Sophie, I have been using the Zum laundry detergent and Molly suds. I like them both, especially the Molly Suds for workout clothes. I was curious if you could do a laundry whitener comparison or do you have a favorite laundry whitener? Thanks for all the information! I started using Zum when you mentioned you were using it for Owen’s laundry.

Curious your thoughts on Nellie's Laundry Detergent Soda

[Tweetieb]

I love Zum Laundry soap. I love their fragrance and my clothes come out soft without fabric softener. They also have a Sweet Orange, Amber and I believe a Geranium fragrance as well.

Great video Sophie. Thank you for your research. I’m glad to see Molly Suds in your review. I just purchased that to try after a recommendation from a friends daughter. So far, I really like it.

Thanks for doing the testing for us!

Curious about the water temp you use when washing. I wash almost exclusively on the cold setting in our HE washer. How well do the powders dissolve?

I’ve tried some detergent sheets before just to save on space, and many of them didn’t perform well or didn’t dissolve well in cold water and left a bunch of stains on our clothes.

I’d be interested in one of the powders since I wash often and have smaller loads, but I’m concerned they will not dissolve well.

lavender is an endocrine disruptor, I would advice against lavender, tea tree oil or primrose scented detergents

Thank you for paying so much attention to fragrance, esp. the possible scent of "unscented." I also have not really enjoyed Dr. Bronner's (in my case, as shampoo) even though so many others do.

im new here. have u tried Nellies laundry detergent?

[nrgltwrkr]

Thank you! This was very informative! I would like you to test the various laundry detergent strips (Poesie, ClearLif, True Earth, Eco Friendly, etc) that are out there now. No plastic/reduced packaging, no water, so greener in that way. I would also like to see you soil strips of white sheets or white T-shirts in a bucket of muddy water all at the same time, and then launder each of them in each detergent per the directions, to truly test their cleaning power. Green is great, but does each detergent actually do a great job of getting the clothes clean, especially whites?

Lavender has a natural bacterial fighter. If you can handle the scent.

I only use Castile soap for my laundry and my clothes comes out clean. It's an awesome stain remover as well. I dilute it before using it and it's still potent. I don't use anything else.

[izzipyle]

Not me looking up reviews to find a different detergent bc Zum is so expensive only to find out that’s what’s recommended the most 💀

[parrothead]

The Zum makes a orange scent now. I just saw it while researching.

[lisafarmer]

I’d be interested to see what you think of dropps

[tinamoore]

Very helpful and informative. I use the whitening version Molly’s Sud’s for my white towels and clothes and it is amazing. I personally have switched to True Earth dryer sheets and I purchase one year at a time which reduces the cost. They work extremely well plus reduces plastic use and is environmentally friendly which is important to me.

[lisawaddington]

Hi Sophie! Have you ever tried making your own laundry detergent? I have been wanting to try, there are lots of recipes online.

[mandypratley]

Hi Sophie could you maybe try some of the newer laundry sheets. They save space and are supposed to be better for the environment.

[yloshaw]

H. Your not supposed to use oil in your dryer as it is a potential fire hazard

[Jloveus]

Thank you. Today, I bought Zum to trying it. Then, I watch this video and it is your favorite! I like the essence.

[lorimast]

Thanks for the information. My husband is allergic to lavender and im looking for a natural detergent.
