Q: why is there polyester in your detergent?
submitted by JCraver - 5 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.

CJC - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
Not exaggerating when I say this laundry detergent changed my life. It's been a really safe option as someone with allergies, asthma, and chemical sensitivities- AND it effectively cleaned items contaminated by a household ringworm outbreak. It's enzymatic ingredients are no joke, they work to break down stubborn microbes, discolorations, and every day dirt, while avoiding most of the ingredients that can be problematic for folks with certain health considerations. I've tried some other (fancier & pricier) "clean"/hypoallergenic/unscented detergents and always come back to this one, by far my favorite.

dean - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I liked the packaging, ingredients, and scent-free qualities and with clothes with minimal odors it did a great job. However, if you have pets with strong odors it doesn’t do a great job. Thought it would be good because it seemed more “natural” than other companies but there are better options on the market.

Ana - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
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.
