Eco-friendly, dollar buddy, the product is Tandil 2xUltra Premium Liquid Laundry Detergent. The good thing about this product is-I have confidence in it. You’ve seen the directions on other concentrated liquid laundry detergents; fill to line 1 for small and lightly soiled loads, fill to line 2 for medium and moderately soiled loads, and fill…for large and heavily soiled loads, and every time you fill the detergent to the maximum recommended amount because you’re afraid your clothes won’t come clean. That was me in the past. With Tandil2xUltra I don’t have to worry about that. I’m off the “overfill, I don’t have the confidence” wagon. Here’s my rating on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the highest)
- Effectiveness–10
- Eco-consciousness–10
- Fragrance–7

With Tandil2xUltra, I use exactly what is called for-per the load being washed, and the clothes come out !clean! Tandil2xUltra is on a par with Tide. The label says so, and I agree. The whites are very white, and the colors are bright with no noticeable fading or dye loss. Tandil 2xUltra, cleans equally well, in cold, warm, and hot water. Clothes come out of the washer with a “fresh” fragrance. And, Tandil 2xUltra is no wimp, it’s tough on stains. Grease, soil, everyday grime, it breaks it up and removes it from clothes. For handwashing, no agitation is really needed. I just place the item in a soaking bin add my Tandil2xUltra and it does the work for me. This is an economy detergent only in price. Tandil2xUltra has the cleaning power of much higher priced detergents. So, to give you an idea of where Tandil2xUltra stands in my repertoire of the best laundry detergents I’ve used, well, I’ll give it to you from the top…
