Foca Biodegradable Laundry Detergent, 70.54 Oz (Pack of 48)

Foca has a good price/value correlation. It cleans clothes and doesn't leave a perfume smell. i also add it to a mop bucket to make extra suds and loosen dirt on the floors from kids and dogs. Only negative would be if you have greasy, grimey work clothes I would get a heavy-duty detergent. I also use an ice cream bucket to hold the bag. it keeps the Foca from spilling. Good luck!

As with any powdered soap, there is the slight inconvenience of pre- mixing with a bit of hot or warm water to dissolve prior to adding to machine, however, it is well worth it. I really like the fresh, clean smell and very affordable. Powdered laundry soap retains it's "cleaning power" longer than liquids (more stability of ingredients, some science-y thing). I do recommend, if possible, the 30 minute pre-soak (as per " For best results" printed on bag). Bonus feature... I use it to clean all sorts of things due to its grit and sudsy quality. However, if you have sensitive or very dry hands,, which I do, wear rubber gloves. I also have sensitive skin but have never had any issues with this as it pertains to laundry. All around, my favorite soap for many things!
