DEFUNKIFY NEW! Liquid Laundry Detergent, Free & Clear - Crushes Odor - EPA Safer Choice - 87% BioBased - 124 Loads (2-Pack of 62 Load Bottles) (Free & Clear)

Daverat's Wife Speaking: We began using this when our house was sold and we moved into a Condo, having to share a laundry room with people who toss smelly workout clothes into the washers without a thought for the people who use the washer next. We'd put our clothes in dirty but not bad-smelling and they'd come out dirtier and smelly! I tried using washing machine cleaners before doing my laundry, but nothing worked. A nurse friend recommended this brand, and I will never go back to Tide! It does the job! No more stinky clothes from other people's armpits or ball sweat! The clothes come out CLEAN and with NO ODOR. I use the liquid, which is very concentrated. I do have sensitive skin and Defunkify has never irritated my skin in any way. I used to add scent beads to try and cover up the odors of biological deposits left on my clothes from using a communal washing machine but now, it is no longer necessary. I do still pay to run a load with a washing machine cleaner a couple times a month because we have people that use far too much detergent, scent beads and other crap and it builds up, but in general, if it is a single home washer, Defunkify is all you will ever need. I have washed my own workout clothing or very sweaty clothing and this stuff really is good at breaking down what is called Biofilm, the dead skin, and body secretions that are particularly stinky. Also, being a married couple, this is very good for bedding, if you catch my meaning. I would suggest that if you NEED a scent on your clothing, use a scented dryer sheet instead of s scented laundry detergent and use Defunkify on all your loads. Some of my neighbors who frequently wash their clothes right after I do, have told me that even THEIR clothes smell better now, so Defunkify is doing exactly what it claims to do: get rid of Biofilms and dirt that would normally redeposit on your laundry AND preventing the buildup of Biofilm in the machine itself. The clothes have NO smell at all and stay fresh for months in my closet if stored properly next to other clean clothing. If you stick some musty item next to your clen clothes, those clothes will smell musty too. Therefore, you may want to do what I did, and slowly cycle all your clothing thru a wash with Defunkify! I cannot recommend this more highly! Defunkify has also turned out to be a great value for the price. It is easy to measure and load for load, far cheaper than Tide Pods or other detergent Pods. I do use dryer sheets of a different brand with no scent for softening and static control. Defunkify replaces detergent Pod, scent beads, liquid fabric softener and Lysol Laundry Sanitizer, all expensive products. You need to factor that into the value of this excellent detergent!

Excellent cleaning and eliminates all scents

They significantly changed their formula, old version is the one with the smaller blue rectangle. I’m allergic to SLS, and this didn’t contain SLS before, but it does now. It cleans better, but I’m itchy where my clothes are snug, like waistbands. It also smells different - I buy the unscented, but I had to double check that I received the correct product because it smells… not exactly fragranced, but soapy in a way it didn’t before. I guess it’s time to look for a new detergent, although no one else in my house has said anything, so maybe I’ll keep buying it for my teenaged sons to use since it really does get their clothes clean.

After years of use we have gone back to Tide Ultra Hygenic Clean. Defunkify was good at the start but then their formulation changed and our clothes stopped getting clean. Eventually a smell started setting into our clothes that at best could be described as an old person smell. I did multiple baking soda + vinegar tub cleans in the washer, I did afresh tub cleans, I did uproot tub clean washes and nothing alleviated this smell. I was going crazy trying to figure out where the smell was coming from. It took talking with chat GPT amd doing some tests to eventually rule out that our laundry detergent was simply not cleaning our clothes. I did a sniff test where I ran a load of clothes after a deep tub clean, put them in the dryer, then pulled a garment out from the dryer and instantly put it in a zip lock bag. I then took the bag with me to work the next day after being away from our house for hours to desensitize my sense of smell to the odor, opened the bag, took a whiff, and was punched in the face with that disgusting old person smell. Our vehicles had started smelling like it too where our clothes made contact with the seats. We switched to Tide Ultra Clean Hygenic and after 1 wash and the same smell test, no additional tub clean, the old person smell is non existent. Our closet and vehicles are starting to smell less and less like it. Needless to say Defunkify does not work anymore. Their new formula is garbage. I wish I could give it 0 stars as it was making us go insane. We are in the process of washing every single garment, blanket and piece of bedding to actually get them clean.

Seriously gets the funk out.
