Find Best Price at Amazon"I had a few bottles of essential oils knocking around in my dresser drawer that were about to pass their prime. It was the perfect time to order my very own wool dryer balls and finish off my almost expired bottles of essential oils. First impressions: No amount of essential oil was going to mask the distinct odor of sheep; I was heartbroken. I took a chance and threw them in the washing machine - best idea ever (wish it was mine)! My other concern was whether or not my darks would be covered in wool lint; a couple of reviews had me worried. I just dried my first load of darks and I'm thrilled to say there is no wool lint on any of my very-emo-daughter's clothing. Breathe it in... *eyes roll back and lids flutter* ...aahhhhh. Best wishes to anyone who does their family's laundry! I thought the main idea of wool balls was to cut down drying time and ditch the dryer sheets containing chemicals. Tennis balls are made from rubber and a thin layer of wool (sometimes nylon). Occasionally, I toss them in the washing machine to keep our darks lint free."
"This is my first set of wool dryer balls; they replaced a set of cracking plastic balls that were shedding their nubbins. I never use dryer sheets, so I can't compare the wool balls to those. However, versus plastic dryer balls, they triumph in every category that matters to me: - Reduced drying time/increased fluffing. The wool balls are larger (in terms of solid surface area) and denser than any plastic ball I've used, which seemingly causes them to be more efficiently distributed while tumbling, resulting in loads that dry faster and more evenly."
"My dryer balls are unraveling."

"We use Tide Pods every wash."
"I just throw a couple of these into my laundry basket before I do laundry and I don't have to worry about carrying around a bottle of detergent."
"I have found that I used way more detergent than with the pods."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I like to use it in my carpet cleaner as well. I would suppose that it's not really recommended by your carpet cleaner manufacturer, they want you to buy their expensive liquid carpet cleaner, but I just make my own concoction using Oxi Clean and never have any trouble with my machine and my carpet come really clean."
"I'll start by saying I was turned on to pure oxygenated bleach about a year ago. After being introduced to oxygenated bleach and finding that this is the main ingredient in OxiClean I decided to purchase the product. The overall price is cheaper and this stuff works just as well as the pure oxygenated bleach. I use about half a cup per load for the tough stains and let it sit for about an hour before running the full cycle. A couple of squirts, wait a minute then blot or scrub depending on the stain."
"Nothing works better than this original OxiClean (or Biz) except the White Reviver OxiClean, if you can find it."
"I love oxiclean because it makes whites AND colors nicely bright without bleach."
"LARGE size is much more convenient than several small sizes."
"I usually buy it at Costco because the price is substantially lower, but when I can't make it to Costco, I just purchase it here."
"I've noticed that when I wash clothes with this added to the wash, the clothes are less likely to mildew if I don't get them into the dryer immediately."
"Oxi Clean not only took off stains from his recently stained clothes but I also put it in his clothes that I had already tried to wash and given up on and it took every single stain out!"

"The cleaning action is okay but, dang, these pods are ruined by the addition of Febreeze... YUCK!"
"I prefer the liquid laundry detergent, but this was cheaper on Amazon."
"Only thing is there is not many pods for the price, two pods for a medium size wash and you will burn through them quick but for me it is worth it."
"I could get tide at Costco for half the price but i rather spend the money on gain!"

"I started using this years ago when I had a need for something to get some really strong smells out of my laundry."
"Maybe my washers an extreme case but the improvement on my smelly clothes was marginal."
"Works quite well, even on my stinky gym clothes that sit over night in the hamper."
"I am giving a lower rating because this product will stain your clothes!"
"Great for dog blankets and stinky towels and sheets. Recommended to use with the washer on sterilize setting for really stinky stuff. Like dog bedding."
"These make my laundry smell awesome!"
"Here it is in a nutshell....I play tennis in Louisiana and sweat rivers during the summer... All the clothing I use must be of the stay dry or dri fit material which can trap bacteria from sweat.....The normal fabric enhancers or scented detergents will not penetrate that type of material.....The Febreze is no exception, unfortunately....It is highly concentrated and does smell good and is probably fine for normal kinds of cotton or unsaturated clothes, but isn't sufficient for what I need."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was skeptical when I received this based on past experience with fabric shavers, and you never know what you going to end up with regardless of how good and bad the reviews. I tried it first on a sweater with a large, thick weave, and it performed perfectly removing every ball that I could see including dangling threads about an inch long."
"My husband & I purchased a new sofa this summer, and to my surprise, after a few months one of the soda cushions started pilling-- badly."

