Yes..I use Dawn to wash my dishes ..and literally. 1-2 drops is all it takes for all my dishes to get clean.. blue liquid only..lol..when I get the pink Dawn liquid..it seems I need 4-5 drops on a sponge..still works better than...pamolive and Ajax.. as they take 9-10 drops..so your basically using more.spending more!! With a family of 6..I learned the cheap comes out expensive..so I definitely use Dawn..for my dishes..one bottle for 4 bucks last about a month and a half..and I look forward to trying it in the spray bottle. thanks..🤗
For organic stains like food, blood ,sweat use oxi clean. For oil and greasy stains use dawn dish soap and for pen ink use 70-95% alcohol . For lingering smells use white vinegar
Ammonia is another great detergent booster. The "fumes" go away in the wash. It's great on some stsins, too. Consult a laundry and stain removal chart.
Honestly, all the new laundry detergents are over priced and NOT needed. Get the older style powder detergents (comes in all brands for a variety of prices; but, always cheaper than liquid or pods by far). They have tide powder, down to offbrand powder. I usually get the tide powder, but, I've found some of the lower priced ones (such as gain and arm and hammer) work great too. I've never gone for the 'off brands', I wouldn't suggest that. But, to save money on detergent, get the powder stuff! Way cheaper, I feel it works better (the new pod stuff is just a gimmick and for 'ease of use' - but really, how hard is it to scoop up some powder...).
I've had more than one plumber tell me and people I know to stay away from powders (if you own the house), especially Tide. I was told that stuff crystalizes in the pipes.
Powder Tide Original Scent outperforms all liquid Bullshit even liquid tide... the foam action only powder gives lifts most of the stains... like peroxide foam action... nofoam with liquids
CHEAPEST & BEST OLD SCHOOL CLOTHES WASHING ADDITIVE: my grandma always put a cup of white vinegar in every wash, no matter the color because: it softens hard water preventing wrinkles, it prevents & removes armpit stains, it brightens clothes colors, it removes sweat & perfume odors. White vinegar doesn’t react with your regular detergent, either. You’re welcome 😉
I also forgot to mention that 1 cup of white (regular clear, see-through) vinegar in your wash keeps new clothes colorfast; which means it helps to stop them from bleeding color dyes.
Greg Egan I wouldn’t call Arm & Hammer cheap. There are several brands on the market far less expensive. Unfortunately, they work about as well as you’d expect.
enchantedboy66 When it comes to saving money I'm up there with the best of them, but sometimes if you want results you do have to spend the money. Persil was demonstrably better than Arm and Hammer, I could see the difference after one wash and compared that with the prior washes and they were much whiter. But if it's good enough for you that's great. A few extra dollars spread out over 64 washes isn't going to break me lol.
Greg Egan A few extra dollars? More like quadruple the price of Arm & Hammer load for load, but whatever. lol Thank God I don’t have any laundry that dirty! ;)
You can hack front loaders to use more water. It needs to have the clothes fully saturated a little water in the bottom, so the clothes fall into the water and flop around.
I had 4 children and laundry was my favorite chore. I especially enjoyed hanging my laundry. Now I live alone in an apartment where I only have a few loads a month and no clothesline. I just buy the cheapest detergent because my clothes don’t get that dirty any more.BUT I remember reading somewhere that a good effective laundry soap is using equal parts Oxyclean and Arm & Hammer Washing Soda. I plan on giving it a try when I need to buy more detergent.
@@icwiz Uh....what DOESN'T vinegar do?? It kills odors and whitens and softens clothes. And no, your clothes doesnt come out of the washer "stinking" of vinegar. You dont add the whole gallon, maybe just like a cup or so. I grew up reading Hints from Heloise. But here's a link for you. www.thespruce.com/top-uses-for-vinegar-in-laundry-2147286

Your skin absorbs a lot more than the companies that be let on. The green cleaning stuff never works as well, but if you do your research, you can live an almost chemical free life. Parabens, sulfates, phosphates.. teach yourself what how to read material data safety sheets for specific chemicals. Is mind boggling what the FDA deems ok for people to put on skin/in body. Just because the label says organic, it doesn’t mean Jack squat. It just costs more money to get a sticker that says that..

