent, enhanced. Same cleaning base as our wash-day formulas, plus extra enzymes and borax for the muscle a rescue job needs. No machine needed.

WHAT IT DOES

  • Restores clothes that smell bad even after washing
  • Breaks down embedded sweat, body oils, and fragrance buildup
  • Works in a bucket or sink. No washing machine required.
  • Unscented. No fragrance of any kind.
  • 60 soak cycles per bag. Septic safe.

WHAT'S IN IT

Our enzyme detergent base, extra enzymes for the long contact time, and borax (sodium tetraborate) to supercharge the soak. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral, but we name it anyway, because some people need to avoid it. It does its job in the bucket, then rinses away in the wash that follows. It doesn't stay in your clothes. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves when handling soak water and always finish with a normal wash.

HOW TO USE

Dissolve one scoop in warm water. Submerge gear fully. Soak 2 hours minimum, overnight for the worst cases. Wring out and run a normal wash with AF Performance.

FAQ

My workout clothes smell even after washing. Will this fix it?
That's exactly what Revive is for. Odor that survives a wash cycle is embedded in the fibers. A long enzyme soak gives the formula the contact time a machine cycle can't.

Is this a detergent or a treatment?
A treatment. Use Revive to reset gear that's gone funky, then maintain it with AF Performance in your regular wash.

What's different from your detergents?
Two things: extra enzymes and borax. The detergents are five plant-derived ingredients. Revive adds more muscle because rescue jobs need it. Everything rinses out in the wash that follows the soak.

Does it have a scent?
No. Revive is unscented, like everything we make for the wash. Want scent? Add it in the dryer with Dryer Drops, on clean fabric.

Can I soak delicates and technical fabric?
Yes. No bleach, no dyes, no optical brighteners. Safe for anything you'd machine wash cold. Just follow the soak with a normal wash so everything rinses out.

How it works
[ Inside The Bag ]

What you're
actually soaking with.

Athlete Fresh detergent
  1. 01 Enzyme detergent baseThe same six-enzyme system as our detergents. Protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase, mannanase, and pectinase break down sweat, body oil, and residue.
  2. 02 Extra enzymes, extra timeA soak gives the enzymes hours of contact instead of a 40-minute cycle. That's what reaches years of buildup.
  3. 03 Borax, named on purposeA naturally occurring mineral that adds the muscle a rescue job needs. It works in the bucket and rinses out in the follow-up wash. Some people avoid it, so we name it.
  4. 04 UnscentedNo fragrance of any kind. Add scent in the dryer with Dryer Drops if you want it, on clean fabric.
