What owners single out
In their words
“I've been using this for maybe 15 years now and it's getting harder to find, so I'm actually close to finishing my current container, making me appreciate how great it is all over again. It's just one of those quietly-great product (like my other favorite BioKleen products) that it's easy to forget is absolutely perfect. This size lasts forever for me, does great with cold water and delicate washe”

“This detergent is actually Free %26 Gentle, unlike the popular brand that I used for many years, which I eventually realized was causing me to itch after they changed their formula in 2024. This detergent seems to work well and I will purchase it again. Also, I use a half cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle and dryer balls in the dryer to combat static.”
