I won’t ever use any other laundry detergent. This is truly the best of the best. I have a couple family members with sensitive skin and this is the only detergent that doesn’t give them any kind of reaction. I also have two messy toddlers, one who is potty training and a blue collar husband who is often covered in mud. I never have stained clothes.

Hands down the best cleaner of all time! I’ve been using this stuff for many years. I use 2 tablespoons for my laundry. If I run out of dishwashing liquid, I will use it for that. I use it to clean soap scum in kitchen sink, bathtub (with magic eraser), it even cleans and shines stainless steel and glass. You literally don’t need 55,000 cleaners under your sink. This one takes the place of them al Rita L · Target
