All All-Purpose Powder Detergent, 52 Oz Box

I got this detergent mainly for my babies cloth nappies, though I use it for a our household laundry. We have iron hard water and liquid detergent just wasn’t getting the nappies clean enough. This powder cleans well and it doesn’t irritate our skin – I especially have super sensitive skin, I cannot use most any big brand detergents as they make me super itchy. Both All powder and liquid are fine for my skin. My baby has never had a nappy rash, and her nappies stay clean and fresh with no smells or stains with this detergent.One thing to note. It seems this company is not in the habit of providing scoops. Which, if you’re not going to give your customers a scoop, then put measurements on your boxes!!! I emailed their customer service.*** For those who care, it’s a 1/4 (quarter) cup for regular loads, and 1/2 (half) a cup for large or heavily soiled loads. ***I bought a cheap set of metal cup measures at the dollar store. And just keep a quarter cup measure in the box. Problem solved.One thing I’ve learned about this detergent is you don’t want to use too much. If you use more then the recommended amount or more then the load needs, your clothes will come out feeling rough/stiff. I was using too much until I got the measurements. Now using the correct amount I get clean clothes and nappies that feel soft and don’t have any residues from too much detergent. Also, using the correct measurements, my box is lasting a hell of a lot longer.We are a low scent household, and pretty sensitive to heavily scented products. This detergent does have a smell. I wouldn’t consider it a fragrance though, to me it has a ‘soap’ smell. I notice it in the box and when my laundry is washing, but don’t find it lingers on our clothes/nappies/bedding once it’s washed and dried. However, compared to something like seventh gen unscented, this has a more noticeable smell.The packaging is simple to open with the pull tab. And I really like that it’s one less plastic thing in my home.Overall, I’m happy to use this detergent. I grew up in Europe where liquid detergent is much less common. So it’s nice to have finally found a powder here in the US that I like and doesn’t irritate our skin.Glad it’s back in stock, too! [...]
