Q: I don’t see on the website how many loads in a bottle

submitted by Miller318 - 2 years ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out to us. As of the 2021 relaunch, both 9 Elements Laundry Detergent and 9 Elements Purifying Softener no long state the number of loads per bottle. The reason for this is is because these figures are approximate and can vary based on how much product is used each time. To get the most out of the bottle, make sure to follow the dosing directions. For regular loads, fill to just below bar 2 on the cap. For larger loads, fill to the 3rd bar or more. We hope this was helpful, but we encourage you to give us a call at 877-267-0514 if you have any other questions.

Great eco detergent and delicate lovely scent

I love this laundry detergent. It washes very well even at cold temperature, leaves the laundry soft even without softner and has a delicate subtle scent. Also, a littel goeas a long way! I have been buying eco-friendly detergents for many years and thid is by far my favorite. I like the subtle scent which is sitll very delicate but also better than nothing. I was so tired of the only lavander scent that every other eco brand offers. I like the fact that it has vinegar because it really protects the colors from fading. I will stick to it for sure! I wish they made a eco-friendly softner too for extra scent!

Have been using this for over a year and like it.

The scent to this is very subtle. Washes clothes well and doesn’t leave any residue or weird smells on clothes… I have used ecos in the past and had times where my clothes would have a very off putting smell after a wash. Have been using this for over a year and like it.

Great non toxic, good smelling option

This is one of the least toxic laundry detergents out there that isn’t fragrance free (cause I like my clothes to still smell good!) and doesn’t cost $30. the lemon scent is fantastic. Will continue buying!

My Go-To Natural Laundry Detergent

I’ve been using the 9 Elements Citrus Laundry Detergent, and it has completely won me over. It’s one of those rare laundry detergents that combines clean ingredients, real cleaning power, and a genuinely pleasant scent — without any of the harsh chemicals you usually have to tolerate. What first drew me in was the ingredient list. It’s made with just nine ingredients and uses vinegar as a key cleaning agent, which immediately made me feel better about what I’m putting on my family’s clothes. No dyes, no heavy perfumes, and no unnecessary fillers — just a thoughtfully formulated detergent that gets the job done. When it comes to performance, this detergent truly delivers. It tackles everyday dirt, sweat, and odors with ease, and my clothes consistently come out looking fresh and clean. Even activewear and kids’ clothes (which see a lot of messes in our house) come out smelling great and feeling soft. The citrus scent is a standout. It’s light, fresh, and naturally uplifting without being overpowering or artificial. It leaves laundry smelling clean and crisp — not overly perfumed — which I really appreciate. Another big plus is how gentle it is. I have sensitive skin, and this detergent hasn’t caused any irritation or dryness at all. That peace of mind alone makes it worth it to me. I also love that a little goes a long way. You don’t need much per load, so one bottle lasts longer than expected, making it both economical and convenient. Overall, the 9 Elements Citrus Laundry Detergent hits that sweet spot of clean ingredients, strong cleaning performance, and a subtle, refreshing scent. It’s now a staple in my laundry routine, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a more natural detergent that still cleans like a powerhouse.

It is not full it looks used .would want them to make it right
1 reply from 9 Elements team - 1 month ago
We're so sorry to hear you had this experience with our 9 Elements Citrus Scent Liquid Laundry Detergent. We understand it must upsetting to have underfilled and looking used. We have strict quality controls and it’s unusual for a package to leave our plant with less than the proper amount of product in it. So, each of our detergent bottles contains at least the number of ounces stated on the pack, and our bottles are designed and filled to allow for proper pouring. The bottle may not appear to be full as space is left for product to help with pouring as without some “air space” at the top, pouring the liquid would be very messy, likely causing spilling over the pour spout. Please feel free to contact us at 877-267-0514 so we can learn more about this situation. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at 9 Elements.

Leaks in Delivery

We switched to this laundry detergent as part of a movement to decrease chemicals in the house. We use vinegar as our household cleaner and already add vinegar to our towels during laundering, so this was an easy choice. We don’t normally shop at target but this is the only place we can consistently find this laundry detergent. I haven’t tried the other scents but we love this one. Any and all stand need to be treated prior to washing as this isn’t tough enough to get them out. So while we love that the laundry detergent uses less chemicals, we do have to do a lot more pretreating with Dawn or Oxiclean, which kind of defeats the purpose, but luckily it’s only occasionally and not every load. My biggest complaint is that when I order them to be shipped to my home, they are always leaking inside the package. Luckily the laundry detergent bottle itself is also wrapped in a plastic bag and then put in the shipping box, but the first time I ordered it leaked through the plastic bag and all into the box. The second time I ordered the leaking was contained to the bag thank goodness because I had other items in that order that would have been ruined. Target does not give you the option to return or complain about this through the app and they only offer help if you bring the bottle in box in to the store, but if I had a store within an hour radius, I wouldn’t have to order them for shipping.

Favorite Detergent. I'm in love.

My favorite detergent. I love that they use vinegar in their detergent, vinegar is a great fabric softener. My clothes always smell so good! love the citrus scent so much. And the price is pretty fair. I just wish they'd bring back their laundry rinse.
