Arm and Hammer Essentials Laundry Detergent has put the spring back in my clothes. During the craze of flower scented laundry detergent, my clothes smelled like roses, lavender, orange mandarin and so on. Each time a new scent came out, I tried it. Since there was a new scent just about each month, my clothes were a mixture of millions of flowering and powdery scents. Time had come though that the mixture of scents had to stop and time to leave the scents for the garden and delectable food. Frantically searching for something minus a scent brought me to “Arm and Hammer Essentials” Laundry Detergent.
Since, Arm and Hammer has been best known for Baking Soda solutions to reduce the unwanted smells in refrigerators, closets and helps in reducing stains on clothes, this Essentials Detergent was a no-brainer. Although Arm and Hammer does offer two scented laundry detergents in Orchard Bloom and Seaside Breeze, “Arm and Hammer Essentials” creates a fresh, clean and pure smell. By using this detergent, I was able to bring back my favorite perfume bottles that would clash with the scents used in other laundry detergent bottles available. Arm and Hammer is so effective, mothers have suggested the use of it for baby pamper diapers. The liquid form contains only natural enzymes and brighteners however do not contain harmful dyes. It is the perfect blend for mothers to use on the whole families laundry, instead of purchasing multiple liquids. In addition, it is the perfect blend to take out those pesky pet smells from pet blankets, clothes and other pet apparel without causing irritations to the pet as some scented detergents do.
For an added benefit, Arm and Hammer Essentials Laundry Detergent comes in environmentally safe plastic bottles. These bottles are designed with the least amount of plastic to help reduce the amount of plastic that is in the junkyard. The small amount of plastic that is used in the bottles HDPE #2 recyclable plastic which is recyclable in most areas. Double check in your area before recycling though as it might be available in your area.
“Arm and Hammer Essentials” Laundry Detergent may be used either as a color-safe bleach alternative product for pre-treatment however is not recommended be used as a pre-soak. For use as a pre-treatment, just pour the detergent directly onto the stained or soiled area, rub gently and then add the item immediately and directly into the washer. In addition, it works in cold, warm or hot cycles. Using the cold cycle is effective and better for the environment. Each bottle costs around the same as most detergents, sometimes less and has around 32 cycles for each bottle.
For my family, we will stick to this scent-free laundry detergent instead of following the crowd. Although it would be nice to have a larger bottle available, we would not change anything about this detergent as it meets are needs completely. We have been using it for a while now and are satisfied like never before – everyone should try it.
