Laundry Soda | Fragrance-Free Powder Laundry Detergent | 200 Loads | Septic-Safe, HE Compatible & Fragrance-Free - Concentrated Formula, Made in Canada

I purchased the 113.6 oz container of Nellie’s Laundry Soda for our family of five. Several of us have sensitive skin, eczema, and reactions to perfumes and dyes, so finding a detergent that’s both gentle and effective has been a challenge. I’ve tried a number of “natural” or fragrance-free detergents in the past, but many of them struggled with stains—especially with three kids who play sports and come home with heavily soiled clothes. Based on the reviews, I decided to give Nellie’s a try and was honestly surprised by how well it performs. After several weeks of use, our laundry consistently comes out clean, soft, and noticeably brighter, with no added scent. There’s no perfume smell at all—just that clean, fresh feeling—which has made a big difference for our household. For tougher odors, I pair it with vinegar in the wash as a deodorizer, and that combination has been a game changer. Another major plus is the cost. The large container lasts a long time, and when you break it down per load, it’s less than half the cost of some other sensitive-skin detergents we’ve used. Pros: • Truly fragrance-free and gentle on sensitive skin • Cleans well and handles stains better than expected • Leaves clothes soft and looking bright • Very cost-effective for larger households Cons: • Powder form may take a little getting used to if you’re used to liquid detergents • Plastic packaging isn't the most eco-friendly • Fine powder can spill if you’re not careful when scooping Overall, this has become our go-to detergent. I’d highly recommend it to families dealing with skin sensitivities who still need something that can handle real-world messes.

I purchased the laundry detergent, the lavender dryer balls, and the dishwasher cubes. I have been very pleased with each one of them. The laundry detergent is mild and no harsh smell at all. I like how my clothes feel so clean and using the lavender ball in the dryer is a mild pleasing smell. It says good for 50 loads so I’m keeping track to see if that is so. The dishwasher cubes are amazing too!!

I love this laundry soap! It cleans better than Tide and no awful petroleum products. I only use 2 small scoops for a large load, which took some getting used to but it does the job. It even got out a set in stain with no problem. Clothes smell fresh and clean with no artificial perfume smell. I am so glad I switched. Definitely worth it!

I really love the performance of this Nellie's Laundry Soda. As a concentrated powder, a little goes a long way, and I appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and gentle on my family's skin. It dissolves well even in cold water and leaves my clothes feeling truly clean without any weird residue or "crunchiness." The only real downside is the price. While it is a high-quality, eco-friendly option, it is definitely more expensive than your standard grocery store brands. I try to save it for our bed linens and baby towels to make the pouch last longer. Pros: Cleans effectively with very little product. No harsh chemicals or fake fragrances. Dissolves completely in HE machines. Cons: High price point compared to competitors. If you’re looking for a cleaner, "greener" laundry routine and don't mind the premium cost, this is a fantastic choice. If you’re on a strict budget, you might want to save this for your most sensitive loads.

The detergent itself is fine as long as there's no stains, such as deodarant or foods that stain. Youll need to heavily pretreat them prior to washing. I ususally have to use 2 heaping scoops on medium to large loads, stinky outdoor smelling clothes or towels. I love that the powder is environmentally friendly, however, the packaging is not. While there is a nice reusable and adorably designed metal tin (which is also eco friendly) then the company goes and puts a plastic scoop inside. Why? It makes no sense at all. I have seen one of the other major clean companies puts metal scoops in theirs, and I hope that Nellie's will switch. It says on amazon that 50k + people have bought this in the past month, so there's another 50k PLASTIC scoops that will end up in a landfill because it's not like we're all going to keep collecting these plastic scoops. Perhaps if enough of us leave feedback on this by emailing the company, maybe they'll swap!