the secret to clean clothes is soft water, in scientific term, alkaline water. most tap water has a ph of 6.3, which is acidic. baking soda has a ph of 14, adding a couple of teaspoons to your laundry will produce cleaner clothes.
@@JA-gx4hbyou are correct. This is why most boxes of borax (9.24 pH) recommend about 3/4 of a CUP per load. They are also just guessing as they have no idea how hard your water is. The harder you water is, the more borax you would need to see the same results. We have hard water and I usually use a full cup for very dirty clothes.
I use tide and basically just pre-soak everything for a hour. As a factory worker who's clothes stay saturated in sweat, grease, oil, and other chemicals it's the best I've found. I've tried the budget brands, the middle brands. Arm & hammer isn't terrible, at least for odor but actually cleaning and de-stinkafying Tide wins hands down.
Don't you mean YES not YASS. The dictionary shows that the correct spelling of the word YES is with an E NOT AN A. But I'm sure you already knew that... Let's hope. 😁😆🤔😰😨😳😱😱😱🤤🤤
Stay with arm and hammer free and clear, no scent....nothing. Less toxic. Gain often has febreze chemicals in it which are extremely toxic. My arm will go numb and I will be affected neurologically, ...Brian fog, stutttering.... don’t buy G A I N.
@@johnjohng668 I'm sorry that you have a bad reaction to Gain. That's really unfortunate. I'm glad you have something that works for you. But personally speaking, I have to have some fragrance in my laundry. My personal favorite A&H detergent is Arm and Hammer Clean and Simple in the Crisp linen scent. It's a clear formula that isn't heavily perfumed but works great.
MWJ '90 thank you. I was seriously chemically injured by inhaling scented laundry and our cat had seizures. The scent (fragrance) is where most of the toxicity is. A label can state: fragrance - but it doesn’t tell us anything about the toxic chemicals that make up that synthetic fragrance. This is a loophole in the law, unfortunately. Now these products have a label: EPA’S SAFER CHOICE. Safer than what? I wrote the EPA because I was confused as to how they call anything fragranced “safer choice”. Products with fragrance are NOT safe. They are full of hundreds of chemicals which can initiate asthmatic attacks in healthy people, and can exacerbate asthma attack in those around you. So, in the end, as long as people demand scented products, we will have health issues related to the use of these products. The EWG rated most of the ARM & Hammer laundry products (D and F) for health concerns. They list the chemicals and potential health effects. I’m not telling you what to use at all. It’s everyone’s business & choice. However, I almost died from exposure to vented laundry products through dryer exhaust that entered our condo unit. I suffered nerve damage, cognitive decline, loss of muscle mass just from inhalation. Our cat had seizures that suddenly stopped when we moved. This was enough for me to thoroughly research this issue in order to protect myself from further injury. There’s always free and clear products which are safer and the use of essential oils on a washcloth thrown in the dryer. Much much safer and doesn’t support companies who are not really concerned about your health or mine. Take care.
@@johnjohng668 Thank you for your comment. I'm going to switch and not use perfumed detergents now. What you said makes sense since I read about all those fragrance air fresheners which definitely have toxins in them. Best to use natural oils if you want some fragrance.
@@yesenianunez9556 I wouldn't mind having a glass top washing machine so I could watch the process ! I often stand outside & watch the breeze blow the laundry on the clotheslines...it's soothing, almost meditative.
To save money, I prefer the old fashioned way. I wave my hands over the dirty laundry while quoting Lady MacBeth: "Out, damned spot! out, I say!" It doesn't get my laundry clean but I save $ on detergent!
"Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us!" Didn't anyone ever tell you it is bad luck to mention the name of the Scottish Play, or to quote from it except in the context of a performance?
I'm 73 and hardly ever get my clothes dirty I recycle recycling but now I'm a stickler when it comes to my sheets but then still I don't need expensive detergent I'm not questioning my money. The cheaper the better.
Vinegar also helps keep your washing machine clean. Especially if you have an HE washer that stores a little bit of water after each wash. Keeps the mold and mildew smell away. I use vinegar in every wash and man what a difference!
@@ms.anonymousinformer242 The saleslady at Sears told me to put it inside the rubber gasket at bottom where the water collects. Also, keep the drawer open where detergent goes in until it can dry out. That's for a front loading HE machine.
Love my Persil! I do sometimes add Stanley Degreaser to the load of my husband's work clothes (so greasy!), but Persil really is worth the price overall.

