Q: Does this product contain 1,4 dioxane- a known carcinogen? Are there any other carcinogens in this product? Which ingredients may cause harm to humans, waterways, marine life?

submitted by Kalikara - 3 years ago

  • A: I checked the ingredient list on the website the Woolite brand rep provided. I'm not a chemical expert, but I don't see dioxane listed anywhere. I assume that means it's not an ingredient in this detergent.

    Horrible packing

    I dislike the way it was sent to me . It exploded in the box, so badly that the postman had to leave it in one of their boxes, so it would not mess up my driveway. Please refund . I will come in and buy it .

    NEW REFORMULATION IS BAD!

    WARNING - REFORMULATION This was my go-to for many years but they recently reformulated this with a stronger scent. I’m sensitive to scents and the original formulation was so mild that it didn’t make a difference, but now that they’ve changed it I am breaking out in rashes and my nose has been runny. Also, the detergent itself seems to be worse and leaves garments with stains and smells. DO NOT BUY!

    Disppointed Loyal Customer

    I ordered this product it was delivered damaged. The bottled was cracked and unusable condition leaking into the plastic bag and box. I requested a second replacement bottle be sent. The second replacement bottle arrived in worse unusable condition. I was denied a replacement or refund. This product is not useable in this condition. I was a loyal Target customer.

    My container was definitely not 100 oz. When I got home and picked it up from inside car, I knew right away it was too light. I just didn’t feel like going back. Next time if I buy again I will feel it when they put it in car.

    Target's poor delivery service.

    Nothing wrong with this item. It is Target's errors. This was coming from AZ location to me in a northern AZ area. Was shipped to New Mexico, then Kentucky. Still have not received after expected delivery date. They tell me I have to wait more days to report it lost even though their tracking clearly shows it is in Kentucky.