Nellie's is a new brand to me. Honestly, I'm not overly concerned about toxins or keeping things "natural", for me it's if something works. Our household includes people and pets, and we all like clean laundry. Much to my amazement, this stuff has effectively replaced all of my other laundry soaps and boosters, leaving my laundry clean, refreshed, and softer than expected. I'm excited to keep using it. I saw it on a warehouse website and did a web search to learn more. We have hard water (well water) and a septic tank. None of us have skin issues except for dry skin from the well water. I was intrigued by all the positive reviews written about this product and how little of it was needed to achieve fresh, scent-free clean, so I bought this 50-load pack to try it out and my results were fantastic! My first load was a full load of soiled clothing from working outside and two bath towels. I used 2-3 tablespoons (scoop included) to get things clean. I washed it on the "super size" with 2 tablespoons using hot water. The t-shirts (white) were brighter, stains removed, and there was no scent, yet the laundry was refreshed and no hints of dirty, stinky, or unclean. The water had a slight layer of bubbles, but no suds to speak of. The water did get dark with dirty stuff though. The clothing dried with much less lint coming off of the load than it usually has, and everything was soft to the touch. Sort of fluffy in a way that made things like my old fleece jacket seem newer. (I know it sounds weird, but it's true!) The second load was a set of king-size sheets. This too was washed in hot water using two-tablespoons of this product. Again, the results were as before with the bonus of a few blood stains from a cut on my husband's arm being completely gone without pretreating them with any other product. The third load was smaller, a mixed load with one tablespoon (one scoop) of the product in cold water. It too cleaned the clothes as expected, and the load dried with a soft texture, little or no lint, and unscented freshness. My friend who has psoriasis is always looking for products that are unscented, and good for sensitive skin. I immediately let her know about Nellie's and I think she'll like it too. PROS: 1. Super-small amount needed for clean laundry. 2. Using it couldn't be easier. The powder dissolves quickly and completely in any temperature of water. 3. Whites seem brighter after only one wash. 4. Little or no suds. 5. No feeling of residue on the laundry or inside the machine. 6. Laundry is soft to the touch after washing and drying with this product. 7. No laundry pre-treatment is needed for dirt and stains. 8. Eco-friendly and won't harm your septic. 9. Leaves laundry so soft, there is no need for additional softeners. CONS: 1. It is more expensive than other brands. 2. Packaging can get punctured and the product is small (like grains of sand) and could leak out). 3. US buyers may experience higher prices due to tariffs as this is a product of Canada. If you want a high-quality product that gets your laundry clean without perfumes or dyes, is good for sensitive skin, is septic-friendly, removes dirt and stains without the need for a pre-treatment, and leaves your laundry feeling soft and looking refreshed, buy this stuff. It's worth the extra money.

I have been using Nellie's since 2019 when I was given it as a gift. I was given the large size and since then I have only used Nellie's. One small scoop is all that it takes to clean an entire load and it actually works! This stuff lasts forever.. seriously.. I always know that I can trust that Nellie's can take on whatever clothing challenge I throw at it! It gets out any stain I throw at it and I push it to the test! This stuff has been great and is a go to product I swear by.

No suds to deal with! I have always had to baby sit the washer when using tide, gain, etc. no matter how little detergent I used. I have always had to scoop out suds galore or run multiple rinse cycles. With Nellies my husbands filthy work pants come clean. So I am saving detergent, water, and electricity and i no longer have to baby sit the washer!

This is a wonderful product and I just couldn't do without it. When I use other ECO detergents, yes they are very good, but when compared to this one, I, personally notice a big difference. I fully recommend it.

This is a very good detergent, it does not have a sharp chemical smell, it copes well with its tasks, but, unfortunately, it is not cheap.

Got it for newborn laundry. Zero smell and soft. Works well

海外には珍しく、粉末ですが冷水でも溶けます。 乾燥後のキシキシ感もありません。 汚れ落ちは良い方だと思います。

Love love love! I won't go back ... this product is perfect! Tiny amount cleans an entire load ..even with no fragrance it comes out so fresh! Will be looking to purchase the large 1100 tub from Costco in the very near future!