@@chellyjelly7963 it depends on which kind of persil you get. I like the 2 in 1 stain fighter, with OXY, 2 in 1 odor fighter, and active scent boost. I work in a kitchen and never have any leftover stains even after some of the shirts have been sitting in my basket for a week. The original isn't that great compared to all other kinds available.
Also the front loading machines which use hardly any water are the problem with clothes not getting clean. A standard top loader is the only way to wash.
@@lillic8522 I believe in Europe they have hard water, lime scale, and calcium in their water which creates more laundry problems than it solves. I too have a front loader and it cleans clothes 100 times better, faster, and uses less energy and detergent than my old top loader. Front loader washer is the only way !
If you're serious about saving money for laundry be smart do what I do... buy the cheapest laundry detergent and a box of borax... each time you do your laundry some borax to your detergent ...that borax is what makes everything really clean
Borax really isn't cheap, but then you don't need a huge amount of it. My box says to add 1/4 cup to each load but I think that is excessive. Maybe 1/8 cup for a full-sized load.
True it's not cheap but you only need a little bit of it for you to load of laundry as you said. All I know is years ago detergent was normally priced and then all of a sudden overnight it skyrocketed
I tried OxiClean years ago on something and it ruined it because I think it had some bleach in it but I didn't notice it was on fabric that was colored
I used to use Wisk Deep Clean, but then Henkel bought out Sun Products and discontinued it. Wisk always had top ratings, performed very well, and was also affordable. I remember going to the store and finding little tags on all of the bottles that said “Like Wisk? Try Persil!” I bought all of the bottles of Wisk they had left on the shelf, and when I ran out I switched to Kirkland Signature. Persil works fine, but it’s the most expensive stuff on the shelves and doesn’t smell nearly as good as Wisk or Kirkland.
Cory Smell = toxic. Fragrance is derived from synthetic chemicals. Buy only free and clear or you are inhaling toxic chemicals and that’s on your sheets, your towels, etc. Free & Clear products only :)
Mule team borox and tide or whisk is the ultimate. Dawn dish liquid is the best pre-treater. And Murphy's oil soap is amazing on dirty greasy clothes. My dad worked for Amtrak for 40 years and this was the only cleanser that kept his work clothes looking new.
I am a mechanic and Tide ultra liquid is the one that works. Other brands are watered down. I pretreat with purple power on bad grease stains and then wash. Works on my rags too.
Yeah I always used whatever was cheap and did the most loads until I started wrenching in a factory on industrial machines. Sweat, grease, grime, and now all I use is Tide. Even it doesn't cut all the grime stains out especially around my pants ankles but it's better than most. I may try that purple power trick around the cuffs to see if it'll get it out.
I discovered Best Value detergent, and now, I use no other expensive brand. In these tougher times, I have found this brand just as reliable for anyone looking to budget.
I used to buy the arm and hammer detergent for its prize and quantity BUT i noticed having to use more than recommended. I’ve started using the KIRKLAND detergent and it works amazing. I ACTUALLY use the correct dosages and it works great
I feel the Kirkland brand stuff changed the color of our clothing. I’m very partial towards tide. But I’m going to try persil. I don’t need the cheapest bc I buy nice clothes, I’m willing to spend money on detergent to protect them.
Make your own detergent people, it's way cheaper and it works. No fillers or toxic chemicals, it's pennies per load too. 2 cups of Super Washing Soda 2 cups of Soap Shreds 1 cup of Baking Soda 1/4 cup for a big load 1/8 cup for small load Use Vinegar in place of bleach & fabric softener. I wash my laundry by hand so the final rinse add the vinegar then, if that's how you do it too. Also ditch the dry sheets too. A drying rack takes longer obviously but it's free. I just like the idea of saving money where ever possible. Simplicity is Bliss. God Bless all ✌
I personally don’t recommend this. I repair appliances for a living and see mechanical issues all the time due to home made detergents. The main issue is people are using too much detergent. 2 tablespoons of HE detergent for a full load is more than enough.
You are amazing. I appreciate that you use this simple recipe. If only people knew what all these chemicals in their scented laundry detergents are doing to their health. And their poor kids! I have multiple chemical sensitivities from inhaling neighbors vented laundry exhaust. Our cat had seizures from inhaling it. We moved. We live in a better isolated neighborhood where we still are exposed outside but not as much as our last place. I’d be curious where you live off the grid. I want to find a place that I don’t have to be concerned about pesticides or neighbors scented exhaust… God bless..
