Review on πŸ’¦ Arm & Hammer Plus OxiClean Odor Blasters Fresh Burst Liquid Laundry Detergent, 122.5 Fl oz - Offers 70 Loads Capacity by Luz Rojas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Switching from Persil

I was keen to try this product as I have used Oxiclean Blaster scented powder with great results. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Oxyclin, but 3 enzymes have been added to this cleaner to remove more stains (a mix of alpha amylase and mannanase and protease enzymes) that help remove starch and protein stains . I LOVE the smell of this detergent so much that when my washing machine's automatic dispenser ran out of Persil, I decided to refill it. I still love Persil with stain removers for its cleaning power and I don't mind paying an amount for any cleaner I really like, I just never liked the smell of Persil. It was never offensive, I just never looked forward to it. I'm looking forward to the scent of this Arm and Hammer Cleanser! Laundry is my favorite job :) and I don't have a big family where I spend a lot of money on washing powder. (My 150 ounce bottle of Persil lasted a year. Water softener + small family = less product.) My first test of this product was last night on my son's dirty baseball uniform. Dirt on the legs and all over the front of the shirt...I can't tell where I was when it happened because I never saw that slide. I didn't scrape off the dirt, didn't prewash and didn't edit anything. I just tossed it in the washing machine with that detergent, let it fill and shake for a minute or two, paused and went to bed. I feel like I need to add something here for people who "don't have time" for it. Why the hell don't you have time to push the button and then ignore the laundry to get it wet? I woke up and started the car to finish where it left off. When I took them out, I was very surprised that his uniform was spotless, like new. How could I ignore it and have such results? Well I LOVE this detergent, LOVE its smell and now I'm rewashing the sheets because I want to smell it all night! What I also noticed after using it is that my cotton clothes are softer and I don't use fabric softener. I used Lysol sanitizer in my conditioner but stopped using it because I didn't want to hide and lose the smell of that cleaning product! My results may vary because I have: city water with a water softener agitator that uses A LOT of water :) I almost always soak overnight in cold water (cold in Florida = cool to warm depending on time of year) laundry ozone machine LOTS of laundry balls for extra mixing/cleaning that always stay in my car. I do this with my laundry but I love CLEAN things so I have to start with clean water and a clean machine so I have a softener and an ozone generator. These two should be mine. If I see spots, I pre-treat them with Puracy. If not, I'll get mine next time IF there's a next time. If over time I see that this isn't giving the same consistent results as cleaning, I'll update this. My son is fast approaching his smelly teenage years and this detergent is already in the car waiting for it to arrive... I'm waiting with confidence. UPDATE: I've been using this cleanser exclusively for the past 4 or 5 months. I love it! I stopped pre-treating stains. In fact, I stopped looking for them too. During this time I only managed to wash 2-3 things. My son has developed an odor that extends beyond his room. The smell remains when everything that can be washed is removed from his room for washing. This cleaner really takes the odor and bad odor out of your laundry! I had to turn on the air purifier, apply hand and hammer scents to the carpets, get him in the shower and use his hand and hammer deodorant. He has it, he just forgets to use it. Guys. SMX. PLEASE if you are reading this and liking it because it resonates with you LET ME KNOW. I feel like I'm the only one in the same position! One final thought: Of the probably 100 or so products Revain has supplied me with over the years, this cleanser and other liquids, Lysol underwear (about 15 bottles), several powdered versions of Oxiclean in 3-5 lb containers, Cleaning media from 1 gallon ..... I have NEVER received anything, it broke, flowed, exploded.... EVER. I don't know if the problem is the warehouse it is shipped from OR UPS/Fedex/USPS in your area. If you are in downtown Florida the packaging, shipping and shipping is amazing!
