    Makes machine smells funky, itches.

    Pros

    Eco claims

    Cons

    Whites get dingy, doesn't remove collar and cuff grime or makeup stains, and it makes my pristine machine REEK of funk in just one wash. Perfume makes my sensitive skin itch, even with extra rinses.

    Recommend it?

    No, this product has too many drawbacks.
