Good performer, reasonably priced
Pros
I have used this product for at least 2 years and I was initially attracted by the economy of it. You only need one scoop, so 20 washes per pack; avg 32c per wash. Also performs well.
Cons
Disappointed to read about environmental impact. Washing dose is small but might have to rethink.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
