So I was just officially informed that Kirkland Institutional powdered detergent has been discontinued after being AWOL from the shelves the past few months in my area. This has been my go to detergent since the 90's. While I quit using it for cold washes around 2008 and recently for warm washes in the past year (Kirkland free and clear liquid for those cycles), I exclusively use it for pre wash and hot wash cycles. Since it's a nonbiological detergent, I can dump it in 160F hot wash/soak cycle with oxy bleach without feeling guilty about unnecessary enzyme death.
I noticed Costco carries Nellies Laundry Soda. Surprisingly, the reviews seem to be quite impressive for a natural product. Just wanted some opinions on that detergent for those who have experimented with it.
I know Tide is king in the realm of powders but the aroma is too overbearing and long term use causes rash breakouts. Gain has identical results. Foca was kind of "meh" in performance region and that was back when it still had phosphates although I was using it under hard water conditions and I have a softener now. Cheer seems like a waste for my purpose as it's catered towards preserving dark colors. Haven't tried ALL in nearly 30 years. Any opinions are welcomed.
It sounds weird, but losing this detergent is actually kind of an emotional experience that really caught me off guard, like I lost a family member. I'm not a detergent whore like others here so I just use what works well and stick with it as long the performance remains the same and I don't break out.