@@johnjohng668 I don't live off the grid, I do my laundry though 100% off grid cause a couple years ago or so my washer went out on me. I refused to get it repaired or replaced so I've been doing the wash by hand since then. My dryer just recently went out on me too so I'm doing it all off grid now, the wash and drying. It's a weekly chore and a little bit of work mind you but, it's relaxing and I tend to enjoy it now.
CrazyWaffle5150 because it’s disgusting, disheartening, annoying as hell, and utterly unnecessary. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to be bothered by it.
Timmy75 “Phoney-baloney plastic banana...make-me-puke-in-my-socks...drivel...pretentious asshole...blah blah blah...” lol you sound even more like the fragile triggered snowflake ur accusing me of being. That’s a lot of dramatic white knighting over gross comments on a laundry detergent video but whatever makes you feel alive I guess🤷🏿♀️
This was helpful VERY HELPFUL!! I’ve made my decision. I’m sticking with tide and the part that I learned , that was really helpful was the part about using too much detergent can leave residue on your clothes. I have eczema and I already have to be careful but that tip was appreciated because I do tend to put more than what they recommend. So very helpful quick video

Anything that you wash that can tolerate HOT water, do it...and then you can cut waaay back on the amount of detergent (which will help). PS Tide Original powder is by far the best. If your eczema is really giving you grief, rinse in hot water too. Most machines won't give you that option, but when the wash water has spun out, you can manually restart the washer on the wash cycle, then just spin it out after it agitates enough to rinse your clothes. PS: Too bad the machines are all 'high efficiency' now, because they're NOT efficient, and they leave soap residue as well as not cleaning well at all. Bring back the old washing machines!!
Pro tip: Use powder based detergents and add colorsafe chlorox it is much better and cheaper. If you are having trouble removing stains such as oils, blood, paint etc. Just add a cup of baking soda and a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid. If your clothes are dry or not soft enough then add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar with your fabric conditioner. These will solve your problem.
No way. Powder makes the fabric soooo firm and hard. Even with softener. Especially in the USA, the washing machines are so fast that the fabric doesn’t even get rinsed properly. What I do is I wash only whites, only blacks or only multi colors, and I put the appropriate detergents and brightening or whitening extras for each, and same softener for all. Sometimes I wash twice just to make sure they are properly rinsed. My clothes look like brand new and super soft :)
I like the Arm & Hammer wash pods. They seem to work for me and they are a little cheaper. I used to make my own laundry powder but it always seemed to fade my color clothes, so I went back to buying it.
Husband works in hot glass factory and goes to the gym every day I do also, tide is the only thing that gets rid of body odor and skin oils on our case.
For me it's about how well the detergent leaves my clothes smelling and how the detergent treats my fabrics. Lower priced detergents don't leave my clothes in better shape. I use Tide or Persil.
I have allergies so I know what to use! Tide has worked for many years for us! Also, it depends on your clothes. I work in a laboratory so I wash my uniforms regularly and don’t get them dirty to often, unless I work in the hospital then I’m more concerned about germs and sanitizing them to kill bugs than I am getting rid of dirt/stains unless of course it’s blood or urine stains in that case I will just discard the set and buy a new one.
It’s funny how lab ppl have no clue about poisons in like detergents which causes disease not germs or viruses that your body makes to get rid of the poison in the first place.
My girlfriend is a health care worker, she uses hydrogen peroxide ,to get blood out of her scrubs, she spot soaks where it's needed. Blood come out with ease.
For *really tough stains* I use regular old shampoo or Dawn Dishwashing liquid. I just pretreat the stain, wait a few minutes and wash. Rarely do I ever have a stain that I have to run through the washer again.
Where can I find their coupons at friend ? Cause I really want to try it at a discount price to see if I like it before paying full price for anything.
Had some white gym socks with ground-in dirt. Washed in different liquid detergents over the months and lots of stains remained. But they were gym socks, so didn't care. Pandemic and ran out of liquid detergent but had a box of powdered Fab that was at least 30 years old. Used 1/2 of the recommended amt. because it's a "HE" washer and didn't want a lot of suds. Guess what...socks now very clean! Wonder if powders are still formulated the same way. My guess is not. Phosphate?
