Nellie's Laundry Soda - Concentrated Laundry Detergent Powder - 100 Load - Gentle on Skin and Environment - Fragrance-Free

Nellie's is a new brand to me. Honestly, I'm not overly concerned about toxins or keeping things "natural", for me it's if something works. Our household includes people and pets, and we all like clean laundry. Much to my amazement, this stuff has effectively replaced all of my other laundry soaps and boosters, leaving my laundry clean, refreshed, and softer than expected. I'm excited to keep using it.I saw it on a warehouse website and did a web search to learn more. We have hard water (well water) and a septic tank. None of us have skin issues except for dry skin from the well water. I was intrigued by all the positive reviews written about this product and how little of it was needed to achieve fresh, scent-free clean, so I bought this 50-load pack to try it out and my results were fantastic!My first load was a full load of soiled clothing from working outside and two bath towels. I used 2-3 tablespoons (scoop included) to get things clean. I washed it on the "super size" with 2 tablespoons using hot water. The t-shirts (white) were brighter, stains removed, and there was no scent, yet the laundry was refreshed and no hints of dirty, stinky, or unclean. The water had a slight layer of bubbles, but no suds to speak of. The water did get dark with dirty stuff though.The clothing dried with much less lint coming off of the load than it usually has, and everything was soft to the touch. Sort of fluffy in a way that made things like my old fleece jacket seem newer. (I know it sounds weird, but it's true!)The second load was a set of king-size sheets. This too was washed in hot water using two-tablespoons of this product. Again, the results were as before with the bonus of a few blood stains from a cut on my husband's arm being completely gone without pretreating them with any other product.The third load was smaller, a mixed load with one tablespoon (one scoop) of the product in cold water. It too cleaned the clothes as expected, and the load dried with a soft texture, little or no lint, and unscented freshness.My friend who has psoriasis is always looking for products that are unscented, and good for sensitive skin. I immediately let her know about Nellie's and I think she'll like it too.PROS:1. Super-small amount needed for clean laundry.2. Using it couldn't be easier. The powder dissolves quickly and completely in any temperature of water.3. Whites seem brighter after only one wash.4. Little or no suds.5. No feeling of residue on the laundry or inside the machine.6. Laundry is soft to the touch after washing and drying with this product.7. No laundry pre-treatment is needed for dirt and stains.8. Eco-friendly and won't harm your septic.9. Leaves laundry so soft, there is no need for additional softeners.CONS:1. It is more expensive than other brands.2. Packaging can get punctured and the product is small (like grains of sand) and could leak out).3. US buyers may experience higher prices due to tariffs as this is a product of Canada.If you want a high-quality product that gets your laundry clean without perfumes or dyes, is good for sensitive skin, is septic-friendly, removes dirt and stains without the need for a pre-treatment, and leaves your laundry feeling soft and looking refreshed, buy this stuff. It's worth the extra money.

I've been trying to find better, more natural options for cleaning and laundry for my Grandpa and I. I came across Nelly's Laundry Soda purely by chance during one of my late night Amazon deep dives for stuff I didn't know I wanted. I really liked the Tin and bought it only for that reason, fully expecting the laundry soda to be a dud that I'd toss out after a few tries. I grossly underestimated the cleaning power of this stuff. It's amazing cleaning power in such a small scoop has tackled the toughest of grime and wins every time. My Grandpa doesn't bathe often, he prefers not to and has lived that way for a few decades, at least. His pillow case was a great test, I didn't presoak or pretreat. I just used a single scoop on an eco warm normal setting. Included are before, after (still wet), and after (dry). What a difference! My prior soap required pretreat and soak to get it this clean. I highly recommend Nelly's Laundry Soda, it works great and doesn't have all the bulky plastic packaging or chemicals.

Love this stuff! I’ve used other natural powder detergent brands and this is my favorite. Yes, it’s a little messy inside of the box sometimes when it is delivered, but it’s a fine powder so I get it. I open it outside or in the garage and pour it into my glass canister that holds it, and it’s no big deal. I purchased my own scoop on Amazon which holds 2 tbsp, and I use a full scoop on large loads, and I ALWAYS pour it directly into the drum onto the clothes and it always dissolves. I would never pour it into the liquid dispenser and of course it wouldn’t fully dissolve and would leave white residue. My clothes and towels always come out smelling clean and they feel soft as well. Will continue purchasing!

Really great product. I had some doubts but was willing to give it a try. I am especially surprised at the results when washing towels. Hard to believe one tablespoon of soda can do the job but it it does!

No issues with the laundry soda and how it works - it works really well and I like that it’s got so few ingredients. But, the can is really hard to open and you have to literally dig around to find the scoop (or use your own scoop until you use enough to find the scoop they provide you). I won’t close the can all the way because I don't want to struggle to open it.

This works really well and I like that it has so few ingredients. Usually we use one scoop, sometimes two scoops for extra dirty large loads.

Does the job- and the environmentally friendly tin is s huge llus

Best Laundry soap on the market. Great value. I have stopped using Tide and only use this soap. The cost saving is enormous. One small scoop and the clothes come out clean. two scoops if the load is large or very dirty. I have told family members about this soap and now they all use it.
