Better Life Natural Concentrated Laundry DetergeJuniper Grapefruit, 64 loads

We are enjoying using this laundry detergent. It’s very economical and we are on a subscription service.

Favorite laundry soap. The scented is lovely and soft, not over powering. Getting harder to find.

Honestly I love how long lasting this is, I had stopped buying it from Amazon and was buying it at my supermarket until they stopped supplying it, so I'm back to buying this on Amazon, no other brands like it... I tried another I thought was good and was swarmed by bugs at work.. came to realize this detergent repels bugs somehow very strongly for me. Since switching back to it, even with the hot temperatures in summer right now, the bugs stay away and I love it, For what its worth I got the Lavender one , I didn't notice if there's other scents, but the Lavender one repels insects for me, As for cleaning its actually very strong even with such a little cap, and if you use too much it causes issues since it needs to be rinsed thoroughly, so half a cup isn't just recommended, its kind of mandatory... which means it lasts exactly as long as it says on the container, Other brands I had to use more just to get them to clean, and it caused bacteria overgrowth from left over unrinsed detergent, This one has no issues, so thumbs up from me.

i use this because of its EWG rating. It works fine. Some stains come off, some don't. But it DOES NOT stink like some have said ... after all tumeric is tough for any detergent to take off, and those that leave your clothes stain less, also leave them with a load of toxins,... having said that, this is PRICEY. i got a MUCH better price point from other vendors, so even though I'm prime , i will get this from the other vendor. so yeah..

No strong smell. Cleans great. Not too thick to pour. Large heavy bottle.

The reason I bought this laundry detergent was because it was one of the very few detergents that was not only rated A on EWG's cleaning database (database that rates products based on how healthy the ingredients are for humans and environments), but it was one of the best rated A products because literally all the ingredients were rated A and B (unlike some of the A rated products that still had very minimal amounts of C and D rated ingredients). Does a great job cleaning our clothes. No bad smells. Great consistency, a little goes a long way. Good value for being one of the safest ingredient detergents on the market, the few other ones that were rated just as good, were more expensive.

Overall this is an OK detergent, but it fails to clean the dirtiest of clothes. My search of a natural / safer laundry detergent has not finished. If you want more natural biodegradable detergents (and you feel better to not be tested on animals), I suggest trying this to see if works for you. For me it works best for colored clothes, lightly soiled (just normal wear). This detergent keeps colors vibrant, darks dark and works well on delicate clothing. But I don't find it helps dissolving dirt and stains, especially the most difficult one; my kitchen towels and cleaning rags are left stained, although they look bright. I have used this detergent with same results in both cold and hot water. I tried using more for dirtier clothes, didn't help. Using the recommended quantity will still help to do more loads and not waste detergent. I use it on my standard top loader; at first (when the water pours) it does a lot of suds, but during the wash cycle there is barely any foam. The lavender grapefruit scent is OK, but it doesn't linger after drying; I do prefer my clothes not to smell of laundry detergent, so for me this is not an issue. I'm not keen on lavender, but the grapefruit scent helps the scent being more pleasant (but it doesn't matter since it doesn't linger). I have sensitive skin, this didn't caused any irritation. After I stop using this laundry detergent I also started noticing more static on my clothes; so I supposed it helped a lot with keeping static off my clothes.

UPDATE 10/24: I am so disappointed that Better Life has apparently stopped making the unscented version of this detergent! And yet they're still selling the Lavender Grapefruit detergent. How hard can it be to just NOT add the scent?? It's very hard to find liquid laundry detergents that are unscented and don't contain harmful chemicals. I'm really not looking forward to spending hours and hours trying to find another. This one was perfect! Please bring it back!!! I looked high and low for a laundry detergent that wasn't filled with harmful chemical cleaning agents and mystery fragrances, and I was so happy when I found Better Life. This is a truly unscented laundry detergent, and all the ingredients are pretty gentle and hypoallergenic, especially as compared to mainstream store brands. I've been using Better Life for about a year now, and I haven't had any bad reactions. The detergent seems to wash any unpleasant smells out of my dirty clothes but doesn't add a "fresh, clean" scent because it's fragrance-free, which is fine with me. (They have scented versions if you prefer that.) I know it does its job because I've watched the sudsy water draining out of my washing machine after the wash cycle. I hope Better Life never stops making this excellent unscented natural detergent!
