Mrs Meyers Clean Day Softener Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "Just adding a few tablespoons of water to the bottle and shaking well took care of that right away."
• "It's very concentrated. You only use about a tablespoon for a normal size load."
• "It is thicker than the brand I used to use, but it's not clumpy."
• "It has just enough of a scent and safe, non-toxic ingredients."
• "I like the natural plant-based ingredients, but to be honest, if this product weren't better at removing detergent residue, wrinkles, and other biproducts of hard water, I probably wouldn't have continued buying it after trying it once."
• "This fabric softener is 100 times better than the generic ones. It really works and I will never go back to anything else."
• "A bit pricey BUT a tiny amount goes a long way!"

Cons:

• "Something is wrong with these two bottles that I ordered. The softener is congealed and clumpy."
• "It is so thick that you have to be very careful how to dispense it."
• "The softener is congealed and clumpy and will not disperse in my HE washer."
• "This product is very thick and sludgy."
• "I always find a large amount left over in my fabric softener dispenser because it’s too thick and does not release it all."
• "The product is very thick, much thicker than usual."
• "It is rather thick, especially for front loading machine."

Eco-Friendliness and Cruelty-Free

Pros:

• "I really like that this product is cruelty free."
• "I love buying Mrs. Meyers products because they are eco-friendly, animal friendly."
• "It's hard to find natural products that work well, but Mrs. Meyers laundry products work so well they surpass regular grocery store brands."
• "I tried it because it's not tested on animals, and it softens as well or better than the brand I used to use that does animal testing."

• "DON'T BUY IT IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO SCENTS AND CHEMICALS!"
• "The fragrance is supposed to be natural oils but when you look at ingredients on the bottle it says Perfume and not natural oil fragrance."
