Meet what I thought would be the new love of my life.

4.19 for 75 ounces. Great price, no?

It does come in a giant plastic bottle. I am guessing it will last me about 21/2 months? A load a day? So that is 5 bottles a year. It is recyclable #2 so this alone it isn’t a deal breaker.

Cleaning? To quote a very wise woman, “You Betcha!” I have to tell you…I was pathetically jittery opening my machine after the first run. (The fact that I have butterflies over a new green cleaner shows that my life has taken some decidedly dull turns.) I was quite pleased with the shine and lack of powder caked on everything. Although…I did notice a bleachy smell which caught me off guard. Not a bleach user; bothers my sniffer. Not to mention it is a wee bit…I don’t know…toxic. Ran a load the next day…same thing….joy at the clean…confused by the smell. Finally by the third load I decided to use my super sleuth detective skills and investigate the bleachy smell. Because I am a crack detective I was able to decipher the cryptic code on the bottle…”contains chlorine bleach.” Huh…that doesn’t seem so green. I have once again been totally green washed!  Not feeling like the shiniest coin in the fountain today.  But then again…I wash with green cleaners…how shiny can I be?