Find Best Price at Amazon"These are so nice to have have on hand - - I don’t like grocery shopping in the first place, hate the long drive, the parking lot parking madness and hazardous parking lot walking. I don’t like lugging these heavy items into and out of my shopping cart back out on to the check-out thing, into my car, out of my car, in to the house etc etc etc."
"I want to review this product specifically for cloth diaper users and I hope it is helpful for them. I started cloth diapering my baby from 3 weeks old, and for the first couple of months, I used a natural detergent (Method specifically) and I thought it worked fine."
"I like this brand of Tide (especially because we need HE for our washer) but sometimes if we use too much the smell of the Tide is overwhelming (not a bad problem but for some people it may be bothersome)."
"You know a laundry detergent is awesome when your husband comments on how good his clothes smell and you overhear your daughter's teenage friends saying how much they love the smell of your laundry room!"
"I appreciate the competitive price but I mostly love the size, not so heavy that I can't pull it off the shelf and great size to store in the small laundry room that we have."
"If I stray away, I’ll be returning to Tide Free with my first allergy challenges."
"But I started noticing everyday normal wear and tear stains were not coming out."
"I have tried many "free" or "sensitive" detergents but they just cannot compare to Tide's cleaning power."

"My sister, who owns an LG washer that was publicly slammed for odors, also has none thanks to Charlie's Soap. After taking care of my aging mother (and my father before that) there was a great deal of laundry being done (infer what you want... you're right) and can tell you that it cleans as well as anything. Your clothes will slowly soften as the residue is removed over several washings with Charlie's Soap."
"My side loading washing machine has less residue on the window and the plastic liner no longer has build up, as was a big problem using other laundry soaps."
"Keep in mind that this soap does not have bleach or any whitening agents, so don't expect glaring white clothes wash after wash. But, if you wash your clothes with like colors, and you want them to smell clean, but not like perfume, you'll love Chalrie's!"
"is made from petroleum and leaves a coating on your wash (and will make your front load washer smell bad); you then need to use fabric softener to add another residue to soften the crap from your detergent."
"Charlie's soap had worked just as well if not better than traditional laundry detergent and leaves no lingering odors on top of not irritating my skin."
"Been using now for over a year or more - excellent and leaves machine and clothes nice and clean."
"The friendly folks at Charlie's gave me a great tip a few years ago, that if you use an extra rinse cycle, you shouldn't need a fabric softner bc its the laundry soap/detergent residue that makes fabrics stiff."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've since learned that this smell is a common problem with HE machines, but at the time I didn't know what was causing the problem, nor did I know how to fix it. I even began to smell traces on my clothes and my kids' clothes when we were out and I cringed at the thought that others could smell it too! I called Samsung and they suggested a washing machine cleaner "like Affresh or Tide." I had the same odor, but now it smelled like I tried to mask it with a ton of perfume! I can once again do my laundry, wear my clothes and especially wrap myself in a towel without that disgusting odor following me everywhere!"
"I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month."
"My very first clean with Affresh left me surprised and delighted for not only did it clean my machine, it eliminated the nasty smell that always transferred to my clothes thanks to a build up of mold I didn't even know about."
"I didn't understand why I couldn't just run bleach in my machine to clean it out occasionally, until I actually ran one of these tablets (free sample with my washer). The key is that the tablet goes in the washer drum, and doesn't dissolve right away."
"These usually just give me peace of mind I'm washing my clothes in a washer that isn't disgusting from previous loads."
"Was using tide washing machine cleaner but it had a horribly strong scent."
"I bought these for my Amana HE washer and it does seem to make it cleaner, and make it smell better."
"The washer in my apartment unit came with a musty smell."
