Nellie's is a new brand to me. Honestly, I'm not overly concerned about toxins or keeping things "natural", for me it's if something works. Our household includes people and pets, and we all like clean laundry. Much to my amazement, this stuff has effectively replaced all of my other laundry soaps and boosters, leaving my laundry clean, refreshed, and softer than expected. I'm excited to keep using it.I saw it on a warehouse website and did a web search to learn more. We have hard water (well water) and a septic tank. None of us have skin issues except for dry skin from the well water. I was intrigued by all the positive reviews written about this product and how little of it was needed to achieve fresh, scent-free clean, so I bought this 50-load pack to try it out and my results were fantastic!My first load was a full load of soiled clothing from working outside and two bath towels. I used 2-3 tablespoons (scoop included) to get things clean. I washed it on the "super size" with 2 tablespoons using hot water. The t-shirts (white) were brighter, stains removed, and there was no scent, yet the laundry was refreshed and no hints of dirty, stinky, or unclean. The water had a slight layer of bubbles, but no suds to speak of. The water did get dark with dirty stuff though.The clothing dried with much less lint coming off of the load than it usually has, and everything was soft to the touch. Sort of fluffy in a way that made things like my old fleece jacket seem newer. (I know it sounds weird, but it's true!)The second load was a set of king-size sheets. This too was washed in hot water using two-tablespoons of this product. Again, the results were as before with the bonus of a few blood stains from a cut on my husband's arm being completely gone without pretreating them with any other product.The third load was smaller, a mixed load with one tablespoon (one scoop) of the product in cold water. It too cleaned the clothes as expected, and the load dried with a soft texture, little or no lint, and unscented freshness.My friend who has psoriasis is always looking for products that are unscented, and good for sensitive skin. I immediately let her know about Nellie's and I think she'll like it too.PROS:1. Super-small amount needed for clean laundry.2. Using it couldn't be easier. The powder dissolves quickly and completely in any temperature of water.3. Whites seem brighter after only one wash.4. Little or no suds.5. No feeling of residue on the laundry or inside the machine.6. Laundry is soft to the touch after washing and drying with this product.7. No laundry pre-treatment is needed for dirt and stains.8. Eco-friendly and won't harm your septic.9. Leaves laundry so soft, there is no need for additional softeners.CONS:1. It is more expensive than other brands.2. Packaging can get punctured and the product is small (like grains of sand) and could leak out).3. US buyers may experience higher prices due to tariffs as this is a product of Canada.If you want a high-quality product that gets your laundry clean without perfumes or dyes, is good for sensitive skin, is septic-friendly, removes dirt and stains without the need for a pre-treatment, and leaves your laundry feeling soft and looking refreshed, buy this stuff. It's worth the extra money.

have been using nellies laundry soap for over 15 years. started due to climate, waste concerns. i find this laundry cleaning soap to be highly satisfactory in cleaning, no residue, extremely economical. the handy supplied scoop is more than enough to do a normal load; large heavy loads come cleaner with no residue in the wet load after spinning because nellies dissolves completely and has no petroleum based ingredients that leave a coating on fabric. clothes are cleaner brighter and don't fade. Nellies is economical because no water included in product and uses less product per load and last longer than what you find in grocery aisles. 5 stars!!!

I have been using Nellies laundry soda for awhile and it is amazing! I’m still amazed how clean it gets my all my stuff clean. It does such an amazing job on my dogs bed and accessories! I saw hack for the cleaning the coach with Nellies laundry soda and oh my gosh it did an amazing job!

I’ve been using it for 8 years because I am allergic to other laundry soap. It does good job without leaving any odor.

Honestly, I love the smell and it seems to work nicely, so I'm happy with it. I like having the tin too, HOWEVER it was shipped without anything securing the lid so about a quarter of the powder had managed to leak out during transit. We scooped it back into the tin but it shouldn't have spilled out in the first place and it's avoidable so ideally they would fix that and have the lids secured in some way before shipping..

This truly cleans better than the washing machine detergents over the last 20 years. Plus you only need a smaller amount of the concentrated powder.

I love how clean this makes my clothes and how long it lasts. 200 loads last me 6 months.

I have always liked this product.It works better than liquid brand products.
