Nellie's or Beekman's Laundry Soap!???

Mary Bailey — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 04:31:50 GMT

which do you prefer?

I have both on autoship right now

I've been using Nellie's for more than year. I thought I'd try Beekman's also.

which do you like better & why?

TIA

Both are terribly overpriced. I use Purex detergent from Big Lots. More economical and does the trick. I wouldnt give any money to those goat milk thieves. Their prices are exhorbitant.

Been using Nellie's for over 5 years and will never consider changing. When you consider that you only use approx 1 tablespoon per load, it is very economical, actually.

I've mentioned before that my clothes come out smelling so clean and have no residue at all. I have been able to eliminate fabric softener so I factor that into the cost per load. Full disclosure: I sometimes add a scoop of Oxyclean to a white load, but not always.

@Reever I have to agree with this on the Beekman side. Their prices are ridiculous, but they definitely have a large following. I use Nellie's and haven't had any issues. I honestly haven't figured out cost per load, but you use so little for each load that I'm sure it comes out to be equivalent to the Tide Simply (liquid) that I was buying.

If I were to buy a specialty laundry product I'd go with Nellie's. I used Beekman cleaning products and they weren't effective and the amount of product is a horribly low.

Actually, Nellie's in quite economical and contains none of the harsh ingredients found in Purex and other detergents.

It's Nellies for me too--got the 500 load bucket on auto ship--paid $49.99 from HSN a few years ago. that works out to be .09998 per scoop----not over priced in my world--does a great job too. what is way overpriced are those wooly balls by Nellies---is it 4 for $25? I got 6 for under $10 on AMZ>

I use Beekman's. I tried Nellies', but it left white specks on black items.

I use and swear by Nellie's. Love it.

I refuse to use anything related to Beekman.

@Mary Bailey Mary, give Tide's plant-based laundry detergent in Honey Lavender a try. I purchased it and it cleans like regular tide maybe better but gentle. Target had it on sale recently. I am not sure if the sale is still on.

I have used both and have stuck with one, Nellie's.

I cannot stand the smell of that stuff.

I hate any overly scented laundry detergent.

@Lipstickdiva That's funny, I can hardly smell the scent.

@Reever. What is your problem with the Beekman boys. You keep referring them to thieves. I think that is way over the top. Whether not you like their products is fine but you don’t miss an opportunity to denigrate them in every thread.

Re: Nellie's or Beekman's Laundry Soap!???

Teddixat — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 14:38:30 GMT

@Lipstickdiva. Nellies has no scent. Haven’t tried the Beekman soap

@Misplaced Parisian. Why do you feel that way about Beekman?

Why would I want to change from the best??...that would be Nellie's, of course! I've been on AutoShip forever.

@wagirl I also got the Nellie's autoship from HSN with the big tub! I cancelled after the second tub since I had just had too much. I have enough laundry detergent to last a very long time.

Love how clean and fresh smelling my clothes come out!