I always pretreat using my detergent haha. What's confusing is that the line on the cap for how much to use does not match up with the lines on my he washer fill cups so I never know which I'm supposed to go by. But going to line 2 would always leave residue on my clothes (if I got rained on I would have white spots on my shirt) so I usually use a lot less than I used to. The bottles will say how many loads the bottle is for but that's if you use the bare minimum of detergent
You go by what your washer recommends. If you use a front loader like I do, there's a reason they restrict the amount of liquid detergent. most of it is concentrated already,& they want to keep the amout from affecting the washer. Most detergents are lower sudsing today, but there are some that still produce a lot of suds. Back when I bought my first residential front loader in 1999, a Frigidaire Gallery, low sudsing detergent (or HE as it's called today) wasn't available. The washer manufacturer stated to only use half the amount that the product stated. If it was the classic 1 cup, then you used only 1/2 cup. 1/2 cupo, it was 1/4 cup. The amount of liquid varies from washer manufacturer to manufacturer. It's like for fabric softener, certain brands don't match up with the amount recommended. Since I don't do enough laundry, I buy the smallest bottles of Suavitel & non-concentrated, just so it doesn't thicken up.
With Tide, you're just paying for a name. "All" works better and doesn't make your skin itch. (I have to use the unscented version of All). BUT, I have found a new favorite: "Up and Up" at Target, and it even smells better than All (including the unscented All), it also comes in an unscented, undyed version. I also use baking soda with the detergent. As for powdered detergent, I haven't seen any at any stores in years, but I have ordered it on Walmart.com.
The selection of powder detergent has gone down, because the demand isn't has high as it was in the 80's & 90's. For powder Tide, I can only find original scent & original scent with bleach. If I find Cheer at all, just regular. Same with gain, just original scent. Out of Henkel brands, just original scent All (feels like sandpaper, but loose), Purex in different scents, & because it's cheap, I usually find it in the classic 1`cup formula, & must only 1/2 cup, if it's used in a front loader to prevent oversudsing. I've only found one size box of Oxydol in powder. Since Proctor & Gamble sold off Oxydol & Biz bleach in 2000, CR Brands now makes Oxydol to include Biz built in, & if you're lucky to find it, they now make a liquid version sold in stores. Sometimes I find Fab powder in Walmart from Phoenix Brands. Then from Mexico, there's Ariel & Foca in powder, sold in plastic bags, rather than in cardboard boxes.
Walmart forces CRT on their Employees. Think of that option less cashier being forced to listen to being the trouble/ oppression that B&B people suffer.

I bought ARIEL online at TARGET and got it delivered to the door. I always loved Ariel since the 1990's - sometimes went with other detergents, but always came back to Ariel. has that good smell and cleans well - and now that I know that with all the packs and gels and liquids I poison my body with all the leftover of plastic which does not dissolve and also damage the washer and pipes - I stick again with powder.
I like the Surf brand washing powder most. I prefer solid detergents because it's more concentrated, less water, less weight, less plastic, less waste. The packaging is almost entirely cardboard which is more environmentally friendly than plastic jugs which likely don't get recycled.
I’ve used a lot of different detergents and I find All to be the best. As a nurse, I’ve left work with some pretty disgusting stains on my scrubs and All has gotten them out every time.
I'm a 13 year old girl and I decided to start doing my own laundry loads and buying my own detergent today was the day I decided this and the first laundry detergent I decided to use was persil proclean intense fresh deep clean then when I run out of it I'm gonna use a different one and decide which one I like more and compare it to another one has anyone tried to persil proclean intense fresh deep clean if so can you please tell me how good it is
This is precisely why I add two large boxes of kosher salt to my homemade laundry detergent. A concoction that costs about $30 and lasts an entire year.
Tried everything and always go back to Tide. Doesn't take much and then add quarter cup of vinegar in rinse cycle. It's a disinfectant and fabric softener.
Just combine #Persil & #Tide together like I did. I poured #Persil in a half full bottle of Liquid #Tide . 50% #Persil & 50% Liquid #Tide . I now have the BEST #LaundryDetergent in the World.
The Rolls Royce Trent you cannot mix chemicals like that because you have no idea what you are mixing. These detergents are made with unhealthy toxic ingredients. Use free and clear only.
