Fab Laundry Powder
Pros
I have used it for years. It is not owned by Unilever. It states it is biodegradable which is good for septic tank systems. It states to dissolve in water, which I do every time. It washes everything clean. I do add Handy Andy to the heavy duty wash, but no laundry product cleans mens work clothes spotless. I use less than recommended with good results. The price is good.
Cons
None
