We like this brand (I am not a fan of all of the perfume and dyes in most popular laundry detergents) but I hold out for the big, 800 load tub for the best value.

I usually use two teaspoons of this with a couple splashes I white vinegar and a splash of 7 Generations lavender liquid laundry detergent if I want a little fragrance

This is an awful laundry product that barely qualifies as a detergent. It is mostly filler with only one surfactant (SLS) and only one enzyme (subtilisin). If you need a fragrance free option from Costco, Tide Advanced Care Free and Gentle that's on sale in warehouses would be a much better choice with a complete surfactant profile and most enzymes (it's only missing lipase to attack body oils).

Tide Ultra Oxi is the best complete laundry detergent that Costco offers (good surfactants, good enzyme profile that includes lipase), but it admittedly has a strong scent.

I still have a big bucket of this stuff but I'm an office worker. I like it because it's absolutely unscented and was cheap. If you're digging trenches all day then forget it you need a better job where this detergent will be acceptable

Good stuff, but it's the same price at Amazon per load: $31 for a 200 load bucket, which is 16 c/load

Like the poster above said, the better deal is waiting for the eight hundred load bucket to go on sale.

Our clothes were not getting properly washed with this product. Had to add a booster and then scent to get acceptably clean and fresh smelling clothes.
Got fed up with all the extra steps. Back to using seventh Gen.
Great budget friendly product... if you can make it work for you.

Not sure why the downvotes - was looking and saw some reviews say it doesn't really clean.

It doesn't remove stain when budget detergent Purex can remove stain. I am not sure what this does but it's not a real detergent. I bought an 800 loads bucket two years ago and still have more than half. I use this as an add on (1 tsp) to real detergent.
