I am writing this post on the heels of my last update to tell you about Laundry detergent.
You probably don't know this about me but I have handled the family's laundry since I was a preteen (still hate folding it though). So I was pretty excited to be asked by Bzzagent to talk about Tide purclean. They sent me five one-load packets to try out, and I excitedly obliged.
What it is: Tide's latest step towards a more sustainable way to wash your clothes without compromising on clean. It has also earned a USDA biobased certification for Proctor & Gamble's focus on renewable energy and production at a zero manufacturing waste to landfill factory (Energy to run the factory is made up of steam and wind power).
I immediately carried on with life as usual and let the hamper pile up, until my next day off. Holding the packet in my hand I thought this surely couldn't be a full load, but there it was written on the packet. Once I cut open the packet, I smelled a very pretty lavender scent. I will admit, I've had trouble with strong scents in the past but once my first load of light colours was dryer ready the smell was light and lingering. Soap also remained in a little tuft on the edge of my washing machine door (I use an energy efficient front loader) which meant that little sachet could handle a much bigger load. A little indeed went a long way.
Next load in were my darks. I had so many pieces to wash including some thick sweaters (hello winter!), several pairs of jeans, and the last minute addition of my ultra plush bathrobe (coffee spills!). Nothing looked faded and everything smelled fresh for the next week. Again, a small packet was all I needed for everything. Some of the sweaters I haven't worn yet still smell like the detergent (washed all this in early November).
I ended purchasing the bottle and can't wait to get through the rest of the detergent I've got now.
