Amira Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The title pretty much says it all. Dh is sensitive to fragrances and dyes and I always wash in cold water. I can only get a powder, not a liquid. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Charlie's Soap. Despite the name, it is detergent, not soap, and it's available in powder. Only one tablespoon per load, too, but works well. (I used cold water on clothes before moving here, now use warm because there's often too much chlorine in the water and warm prevents the fading for some reason. It always worked fine in cold water, though sometimes if the towels get an odor, I'll run them through on hot.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Seventh Generation, free of dyes and fragrance. Amazon has the powdered kind, I can't find it at our local stores, so I order it via subscribe and save from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it once a long time ago and it didn't dissolve very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use it in our front loader. It's worked well for us. I wash on cold. Maybe it depends on the machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have made it so it dissolves better now too. And I do think front loaders dissolve better that top loaders. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to do a load now, so I'll check to be sure it's washing on cold, not warm or something, and let you know how it goes. I'm pretty sure our machine is set to default to cold, but I'll double check. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Charlie's soap...1 T. goes a long way, so if you can stock up, you'd be able to stretch it. I know many cloth diapering moms who go a year or more between orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
