• "I used this product to hand wash some blouses and it really works."
• "I tested this is on a really dirty microfiber cloth that had lot of ink stains... 99% of the old ink stains gone."
• "For the longest time I could never get the yellow stains out of my silk pillowcases... barely had to soak it for all the stains to come out."

• "The makeup stained weren't completely lifted."

• "Used this to hand wash bras. Smell is pleasant but doesn’t work as well as advertised. Has to soak for way longer than it says to."
• "I wanted to love this product, but it does not work..I bought it for my camper since I don’t have a washing machine here..I soaked my clothes & rubbed them gently after 30 minutes I hung them to dry in the sun..there was still a b.o. odour in my clothes & the stains did not come out."

Scent

Pros:

• "The fig scent smells so amazing and the fact that I don't have to wash the detergent out of my clothes after soaking makes laundry so easy."
• "The scentless actually smells like nothing, so it's perfect if you are sensitive to smells."
• "It has a nice fragrance."
• "Gave it a light jasmine scent."
• "The yuzu scent is lovely but very light; I don't feel like I'm wearing a perfumed bra."
• "I love the smell of the pineapple. It smells fresh, clean and a little sweet."
• "The Fig scent is light and lovely."

Cons:

• "Since using this I have had severe burning and itching when wearing clothes washed in this detergent."
• "I recently purchased the Celebration scent and honestly, it’s just awful. It left my clothes smelling like cinnamon-scented wet dog."
• "Doesn't remotely smell like mint (as it was sold) and is so heavily perfumed that it filled the apartment with its unpleasant scent."
• "Though it is a pleasant smell, it is quite strong. It fills the room where laundry is hang, and it lingers."
• "This product was supposed to have the scent of 'wild mint': instead, it had a rotten, off-putting chemical odor."
• "Some of my cotton clothes had a rank moldy odor after they dried and no, they didn't smell before being washed."
• "The smell is a bit artificial."

Value

Pros:

• "A container this size lasts me over a year."
• "It comes in a small bottle, but I have been using it daily for the past couple of weeks and don't notice much gone. A little goes a long way."
• "Although you only get 12 oz. it often can last months per bottle since so little is used when hand-washing."
• "While Soak seems expensive at first, One Teaspoon/gallon of water means this bottle should last for a year or more for me."
• "I bought this 3 years ago and still have plenty, so yes - a little goes a long way, and it lasts a long time."
• "It may seem expensive, but a little goes a LONG way."
• "It's really a good value."

Cons:

• "This is 3 oz mini, travel size, bottle for $15.99; not a 12 oz regular size bottle for $18 - $20 - not a good value ... I returned it."
• "It's pricey, but a nice indulgence."
• "UPDATE Aug 9, 2022. The price of this product has gone up almost 25% since 2020!"
• "You have to at least double it --- which makes it more expensive."
• "It's a little pricey for the bottle size."
• "Also the bottles at 12 oz are just too small to be economical."
• "The price I paid for this is $25. It's not worth $25."

Convenience

Pros:

• "Perfect for washing bras and other delicates, and also useful for travel."
• "The no-rinse formula makes hand-washing so easy!"
• "Only takes a teaspoon for a large bowl of water."
• "This stuff makes washing by hand incredibly easy. 20 mins of soaking gets everything clean and I honestly don’t rinse it out."
• "Great for travel. We just finished a two week trip to Croatia and I was able to limit my clothing to a couple changes since I could wash/dry every day!"
• "I love that you don't have to rinse this out of the clothes...makes handwashing even easier!"
• "It's very easy to use. Just one spoonful in a gallon of water. No rinsing needed."

Cons:

• "Rinsing is quick and easy so no rinse just isn’t a big sell for me."
• "EVERY bottle I've purchased, every single one, has had a little leak that comes from the cap."
• "The packaging just opens all the time, especially on flights with the change in aircraft pressure."
• "The leakage is insane though. You can't use it without soap oozing down the sides and covering the cap."
• "A lot of the product leaked in the box as shown and the bottle was sticky."
• "The cap arrived cracked all down the side unfortunately. It wasn't packed well enough."
• "I have contacted seller a couple of times and not received a replacement lid for this bottle."
