Do you recommend this for daily use on i.e., towels, clothes, etc? Is this a regular clothes detergent albeit higher quality?

I wouldn't use it as my daily detergent, but I have when I'm in a pinch. It would be too expensive for me to use all the time, although I love the smell so much I wish I could! Last time my husband bought laundry soap for me, he bought the unscented, so I just added 4 or 5 drops of "forever" to each load to make my clothes smell good.

Although it is great for washing delicates and sweaters, it would be too expensive to use for daily use.

Molly, I only use this product for my workout wear, bras and panties. It is a higher quality detergent but developed for synthetics; therefore, I think it would be expensive to use for everyday laundry.

I love it for delicates I'm sure it could be used, but would be expensive to do regular laundry

It is more for hand wash items, and excellent on items with spandex or that type of material, usually in bathing suits and lingerie. I use the liquid in a washer, delicate cycle, and there is a powder, too, great for travel, called Forever New. Neiman Marcus used to recommend these exclusively in the lingerie dept. this stuff is great, and use as noted on pkg. don't need much.

I use it as face wash every morning. Be careful though it has a tendency to slightly bleach towels.

I don't know what HE detergent is. All I know is the liner I use this the more I like it. My late mother left me a linen tablecloth that has some stains I could never seen to get out. Although I continue to use the table cloth now after two washing a they have become lighter and some have completely gone away. The material is and feels so good no need for any softener very thing feels clean. I use dryer balls for the dryer also. I save money all around and I am happy with the results of my towels! Thank you!

I use it everywhere! I have several cloths I use to clean my house every week and I use it to wipe down everything in the kitchen after meals. I have separate cloths for the bathrooms for sinks, mirrors, showers, etc. They are great and no chemicals!!!

I use this (and only this) as my laundry detergent, I add baking soda as a booster. It's GREAT if you have sensitive skin (my grandsons do). It will not foam up like regular detergents do (don't add extra). if your laundry load is less than a full load, cut back on the washing soda. It doesn't leave any residue in your clothes like regular laundry detergent does.Hope this helps. I have been using this and only this for the past 4 years. No complaints!!!!!

I wrote to Downy at the contact email and just received this reply:"All of our laundry detergents have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with a properly functioning septic system. We know it's important for our consumers to be able to take care of their homes and the environment, too. For more information about cleaning products and septic systems, visit the American Cleaning Institute web site (search on "septic"). I hope this information helps."

I have used them to mark my children's clothing with them name when they visit their grandparents, and a few other items for what does where to assemble things such as couch covers, etc. They seem to hold up well with regular washing, but, not sure about detergents with bleach as I don't use them. The black ones seem to hold up much longer. My eldest Granddaughter made a design on one of ther t-shirts and colored it in with the Sharpies and the colors held up with washing OK. But, I would not recommend using it on silky or stretchy material.

I think the is the best detergent I have ever used. I live on a farm and my husband is a mechanic. Our laundry really tests the product, and it does a fabulous job with people, horse, and dog laundry. I don't know how to answer your question, but if you contacted Rockin Green, I know they will get right back to you. Good luck!

This does fine for general laundry, but is a bit too expensive for general laundry use. For grass, Era is best. For blood, Oxyclean. My new favorite for cloth diapers and laundry is biokleen sport laundry liquid lavender & eucalyptus scent. $11 for 128 loads. Found at Whole Foods

I have used both liquid and powder homemade laundry soap. We haven't had any problems at all, although we have only had the washer for a few months. I think if you have a low sudsing formula and use an appropriate amount, you would be fine (just like any other detergent.....you don't need much)

I'm a working, get dirty kinda guy, and do my own laundry. This stuff get my clothes clean, real clean, and I wash in warm water. But this is from a guy's point of view. By other standards [i.e. a woman's], maybe not super clean, maybe. But I'm thinking your hubby's views would be similar to mine, as would the guys he works around. This and the other Savvy Green products I've used are fantastic. They work, and seem to have a light impact on the environment, with minimum use of packaging, etc. If you folks at SG are reading this, good job!

I used it as a laundry booster, similar to borax. I also tried pre-soaking some stained clothing in a diluted solution. I think oxyclean works better for the latter. I haven't tried it as a sole detergent, so I can't comment on that. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have a big family and my kids are very rough on their clothes, so I always opted to use it as a secondary product.

I added it with my regular laundry detergent and it works great. I believe it says on the label to add with detergent. I hope this helps :)

It certainly seems to clean well -- i haven't had occasion to try it on say, grass stains or heavy grease, but my experience has been positive. I think it works better than some of the other eco-friendly detergents I have tried. That said, everyone's laundry is different, yes?

I have used laundry detergent but it does not rinse well. This product cleans better and rinses well. Also deodorizes very well.

I have just stopped using this laundry detergent because it is not getting my laundry clean. Something has changed, but I don't know what it is. All I can tell you is the last bottle I had worked very well and my laundry was clean and smelled fresh. With the new bottle, the clothes do not smell or look freshly washed, and simple stains are still in the clothes, no matter how much detergent I use. I can recommend Mrs. Meyers, if you want to stick with a "natural" laundry detergent. It is a bit more expensive, but it does work. Just an FYI, the Method dishwashing liquid seems to have the same problem--it is not cutting grease well, and it does not suds well. I am switching to Mrs. Meyers.

We use AllergenWash for all our laundry, bedding and clothing. It is a great product that is used BY ITSELF ALONE, no need to use another detergent with this product. When washing whites I use a bit of bleach if there is stains. The label says it is compatible with all laundry additives. We have used this product for several years, no other product compares.
