Laundry Detergent

As I posted on here a while back,  I had made my own laundry detergent.  I never actually did a follow up review on it.

At first I thought it was working fine but for those of you who know me, know I'm pretty stubborn and since I thought I did a good thing by making it, I wanted it to work.  Mine never seemed to turn out right to me, as it kept separating and before I used it each time, I would shake it up before putting it in the washer but the more and more I read online apparently most people's do separate.  It's just kind of gross and slimy though (which I have also learned since, that the homemade liquid can coat your washing drum and lead to problems later since most of the soaps used have animal fat in them).  Then I would forget to pretreat all Noah's shirts with spots and began ruining quite a few of them, then our whites really started to get dingy but just thought I was over-thinking / analyzing things.  I continued to use it until....

 I started selling Norwex and I decided to try their laundry detergent because I knew it was very economical for a HE washer and I heard great things about it.  Wow.. I love it.  Not only can I do well over 400 loads with my one little bag of detergent but it's also unscented, filler free, highly concentrated and biodegradable.  The product is highly water soluble and low sudsing making it perfect for HE machines.

Below is a picture of a demo another consultant did comparing Norwex detergent with one of the national leading brands. The same amount of detergent to water ratio was used in both  ( I did this demo for myself as well and got the same results but can't get my picture on here for some reason)  The one on the left Norwex detergent and the right big store brand.  As you can see Norwex is pretty clear and the right one is very murky and you can't see through it all.  Why is  this.....

Fillers.... Fillers are added to laundry detergent to make it suds more to make us think it cleans better, bulk up the product and give consumers a sense of better value, and to leave a nasty residue on every  item of clothing  it touches.  Fillers are what leave the residue on our clothing, thus giving us static cling and then causing consumers to need products like dryer sheets and  fabric softeners (the worst products you can have in your home of all cleaning products) .  With Norwex detergent there isn't any residue left behind, helping our clothes last longer and our whites stay whiter and without the need for dryer sheets or softener.

There are a few factors needed to determine how much of the Norwex detergent you need such as  type of machine- top or front, and hard or soft water.  If you are interested to know more, let me know!
