Reviews
"Love this product. Smells great. Clothes clean. Wish this one came in galloon size."
It makes my husband's clothes
"It makes my husband's clothes smell so good he asks me to use it for every wash and complains if I use anything else! " What happened to that good smelling stuff?" He loves that the great smell lasts and I appreciate not having to use dangerous waxy crystals anymore!!! I worry about chemicals in our laundry. Plus he used to have an allergic itch to other products and now he doesn't have that with Laundress products!"
Cleans exceptionally well
"The Activewear detergent is the only detergent that removes teenage boy smell. It doesn't mask the odor. The clothes smell clean for days without the use of fabric softener. It's worth every penny."
