Kirkland Signature Ultra Free

[powerfin64]

After a constant annoying itching from using "Ecos" all natural detergent I bought from Costco in December, I took it back today and got "Kirkland Signature Ultra free" to try out. I compared both Ecos and Kirkland "enviromentally friendly" detergent, and they both had about the same ingredients in them, and I wanted to avoid the itching.(which I was suprised it did that)

Who had tried out the Kirkland Signature Ultra Free, and what was the results?

Ecos detergent made me very itchy too.

if I remember right, someone else also said they experienced some itching/rash also when I posted about trying it out.

I've been using the Kirkland Ultra Free HE liquid for some time now.

It works well enough on bath towels, which is about all I use it for.

I might also use it for delicates or washable wools, but I don't do those very often.

I prefer it to the environmentally friendly liquid because it has no fragrance.

Kirkland Ultra Free HE is all I have been using in the Maytags for the past couple of years now. I noticed better cleaning results when compared to Ecos. I use to add oxygen bleach to warm loads but quit when I started using and supplementing STPP in its place. I have nothing but serious praise for it with that combo, but I use it in a top loader and have a temper valve so cold is consistently 80F and warm is consistently 118-119F. Hot runs around 146F and I use both STPP and oxygen bleach with whites along with Kirkland soap.

I tried Ecos years ago in the Neptune. It washed ok, nothing special, but I really was turned off by the aroma it left on fabrics. Kind of disgusting. I don't recall it causing any itching but since I used it only for towels there wasn't much chance for prolonged skin contact to initiate a reaction.

The worst liquid I've ever tried in the Neptune was Wisk HE liquid. Washed poorly, oversudsed, and left a strong unwelcome fragrance. The finale was that the nearly full jug of it that I stored in my workshop split at the bottom and dumped sticky viscous concentrated Wisk all over the bottom shelf and adjacent flooring. Ever try to mop up a thick liquid detergent? It keeps on sudsing and resisting absorption by sponges!
