Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did two washes so far and they did the job, the clothes were clean. When I looked into the washer, there was a good amount of suds. After the clothes dried, there was no scent of any kind.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sounds great…and for those of us with senior animals who throw up and pee on their blankies??? Did it work on the animal blankets too? Leslie p.s. it’s funny, I have a neighbor from Bali and I was asking her about them. She didn’t know what they were called, but vaguely recalled her grandmother using them. She said the kids switched to soap as soon as they could get it. For them, it was easier and newer.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 So far, so good! They seem to work well in my low water washer. I don't notice a lot of suds, but that's not unusual because of the nature of the way the washer works. Clothes smell "clean" without a soapy smell, if that makes sense. I am, however, the subject of endless teasing from my husband and sons, who call them The Rocks, lol. I can live with that. ;-)Cyndi In a message dated 10/15/2007 10:25:40 P.M.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I didn't get to the dogs blankets yet. I don't have those problems yet with the dogs blankets, but they still smell "doggy." As it were, lol. I'll keep you posted. That's funny how your neighbor remembers getting rid of them as soon as possible. And here we are so excited tog et them back, lol.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 LOL, I think I'll tell them that they are also used for soup, just to see their faces. They'll probably think I'm serious, lol. I sure hope so! Serve them right. ;-)Cyndi In a message dated 10/16/2007 11:53:54 A.M.

They seem to work aok thought I didn't actually bury my head in them and take a big whiff after washing. There has also been alot of eye rolling here by my family too. I had to sit them down and show them the little muslin bag and how you have to take that out of the pile of wet clothes before putting into the dryer or putting the clothes outside on the deck railing to dry. I've found the bag a few times on the floor between the upstairs laundry room and the backdoor as well as in the dryer. It's gonna take awhile to get them trained.lol sluggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 When I first brought home Seventh Generation laundry detergent, my family thought I was crazy, but they got used to using it. Even my skeptical husband uses it willingly. I'm not sure they'll get used to the soap nuts as easily, lol, but they'll get onboard eventually. Cyndi In a message dated 10/16/2007 3:51:59 P.M.
