Pros
Recyclable Cardboard packaging. Easy to use.
Cons
Hard to tell if it works or not. We usually also use a laundry disinfectant like Sard or Canestan, as well have lots of pets and pet laundry. I didn't notice any difference to our previous detergent.
It's hard to get. Supply is unreliable unless you order online.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
