Dissolution

Pros:

  • "These pods dissolve completely regardless of the water temperature."
  • "It dissolves quickly in all temperatures of water (I fill the washer with water first), leaves no residue in the washer or on my clothes, and doesn't have a fragrance."
  • "These dissolve really quickly in my non-he top loading washer."
  • "This pods dissolve quickly I don’t get any residue on my clothes at all."
  • "The pod plastic package dissolves quickly in hot and cold water, so I never have to check before putting my clothes in the wash."
  • "Dissolves completely with no residue."
  • "The pod dissolves quickly and I did not find any residue or particles remaining on the clothes."

Cons:

  • "The pods only dissolve completely about 25% of the time now."
  • "I wash mostly in cold water, but this pod didn't dissolve."
  • "Simple issue, these don’t dissolve in cold water."
  • "These laundry pods were absolutely horrible!!! They literally don’t dissolve at all!"
  • "The last couple of loads I have done also did not dissolve the packet."
  • "The pods don't always completely dissolve in the washer."
  • "I wash with cold water and these consistently did not dissolve."

Scent

Pros:

  • "The lavender smell does not have that 'commercial' smell like so many others."
  • "The scent is nice. Not overwhelming but light."
  • "The scent is amazing. It's not too strong and an incredible smell. Light and beautiful."
  • "The lavender & vanilla scent has an effect in the air for me similar to when I diffuse lavender EO."
  • "Not only does this detergent perform really well, the Vetiver scent smells just like like a high end spa!"
  • "Amazing but not overpowering scent, like a smoky sweet light vanilla."
  • "The lavender smell is quite subtle which I appreciate."

Cons:

  • "The smell is repulsive to me. In addition and probably most objectively the pods break open easily and there is a whole lot of broken pods and loose detergent at the bottom of the bag."
  • "The SMELL IS FOUL. Smells like an old stuff from maybe centuries ago."
  • "I really wanted to like this, and all of the reviews seem great. I always use un scented detergents but my clothes smell like mildew after using this detergent."
  • "This time the scent after the clothes are washed and dried is too strong and too perfumey."
  • "Really don’t like this scent. Too strong even with just one pod."
  • "The most recent 132 count bag I received had no scent at all."
  • "Was expecting something with more of a lavender/vanilla balance. This is like a perfume bath. Throwing them out because the scent is way too strong."

Value

Pros:

  • "The 132 load (at the time I bought it) was a really good value compared to mainstream detergents."
  • "Eco-friendly, easy to use, effective and affordable."
  • "Great pods for people with pets and sensitivities to all kinds of perfumes and 'bad air.'"
  • "I love how easy these fragrance free laundry detergent pods are to use!"
  • "These pods are super easy, smell good and comes in a large pack so I’m not making a trip to the store every other week!"
  • "I get the auto ship every month which saves you money and a grocery store visit."
  • "I love that the small bag is so affordable to try before committing."

Cons:

  • "The smell is repulsive to me. In addition and probably most objectively the pods break open easily and there is a whole lot of broken pods and loose detergent at the bottom of the bag."
  • "However, half the pods were broken and I had to spoon the granules into the machine."
  • "Twice now I've received the laundry detergent with many damaged pods(say 20 of the 60)."
  • "I like the scent but the price is kinda expensive."
  • "At least 1/4 of the bag is powder (busted pods). Reached out to customer service three times and never received a response."
  • "I’ve been trying to find some thing that lessons the smell of my front loading washer... but it’s just too expensive to keep up."
  • "When the pods arrive in tact this product is great, however with Amazon it is hit and miss if the product arrives in tact."

Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "This stuff actually works."
  • "They break open quickly in the laundry water (hot or cold) and work great at getting clothes nice and clean."
  • "This detergent does its job and gets stains out and leaves your clothes clean."
  • "It really cleans and removes stains without all the chemicals."
  • "These things work and they make you clothes feel fresh and clean!"
  • "The clothes washed great and I noticed that this was more effective in removing grease and stain than the previous one I was using."
  • "It brightens like it says, it cleans great and gets rid of smells amazing."

Cons:

  • "Works so poorly I thought it may be a fluke."
  • "The pods didn't seem to effectively clean and my clothes didn't smell fresh at all."
  • "I really wanted to like this, and all of the reviews seem great. I always use un scented detergents but my clothes smell like mildew after using this detergent."
  • "I can't tell if I'm using it wrong or not (even though I followed instructions on the bag), but this product doesn't work."
  • "Disappointed. I love going 'green', especially with laundry products. I bought the whole 'shebang' from GrabGreen, and while I really like their products, I found that even after treating stains, and letting them sit at least overnight, a re-wash STILL didn't remove the stain."
  • "I’ve found that at least 4 pods are needed for a regular load or it doesn’t clean the laundry at all."
  • "This is an awful reformulation. It does not dissolve, it does not clean."
