Laundry Detergent Powder with Phosphate - Deep Cleaning Washing Powder Detergent with Fresh Clean Scent, With Scoop for All Machines, Safe for All Fabrics, Greywater & Septic - 46 Ounce - Pack of 1

I think it's ridiculous that phosphates had to be removed from detergents. I'm not convinced the small amounts used for detergents that go through sewage treatment or through a septic system are the cause of algae bloom from stormwater runoff. I understand needing to remove phosphates from other processes such as agricultural uses that were in large quantities and could wash directly into streams. With that said, I live over a karst system and our water is very "hard" from all the minerals. The result of this is all our laundry gets dingy looking after several washes. Whites just don't look very white even with the use of bleach and colors look a little less vibrant. Over several years of trying to fix this problem I tried several different things. I tried every major type of detergent brand and type (powder, liquid, pods) along with laundry additives (Oxi, borax, baking soda). I tried varying amounts of detergents to make sure I wasn't using too much soap. I don't use liquid softeners so that wasn't the issue. I got a top load Speed Queen that uses several gallons of water in hopes that maybe lower water usage may have been responsible for not rinsing thoroughly. None of this really solved the problem. This detergent is the only thing that's really helped the problem. I think even my older laundry items have gotten less dingy after a few washes. The laundry comes out very clean and has a very pleasant but not overpowering smell. Highly recommend.

The product works great, however 4 stars due to this being the second time I've ordered the 46 ounce 2 pack and have only received 1 of the 2 packs. I think there might be an issue on the order fullfillment side in that they aren't correctly sending the 2 packs. Correcting this is difficult as Amazon seems to only offer you the option for a return, replacement, or refund. I just want the 2nd pack sent and I have to use the AI-based chat to explain that the order received is incorrect and incomplete and it's not the easiest process. Again though, great quality product.

Does a great job. Very high quality product, worth the extra money relative to the grocery store brands. I've been using it for years, and I'm totally satisfied. Recommended!

Didn’t remove any food stains

My husband sweats a lot! In fact he gets Botox shots in his hands, feet, and underarms at the dermatologist to help control it. However his workout clothes and other work clothes just were not getting clean. I researched and found this laundry powder because his clothes were still smelling musty after being laundered. This has really helped! I add this product to the wash and use it as a pre-wash, soak solution and it’s been a game changer. No more sweaty smell. His laundry is actually clean and odor free now.

Works great, no spots. Environmentalists go pee up a tree.

Only use this with Lemi-Shine the phosphate will clean your dishes and Lemi-Shine will prevent the residue and leave your washer sparkling clean. This combination is highly recommended and is the best dish washing method I have ever used.

This is, by far, the #1 best laundry detergent that you could ever purchase in the USA! It works INCREDIBLY WELL at getting your clothes clean — it makes your whites ACTUALLY WHITE AGAIN, and it makes your colors ACTUALLY BRIGHT AGAIN!! Also, this detergent smells FANTASTIC and it conveniently comes with a scooper too. The only real problem here is the same problem that comes with ALL of Bubble Bandit's products. The plastic ziploc bags that they use are terrible. I have purchased this product 4 times, and every single time, the ziploc bag that it ships in does not close properly. The ziploc mechanism on the bag doesn't work, so we had to put this bag into our OWN ziploc bag that does close properly. With their dishwashing powder, that bag just totally split apart, so we had to pour all of their dishwashing powder into our own ziploc bag. So while Bubble Bandit creates a great PRODUCT, they have serious issues with the BAGS that their products ship in. By the way, to explain why this laundry detergent works so well, PHOSPHATES are required to keep your dishes clean, your clothes clean, anything clean! But overzealous regulators in the USA have tried to prevent us from getting our hands on these glorious phosphates, even though they were in all cleaning products just a few decades ago! THANK GOD FOR BUBBLE BANDIT to bring back phosphates to our cleaning detergents! THANK YOU, BUBBLE BANDIT!
