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

Due to skin sensitivities I need fragrance free laundry detergent and due to my own preference I prefer a natural product. A laundry influencer mentioned Nellie's in passing and I'm so glad they did. I used it for the first time yesterday and I love how my laundry came out. One load was washed in hot water and one load was washed in cold water and there was no problem with the laundry soap dissolving in either. It's a fine powder so it dissolved quickly and rinsed away completely. There was absolutely no residue left on my clothes or bedding. It is fragrance free so my laundry smells super fresh and clean without fragrance. In fact everything was soft coming out of the wash. Nothing looks faded, my whites and colors look bright. And it was totally easy to use I just put 2 tablespoons (my loads were large) in the drum of the washer and let it go to work. And the metal tin is great (the lid is a little hard to get off but at least you don't have to worry about it flying off and your products spilling) , no cumbersome plastic jug to carry and now that I've tried it I can buy one of the larger vats of Nellies's and just refill this tin as needed. I could not be happier with this purchase.

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 love this detergent. I have used it for 4+ years. My clothes come clean. They smell clean without perfume!!!I admit, It doesn’t remove grease stains. But a drop or two of Dawn dish washing liquid applied directly to the spot - and my clothes are clean!!!This product is economical. I use one tablespoon of this dry detergent powder for a medium Size load. Dissolves well. I now buy it in a bag to refill the metal Nellie’s container that I bought 4 years ago.This is a terrific product!!’

Nellie's is awesome! This is a great product. There is no scent, it cleans exceptionally well. I was trying to transition away from the heavy plastic bottles into a more ecofriendly solution. I had tried the laundry sheets, but the quality was inconsistent at best. Things were never clean and had a greasy feel. I tried Nellie's and I have never looked back. This is my 5th purchase. I have gotten both the tins and the 200 load sizes. Tins can be a little hard to open, but not too badly. This soap really cleans the grease spots from my clothing, even without pretreating. I've now started exploring their other products.

Initially skeptical, I am mightily impressed by the way this powder works on clothes. I like that they come our fresh and soft and actually smell 'natural' rather than infused with a chemical odor thats supposed to be pleasant.I like that not much needs to be used for each was. The front-loading machine shows MUCH less residue after a wash too. Another win factor.But...... BUT.... the stupid tin this stuff comes packaged in is a complete PITA. Impossible to get open easily, it requires brute strength to lift the lid. Very VERY tight. Very VERY unnecessarily tight. So tight that in manouvering it I have spilled some powder onto the floor/countertop every single time. I should not need a lever to prise the lid off. No-one should! My wife couldn't open it because of weakness in her grip. The manufacturers have NOT thought about the elderly or disabled in designing the packaging. At ALL! Sure the tin looks pretty, but it's utterly impractical in everyday use. We ended up decanting all the contents into a screw lid jar.I will recommend this to anyone, albet with a strong caveat about the useless tin.
