copy-of-laundryliquid_3l_0preview Alright – the has been completed! I washed a load of my clothes with Detergent and a load of my clothes with a popular orange-bottle’d Mountain Fresh scented brand detergent.  Results?

The other brand – My clothes are clean! No surprise there. I’ve used this brand all my life, so why expect a surprise? My clothes smell like… mountains? I’ve never smelled mountains, but I’m pretty sure they don’t smell like whatever this is… Now, it’s not bad, it’s just clearly a smell.

Detergent – My clothes are clean! And they smell — like clothes. This might sound odd, but clothes smelling like clothes means that they don’t smell like chemicals — a good thing for a detergent that markets itself as a natural product.

Ingredients: Water, Fatty Polyglycoside (from cornstarch and palm kernel oil), Pure Castile Soap (from soya and canola), Coco-Bentaine (from plant source), Sodium Citrate (salt of citric acid), Cellulose Collides (from cotton and wood), Potassium Sorbate ( grade preservatives)

The detergent doesn’t foam up as much as your standard orange-bottle’d detergent which might fool you into thinking that it’s not very effective (why is it that suds = effective for me? hrmm). But I can assure you, it worked just fine! And, while I do appreciate that it is natural, I’m not quite at the “dark green” level yet — so the big selling point for me? Bulk! It’s available from Topia Greenstop in bulk! You can bring in your own container and fill it up. I’m going to be just like my grandmother; I’ll have countless containers and boxes with masking tape on them labeled ‘ detergent’ and ’sugar’ and ‘dried peas’ in my house. I can just see it now.

So, looking for a great, natural alternative to the strong-smelling, -filled detergent you currently use? Try this stuff out! … and be sure to let me know what you think.
