Question for Nellie Laundry users

Abrowneyegirl · ‎03-15-2010

Do you find that it keeps your brights bright?

This summer I washed all my summer brights in Nellies ONLY and I noticed that it is the end of the season that all my colors are still nice and bright!

I am not sure if it the Nellies or that since we moved I now use a traditional washing machine (NOT an HE model).

Overall I have noticed a vast improvement in my laundry since going back to the traditional washer. But the difference in the brights is outstanding.

Thank heavens we did not replace the W/D as we planned to when we moved in!!

I think that the type of water that each city/town has makes a big difference too. I have been using Nellie's for a couple of years and it does a great job on light and dark colors. I like it mostly because of what ingredients it doesn't contain.

Been using Nellie's for 2 or 3 years and all my clothing--delicates, towels, etc. come out looking great and nice and clean.

I have been using Nellie's for about a year and a half in my 31 year old Maytag. I wash in cold water only. I dry most things on delicate (yes, even my jeans!). I use the Lamby balls in the dryer. It seems to me that my clothing is cleaner and brighter. I used Woolite & Tide in the past and I think that those two left residual detergent in my clothing.

I have noticed that my washing machine get less buildup of soap and needs to be cleaned less. I have also noticed that the dryer vent no longer has as heavy a buildup of lint. We had to to a vent clean out every two-three months in the past. Now we do it at about 6 month intervals.

I love that it has no odors, no perfumes and no residue.

Think I'd better try this stuff out. I've only seen Nellie's on HSN. Is there another place to buy it? I wash in cold water and even use Clorox on the towels and T-shirts and they come out very dingy looking, especially the white towels. You'd think I didn't wash them.

@coffee drinker I often see it in TJMaxx or Marshalls but the price is much better on HSN

@AbrowneyegirlThanks for that info. I did a google search and found QVC has it also along with many other places on-line. Wally World has the 600 load bucket for about $1 more than HSN with free shipping. Costco has it on-line for $52.00 for the 400 load bucket with free shipping. Don't know if you have to be a member to purchase.So, there are bargains out there if you're willing to search. But I will look for it at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. A smaller quantity will be great just to try it.

I have used Nellies for many years and have been reasonably happy with it. However, while visiting my folks I had to wash a few things and used their brand name detergent. I was shocked at how much cleaner my things looked - they were some poly or nylon nightgowns and underwear. They had looked very dingy before. Maybe it was just because of the fabric type. In general I have no complaints about Nellies.

Amazon has smaller quantities
