Arm & Hammer powder laundry detergent, crisp clean, 18 lb pail

There are 2 of us in family, and we don’t own any pets! But… I wash 3 to 4 times weekly… bedding, his and her clothes, bath towels, kitchen towels, etc. SEPARATELY. I don’t cross contaminate my laundry😄. I use liquid detergent A&H 80% of the time. Otherwise, I use A&H laundry powder. I love A&H powder because : Does not aggravate or irritate our skin or allergies; works well (we don’t have dirty, grimy, construction worker clothes stains)😀 it DOES stand up to ALL Free and Clear, and Tide laundry detergent (if necessary, I spot treat with Fels Naptha laundry detergent bar); there is no perfume scent or noticeable detergent smell; I DON’T pour the powder as freely as I pour the liquid; and YES, THE POWDER IS “HE” MANUFACTURED APPROVED. I do take time to mix my powder with water to dissolve the powder when laundering black color clothing, and I always use cold water 💦 wash and rinse. I haven’t had any problems with A&H. I bought this A&H laundry pail August 2024! The pail is almost empty and time for an Amazon reorder. By the way it’s a couple $ increase…but this detergent is still on the top of my “washing powder” list 😊❤️

Really lasts me a while. Smells amazing! Cleans amazing. Really good price!

Love, I got this for myself, I just wanted a good quality detergent. It smells good and it feel good on my skin, no itchiness. Works great and removes all stains (if it’s a tough stain, soaking it with some water before washing it works).

I like buying things in bulk and this was worth it. The Crisp Clean scent is subtle, not overwhelming, and the powder cleans well. Liquid detergents have much stronger fragrance.

I don't understand all the hype over the liquid laundry detergents, when this version seems neater and longer lasting and easier to store. It works great for me, and it's easy to add borox and or washing soda if I feel I really need to. My washing machine is broken, so I wash my clothes by soaking them overnight and then rinsing them in the sink. The overnight soak takes care of the excess bubbles which are hard to rinse out --I don't know how it works, but the overnight soak eliminates the excess bubbles. But also, you can know that this detergent is super active, because after you've added it and water to the bucket or whatever of your laundry, and you come back a little later ... the soaking water will be significantly warm, due to the fact that the detergent is having an exothermic reaction when combined with water. Didn't want to recycle the bucket, so I ended up using it to soak laundry, but then afterwards, I ended up using it to store my loads of excess glass jars. The bucket is really wonderful for that, just the right size, and stackable. I'm very happy with this detergent. I might still try the popular liquid one, but I have a feeling that I will go back to this one because it seems more functional overall.

I have purchased this quite a few times from this particular seller due to needing something in bulk, that was cost effective and good quality that gets our clothes clean and fresh. It worked well for our family until the price started to go up. The asking cost is no longer worth it for purchase. It seems like once you start buying from a particular seller they up the price for the same product. I have found it elsewhere for a cheaper price.

Edited 1-1/26 I’ve found out why it clumps up! Do not put the powder on top of your clothes. Put the powder in your machine before your clothes, and it won’t clump up at all. I’ve been using this for a long time now, and it’s still fantastic. I do still use Tide on my kids’ school uniforms and our dress clothes, but I use this on everything else. I don’t use any liquid fabric softener with the exception of a little vinegar every so often. I do use occasional dryer sheets when it’s dry outside, but since I live on the Gulf Coast I can get away with dryer balls most of the year. Once in a while I still soak my whites in Oxi White Revive, but this stuff is fantastic. Highly recommend ****** I have to admit that I was not expecting much because I haven’t used powdered detergent in quite a few decades, but I’ll honestly never use anything else. I have a super capacity machine. It’s literally one of the largest machines on the market because I have a large family. I only use a quarter to a third of the cup for a full load, and I can honestly say this is the cleanest my laundry has ever been. My towels are fluffy again. My whites are literally super white, and it’s very easy to use. I don’t have to worry about leakage because it’s powder instead of liquid, and the smell is very fresh and pleasant. This detergent possibly works better than anything else I’ve used thus far. The only drawback that I must mention is that sometimes it does sort of crystallize and clump up at the rim of my machine right under where the clothes hit, but that’s easily remedied by simply wiping the machine with a Clorox wipe. This is easily worth more than I paid. It’s really nice to be able to find a laundry detergent that works well and is affordable for someone with a large family. I bought this at the beginning of December, and it is now mid-January. I have barely made a dent in the bucket, and with a household filled with 7 people that’s saying something. Highly recommend.

This lasted very well, & the cup on the inside allows the proper amount to be dispersed! It alleviates spills, the lid keeps the product fresh, which allows your clothes to smell just as fresh after a good wash, the weight is heavy which I love because it shows you aren’t being skimped for what you pay for. The lid protects your investment & the price point can’t be beat, I love the look, & I highly recommend & have used Arm & Hammer products, toothpaste, body-wash, body powder & regular baking soda for years & won’t stop now! Thanks Arm & Hammer for leading the way!!!

It's Laundry is always clean with a fresh scent and I use less then other products.

The product was too expensive for the amount provided. Although I received a partial refund which was quite courteous the product should be priced much less as I had purchased similar products from other sellers that were more in weight and less expensive.
