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.