You can also use a cheap baby shampoo to get grease and oil out of clothes. Wet the stain, pour some baby shampoo in it and scrub a bit before washing. It works on sweat stains too.
Add washing soda(sodium carbonate) along with the detergent. It is the most useful stuff and works amazing in laundry. Best thing to clean jewelry with too.
My wash routine is overkill I guess :( I use Pursil, add borax, a tiny bit of fels naphtha or zote soap, and occasionally a little oxy clean. Rinse and spin first, hot wash on heavy duty, soak, and extra rinse again at the end.
Many toxic ingredients in P E R S I L. Feels naphtha made my friend permanently sick with MCS. you don’t need all those chemicals and products. Just use basic free and clear detergent, no scents (synthetic and toxic). I use Better Life. Or ECOS free and clear only.
Wow, some deep comments about laundry soap. I have a front load washing machine that uses much less water than top loading. That said, I have tried using powered detergent - not recommended either - they don't clean as well. I also don't need near as much liquid in the front loader. I recycle the bottle. There are two of us & I do laundry when we have full loads. A large container will last me 6 months.
The laundry 🧺detergent that comes in sheets Earth Breeze is very handy, and reduces many costs, or $2 bag of Roma works well. Cheapest pretreat is to dampen some bar 🧼soap and rub on stain 💰
A plumber told me years ago how much his business increased when liquid laundry detergent came into use… He suggested that I stick to powders… Which I do ....clothes get clean and never had a plumbing problem since changing from liquid to powder👍
Midgie....Good!! I , remember asking the plumber why the powder was better..he said it agitates and doesn’t clog the pipes as liquid eventually will !! Glad it’s not been an issue with You!
THE BEST LAUNDRY DETERGENT YOU WILL EVER NEED IS CALLED ROMA (Jabon Roma). It is the be all end all do all of cleaning products, meant for laundry but amazing for dishes, plant protection, bathrooms, car wash, and even to shower with. My mexican people and generations past have used this wonderful product!
I don't like my new washer either. They conserve water, problem is sometimes you have to do an extra rinse cycle so the clothes don't feel and smell like they still have detergent in them. Best detergent I have found for stains and no pre soaking, Persil, just throw in the clothes, I use half of the recommended amount, warm, cold or hot water, didn't matter, stains come out, great stuff, worth the extra cost, and if you only use half, does not cost that much.
I have been filling up my washer more with the garden hose. I got tired of clumped up detergent being left on sheets and stuff due to the low water level. I don't think I am doing any harm to the washer, I hope not anyway lol. It still drains normally and I like feeling like my stuff is actually clean.
I bought the tablets of that at my local Dollar General and it worked great with my clothes. I work for a well known maker of plastic cups and it cut the odor out just as well as Arm & Hammer plus Oxi Clean.
For coffee stains or even mildew stains I guess practically any stain you can pour on some Clorox and a little of the laundry soap whichever one you use and some baking soda and then use a scrub brush like the one with the handle in the kitchen the bristles on the end just scrub it and the stain will come right out then worship that's for on whites and on colored clothes use the laundry soap and baking soda and scrub it with the bristle brush works great
however it is very harsh. I can't even use free and clear Tide without breaking into hives. I use Arm & Hammer 4 in 1 tabs for my work dark clothes to get the stink out, and All with Oxi for my whites and other laundry.
@@TheJamesOPhillips I use the Ariel baby variant. Not sure if it's available in other countries though. It cleans really well and is great for sensitive skin. I love it.
I used to buy liquid detergent for longest time and then I was shopping walmart one day & saw Foca, a mexican powder detergent. $4 and change. bought it and it works perfectly, I only use 1/2 cup per load and it gets my clothes perfectly clean. one bag of it has lasted me over a year I will never buy detergent with water in it again
I use dr bonners soap & white vinegar. If stain i pretreat with dawn dish soap, hydrogen peroxide & baking soda which works on blood, wine, yellow armpit stains
I use the Member's Mark Ultimate Clean Power Pacs. When I have spots or stains, I set the pod against the stain and roll the item so that the detergent is released into the stain.
There is only one laundry detergent that actually is good for all fabrics. It is very good but is also very expensive. It is Persil in powder form from Germany. This is very good stuff. However, now that I have commented, will they destroy this one too?
