Does anyone have any strong feelings good or bad about this brand of products? I've just found a good price and I'm thinking of switching our laundry and dishwasher but I've never used it and the good price involves buying cases of eight at once.

Thanks!

Susan

Have not used the laundry soap in years. I stopped using it because I could find something locally and did not have to pay shipping. I initially bought a more expensive single bottle at the health food store to make sure I liked it.
Recently I have started using the dishwasher detergent. Works fine for us and I appreciate the lack of scent.
BTW, I have started using Charlie's Soap for laundry www.charliesoap.com. I am on my second bag now. I use a vegetable based soap rather than a detergent and this powder works in my front loader (I dissolve it in an old mayonaise container , it is part of my routine now), is unscented and comes in a paper bag which is much easier to dispose of than a plastic bottle (even though we recycle plastic). For tougher stains I use a scrub brush and castile or Fels soap, shampooh or an oxygen stain remover.

I just started using it for the dishwasher and I really like it. My old det had been leaving spots, but this rinses clean.

I use the bathroom cleaners and the window cleaner. So far I am satisfied. The smell doesn't bother me as much as the former brands I have used.

Love the dishwasher soap, and bathroom and all purpose cleaners! It's all I use along with Mrs. Meyers. I don't use the laundry soap because in my area I can't get it unscented, and that is a big thing for our family.

I use the laundry and surface cleaners. I stopped using the dishwasher detergent b/c I wasn't getting good results. The started carrying the bottles at my local grocery, so no special trips to make. Bonus!
