Zote White Laundry Bar Soap, Hand & Machine Wash, All Ages, Gentle & Long-Lasting, Laundry Detergent, Bar Cleanser with Sodium Tallowate, 14.1 oz

This soap is utterly FANTASTIC! I used it on my stained white pair of expensive sneakers! AMAZING results with little to no effort in scrubbing! I just used a scrub brush and water with this soap...within a minute or so, I noticed an immediate whitening! There were NO fumes or harsh chemicals either! I scrubbed with no gloves on, too!! Non irritating! My shoes look brand new! I also used on my dingy white shirts- they became " new again"! Im SOLD on this product for sure! Give it a try on your laundry or other material items - you will NOT be disappointed!

The washer had broken down and while waiting for the delivery of a new washing machine i needed laundry detergent that would be gentle on my skin as i hand washed clothing. Found this Zote laundry bar soap at Walmart and upon first use was surprised it did not irritate my skin as i washed my delicate garments. I also noticed my garments looked and felt cleaner, even softer without using laundry softener. Light stains came out of delicate whites easily with handwashing. The reason for this could also be that scrubbing each garment individually gets clothing cleaner than tossing a bunch of clothes in a washing machine. Noticeable too, was the dirt that came out of heavier cotton clothing. Clothing colors seemed brighter after drying. The soap will turn your wash water milky white. You will see the milky color turn dirty as you wash your clothes. On a cautionary note some clothing (color red, blue, purple, yellow) will bleed even with gentle handwashing. I too, found this product to be of better quality than that of an equal competitors product and comparably priced as well.
