Eco Friendly Detergent

I'm thinking of try this detergent out when my bottle of Wisk HE is empty. It can be used in TL and FL machines.

Let us know how it works!

I use ecover laundry soap and it does a pretty damn good job, especially if I dump 2 ounces of oxyboost in with the wash.

I wasn't impressed with ecovers fabric softener though. The clothes didn't feel any softer, compared to no softener at all. I also had a lot of static issues.

I will give you a full report after I've done a few loads with it. I don't use liquid fabric softeners. My roommate seems to have allergies to something in Downy which cause him to break out.

So I mainly use dryer sheets or nothing at all.

Full Circle

I have used these products (I can purchase them locally at Schnucks). The lavender detergent and softener smell quite fresh. I prefer the non-scented softener though. It does not require very much product at all - if you use the dosage instructions (at least here) your clothes will be too soft and a little greasy feeling.

"if you use the dosage instructions (at least here) your clothes will be too soft and a little greasy feeling."

Hmmmm, sounds like I have finally found an "All Natural" fabric softener that will fit my needs. YAY!!

I saw the detergent at Schnucks too. It was only $5.46 for the bottle. Dixieland, do you have a TL or FL machine? The bottle says it can be used in a HE machine, I wonder if I will have to cut back on how much I use in my FL.

I have a TL machine and dose as instructed. Now, I am no fan of liquid detergents so in order for me to that "slippery water feeling" I add a scoop of borax to the brew when I start the washer. It's a nice product overall. My mother requests it sometimes as no stores in her area carry the line.

Again, I use very little fabric softener - that is just a personal preference (I like my towels to absorb water when I use them).

Trying It Right Now

I bought a bottle today, and using it right now. I wasn't sure how much to use for a FL machine so I went with the amount for a Medium size load, unless you are supposed to use the same amount for both FL and TL machines. I bought the Chamomile & Ylang it was the only sent Schnucks had in stock.
