I'm absolutely blown away!! This detergent has surpassed all of my expectations. I had no clue how much whiter and brighter things could look... It isn't harsh on fabrics, either, and in fact, the colors are more vibrant and things came out wayyyyyyyyyy softer than when I put them in to wash!! It's natural, environmentally friendly and is cruelty-free, too. It smells divine, and the scent is not o Katelyn · walmart.com

I love Branch Basics concentrate. It tackles every mess with ease and doesn't leave behind toxic scent. I can't recommend it enough. I even use it for washing greasy dishes and it works like a charm. Also, I love how minimal it is. You can use it for literally everything and I do! It's even safe enough to use around the kids. My older kids have decided they really enjoy cleaning now. So much so th Jessica W. · branchbasics.com
