This post is 6 months overdue. I have a new laundry detergent I love. Boring, I know.
I’ve long been a Costco laundry detergent buyer—get the free and clear, spend minimal amounts of money, and go. But then HEX sent me a sampler pack of their new eco-friendly, stink-proof laundry detergent six full months ago, and I just finished up both flavors (scented & non) of liquid and pod soaps. I immediately popped over to their website hexperformance.com to order more pods, $9.99 for 24.
We all know I have a terrible sense of smell, so the scent or lack thereof certainly isn’t the selling point for me. No, Hex’s selling point is the feel of my laundry. It feels clean, soft, and seems like my sweatiest clothes (let’s face it, all my clothes) are aging less quickly than before.
They say:
HEX is the first system to actually break down the science of sweat and provide a new and unique way to clean: An innovative and powerful solution to the toughest of stink and odor causing bacteria that works on all fabrics and gear while remaining green, eco-friendly, skin-friendly AND biodegradable.
Instead of relying on old methods to clean new fabrics, HEX started from scratch to develop the best clean inspired by today’s active wear. The result is an evolved science that works on all fabrics, delivers a better cleaning experience, proactively protects fabrics against future stink and stains, and offers a host of extra benefits. It could be the biggest breakthrough in laundry cleaning in decades.
Created by Drew Westervelt, a former pro-athlete, after noticing that his apparel and tech gear would still stink, even after they had been washed. He discovered that odor meant bacteria was alive and well in his laundry and after researching traditional laundry detergents, he discovered that they simply weren’t formulated to clean the 70% of today’s laundry that was made of synthetic fabrics. When he couldn’t find a solution, he teamed up with chemists to create an entire new way to clean, HEX.
