Q: why is there polyester in your detergent?
submitted by JCraver - 3 years ago
A: the polyester in our laundry detergent is an engineered polymer, that binds to dirt in the washing machine and is readily biodegradable in the environment. it does not contribute to the micro-plastics pollution issue about which many folks worry. polymers are pretty common and can be both synthetic and naturally occurring. while it’s the same name as the polyester in many modern fabrics, polyester fabric is a pretty different than our polyester in our laundry detergent.

This is truly fragrance free (great of you have allergies), it leaves no odors on my clothes. It cleans very well with a small amount. Although the previous version that was even more concentrated (8x?)that came with a pump was even better. It achieved the same results with less wasted plastic, specially since the bottle/pump was refillable. Hope they bring it back.

As a no-smell, sensitive skin option, you might as well go with an option that gives you more bang for its buck. Method is great for their smells (I love the orange disinfectant) but for a no-smell, there’s honestly no point. Cleans as well as the others and the container is still PLASTIC.

We use this for hand washing our masks. Cleans well, doesn't fade the fabric I use (100% cotton) and leaves no scent which is imperative for face masks.

This used to be my go to. It wasn’t available for a while but now it’s back. Runny, not thick and concentrated like to used to be. Not scent lingers (I had the sage not clear). Does not clean as well. Why? Bring back the old formula or my search will have to start again for a new detergent.
Horrible
1 out of 5 stars
kc - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This new bottle is poorly designed and does not pour into the measuring cup provided without spilling, no matter how you angle it or how careful you are. To make matters worse, no amount of rinsing gets it off my hands completely. They remain sticky and my skin feels...weird. I tried pouring it into my old pump bottle (for which Method no longer offers a refill bag), and then pumping it into the cup to see how many pumps are required. Nine. It requires 9 pumps to measure up to the line on the cup provided. The original pump bottle concentrate used 2 - 4. That means, more than twice what the pump used, plus my little experiment resulted in the detergent getting all over the pump bottle as well as the detergent bottle and my hands, and my washer. I intend to throw both away, and just select a different brand. SO disappointed. Method laundry detergent concentrate used to be a good product, but the new owners have ruined it. I wasted my money, as well as my time and effort.

The detergent I was using made a family member break out in a rash, so I switched to this and haven't had any problems. There's no scent, and it does a great job. Clothes and bedding come out clean and fresh.
