    Comfortable on my skin

    Pros

    Other laundry detergents make my skin itchy. Some are overly perfumed, with an annoying, unnecessary lingering smell. This powder doesn't smell and doesn't make me itchy. I haven't noticed that it does not clean well compared to others. It seems fine with sweat, blood, food stains, grass stains and mud.

    Cons

    No, it's all good.

    Recommend it?

    Yes, I recommend this product.
