@Sooner  When you use Nellies it only takes 1 TBL for a large load, clothes get really clean and fresh smelling even though it has no scent.  Much less fading on dark colors. It's good for the environment and it's very economical to use.

Just checked at Costco.  Not only do they have the laundry soap (800 loads), but they have the large size oxygen  brightener.  Love that stuff.  They also have some other Nellies products.  Their floor cleaner is the best I've ever used.


I just ordered the floor cleaner on costco's website thanks for the tip!

Does it dissolve in cold water?  So many just float and stay on clothes.

I have been using Nellies for years and that is the only one I would use (I still have two large buckets from the TSV from a while ago), however, I wanted to try Beekman's sweet grass scent.  While it is a little costly I have to say my laundry came out so soft and smelling so clean and fresh - I love it.  I am now cancelling my AD on Nellies (since I have way more than enough to last for a few years) and ordered the Beekman in Lavender and Fresh Linen.

I use it and wash mostly in cold water. No problems at all.

Re: Nellies Laundry Powder

[ Edited ]

I've decided to go back to using the Method brand for a while.  It's is liquid and readily available at Target.  

 

And, I currently have 3 large jugs in my pantry since my husband uses it or his work clothing.

 

It's just an easier option at the moment, and my clothing does  not require any heavy duty cleaning.

I've been on Auto-Ship for the 500-load bucket forever. One bucket lasts me for over 2 years. But today I canceled my long-standing Auto-Ship b/c my next shipment is back-ordered until November!!. Forget that. I need it sooner than that so I went and looked around and found a great deal on a 800-load bucket for about the same old price. Woo-whoo!

 

BTW, Hsn has added many new Nellie's products. From the looks of it they're not going away.

I am thinking of trying Nellie's.

 

I found this online:

 

Nellie's Laundry Soda is safe for HE and standard washing machines. If you have an HE washing machine, we recommend adding the Laundry Soda directly in the drum with your clothes. The newer machines and HE machines do not have enough water pressure to fully clean out the dispensers of Nellie's Laundry Soda.

 

Do most of you add the Nellie's to the drum instead of the dispenser?  If so, is it before you add the clothes or on top of them?

 

It is hard to believe so little of it gets clothing clean.

I have a top load machine and I always add Nellie's powder into the tub as it starts to fill w/o clothes in it. The powder dissolves almost instantly so then I start putting my clothes in shortly thereafter. Never had the powder clump or not dissolve. It goes into solution quickly, rinses out easily and thoroughly.
