Earthwise Laundry Powder
Pros
I've been using this for many years and had no problems and have found no reason to change, however I do treat blood and olive oil stains before putting in the wash. We were on a septic tank and ran the waste water from the machine onto a garden border without any damage to the plants, (the ferns loved it) Before that I used Dynamo and found Earthwise no better, no worse.
