Review on Arm & Hammer 33200-01001 Powder Laundry Detergent, Crisp Clean, 18lb Pail: Powerful and Effective Cleaning Solution for All Your Laundry Needs! by Jim Bethea

*UPDATE APRIL 2021* I placed another order and they held me back - it's on its way, it's on the way, it's in stock. Then don't rearrange it according to their screen. Nothing. Then YOU WILL RECEIVE A REFUND. Everything for the product is probably in stock. Maybe it's the pandemic, but you need to KNOW if your product is in stock and if not, don't list it as in stock and don't give the buyer an apology. I'm deducting my stars for this nonsense! i am a cleaner Snob? Or at least someone who has tried MANY! I've tried capsules and just no, I'm terrified of the thought of melting plastic in them spilling into my laundry every wash and most of them smell bad, ESPECIALLY GAIN. Gag! And no capsule will be super clean if you don't use 2. It just smells like them. I like to use goat milk soap because it's chemical free, but it doesn't always clean optimally. I like to keep it for pillows, things that aren't heavily soiled, etc. I like liquid baby detergents (Purex is a favorite, followed by ALL) for the scent and skin-friendliness, but I just got the bottle in no time. So for the price it's not that great. With 5 dogs and a gardener, craftsman etc. I'm really confused. But I'm also sensitive to strong smells and scents that I don't like. It works out. Initially I was seriously impressed by the cleaning power. I HATE MY HE washing machine as it hardly uses any water and nothing is ever fully submerged in water and I plan on keeping it for my next step. I HATE them so much I like a lot of old washing machines. However, I was able to wash several soiled dog blankets and pillows with this soap and after the first wash on the FAST cycle they came out SUPER PERFECT CLEAN. No other cleaner has done that! I mean things that haven't been clean for 6 months despite having many washes in my hands PERFECTLY CLEAN so much so that it stopped me from really checking. It was the only impression I needed to know it was GOOD. NOTHING has removed the stains from these dog blankets and pillows. IT DID. I like the FRESH CLEAR FRAGRANCE, I would call it the scent of FRESH LAZY. Doesn't really dwell on the clothes unless you're using a WHOLE SHOVEL (I did it the first few times not knowing how much to put in it. LOL. Boy was WRONG!), washed out and wearing a black hoodie. And I probably used too much. I am happy with it, I will buy again. No skin irritation, no smell. Like it a lot. It was well packaged and arrived on the site with no problems. I'll be back for more! I haven't used any powder other than my goat milk soap since I was probably 20 and now an old man. LOL I LIKE. And no dirty dripping bottles etc. Not disappointing and a good price although wish it was a little cheaper these days to wash EVERYTHING as soon as you walk out the door. Now I've got the good old days filling the washing machine with water without that HE junk but only with cold water and this detergent still works like a champ even in just cold water. Just think I can say that during COVID I wash my face masks SOMETIMES but prefer to use ALL or PUREX baby or unsent liquids just on them as they will be on your face for HOURS - it's good for everything else. and will continue to buy it!.
