Re: Well It is Official: Seventh Generation Has an Odor that Mildly Bothers Me

[Guest guest]

I bet if you washed in a cup of baking soda, you wouldn't need the

detergent at all. It makes the water so soft, the water itself gets

more dirt out. I have a friend who worked for Procter and Gamble,

whichis headquartered here, and he said that water does 96% of the

cleaning and detergent is aiming to get the rest, and that is PLAIN

water, not softened water or water w baking soda in it. See how a load

of wash comes out with just baking soda and see if you really need

detergent.

This detergent has the slightly sweet smell. It's lovely. Whole

Foods and Earth Fare don't carry it anymore. Guess those big guys

decided to get rid of the little guy's detergent because then everyone

would buy it. http://countrysave.com/enviro.php

" Our premium laundry detergent is completely biodegradable. The powder

formula provides a safe, gentle wash without the use of dyes,

fragrance, phosphates, enzymes, optical brightners or harsh chemicals,

without sacrificing superior cleaning performance. It is often

recommended for those with sensitive skin problems and for baby

clothes. Country Save is formulated to clean clothes effectively while

being safe for the environment and future generations.

When you take the top off you can smell a touch of outdoors... kind of

like the smell of freshly cut lawn but not too strong. After being the

nay-sayers of scent for so many years, it is actually kind of

refreshing to have some new products in the house that people have

been asking about for years! "

What does " completely natural " mean?
