I have gone through 7 bottles of this product and have not seen any oily stains on my clothes, it should be noted that I have a lot of dark clothing so the stains would be noticeable. The product has a pleasant smell and does not irritate my skin. The bottles are nice and compact and are recyclable. I find that with my BOSCH AXXIS washer I only need 2/3 of the amount, therefore I can stretch the bottle out to about 35 loads.

I really like this product. I used to use wash nuts before but this product seems to get the clothes much cleaner, brighter and they smell great.

I have tried soap nuts with great success, so when I found this product I thought it would be the perfect balance between the natural cleaning power of soap nuts with the convenience of liquid detergent. Unfortunately, I found that after using the product, some of my clothing items were left with oily stains (spots like if you left lip balm in the wash). I thought maybe I used too much, so gave it a second try, re-read the instructions on the bottle and even added an additional rinse to the wash cycle (as well as let the soap completely dilute in water) and was left with the same damaging results. Additionally, I found that the clothes were not as clean and although it wasn't as irritating to the skin as normal store detergents, it was not as effective in easing troubled skin as the pure form of soap nuts were. If you are looking for a natural alternative to detergents, I'd recommend Maggie's Soap Nuts over this product any day. I had to throw away the entire bottle (less 2 washes) and immediately ordered more soap nuts.

I like it much better than the grocery store "free&clear" stuff. You don't need a second rinse to remove detergent residues from your clothes. Smells great, feels great right out of the washer.
