It got my Hell Runner kit clean and fresh-smelling. Something which can cope with the fallout from the Bog of Doom is worth raving about :)

I'm using something called Stergene at the moment. Same price and seems just as good if not better. Very thick and gloopy, kit still feels a bit soapy after a quick "sports wash" on my machine.

Is Halo Sports really the same as other Halo. I think I could smell my shirt at the start of parkrun today so I guess I need some.

Much the same.
I don't like Halo, it makes everything smell chemically.

I use Vanish Oxi Action Hygiene.

Soak the stuff for a while (an hour or overnight) and then wash them as normal. They dont smell of anything after that. Cheaper than Halo, and yo can get it anywhere too.

Aerial do an antibacterial stain remover that you add to normal washing powder,,that pretty good.
