BioKleen Free & Clear Laundry Powder

Biokleen is a great laundry detergent option -- it's packaged in recycled paper cardboard.

All Biokleen products are free of chlorine, optical brighteners, and phosphates. The surfactants used in Biokleen products are vegetable-based -- they do NOT use Sodium Laurel or Sodium Laureth Sulfate surfactants (SLS/SLES). SLS/SLES often act as skin irritants for many people and are generally a good thing to avoid.

Even better - all their products do not use any animal ingredients or animal testing.

To get the most out of this soap, I recommend putting it in the machine first, running the water a few minutes and then swirling it around with your hand or a laundry item to dissolve the soap better. It does have a tendency to clump and streak clothing if put on top of the clothing.

This soap smells really great -- it is tied right up there with lavender as my favorite laundry detergent scent.

The downside is that it costs a bit more per wash than other powdered soaps.

It works well for me but i'm a 25 year old office jockey. I'd like to hear about it from a parent or anyone with deep cleaning needs.

I find that bio-kleen tends to make green cleaners that actually *clean* & this is no exception. I prefer powders since I hate the waste & cost of paying for water in liquid laundry soaps. I also like that there's a minimum of plastic in this items packaging.
The citrus version of this product has a nice but not overpowering citrus scent and some gentle bleaching action.
One box lasts a long time.
Good stuff!

Seems to work just fine. I like that it's so concentrated and that it comes in a cardboard box vs. plastic bottle.
