I've been using it for several years for my HE washer. My clothes come out clean & smelling fresh!

I've used it for about five years now and I love it, too.

Just a heads up.....I've seen Nellie's at TJMax for a competitive.

I tried it and found it absolutely no different than the grocery store brands. What a scam and waste of money!!

I really like it. It dissolves completely, even in cold water. I like that I don't have to do a second rinse because it rinses out completely with just one rinse. That saves money and time. If there's a heavily soiled area or stain then use a pre-treatment spot remover and should help get things clean. I also like that there's no fragrance but that doesn't mean my clothes don't smell fresh...they do! I don"t know how they did that but it works....clothes smell fresh.

ETA - Since you use only a small amount for each load, the cost savings is outstanding. I can't tell you how much money I've saved by using Nellie's.

I always purchase the largest pail of Nellie's. Simply love it.

For those with Nellie's experience, I just purchased some and would like to know which way better results are obtained.

I have a top load HE washer so is it better to put in the scoop to empty tub and then clothes, clothes in and powder on top or does anyone mix the soap with water and then put in?

Thanks!

@Mershaads. ---I have a top load washer too, and put the Nellies in first , then my clothes--been using this brand for going on 4 years now and all is well. Sometimes I use an extra half spoonful for bigger loads. I get mine on auto ship from HSN--500 loads for $49.99--was a TS when I bought it.

I've used Nellie's for years and although it cleans adequately I have noticed that polyester items like underwear and nightgowns are starting to get a little dingy. I think I am going to switch to a hypoallergenic laundry soap from the supermarket.

@Twins Mom I don't know but I purchased Tide's new laundry detergent made with plant products. It gets stains out like I have never seen before. I am impressed and don't mind paying a little more.

I have used it for years as well. I use two scoops, because psychologically I can't get past using that one little scoop. (smile) One of the things that I like the most would be how soft my clothes are.

@froggy

Maybe try adding a cup of vinegar to your load of polyester garments. Synthetic materials tend to attract minerals from the water and that can make things look dingy. Vinegar will help dissolve some of the minerals so you clothes will be brighter over time.

I might have to try this powder. I have an HE and I swear to YOU...I don't think it is cleaning my clothes especially hubby undershirts like the old fashion machine. I hope this soap will make a difference.

Right now,I add like a scoop and a half.

I bought a small bag at Marshalls for $5.99 to try it. I like it so I buy a bag when I see it there.

I don't do much laundry, one load of sheets a week and then a load of towels every few weeks.

No issues with it for me.

I purchased Nellies from HSN a few years ago. Total waste of money, time and resources. It did not clean our clothes at all. Even basic dirt in the knees of jeans it could not get out let alone stubborn stains. I also found in some washes that it did not dissolve completely. I donated the rest of the packs because it did not clean at all. Lots of hype, little substance.
