Powerful Powder
This is great stuff for really dirty laundry. I do a lot of hiking and mountain biking, ergo lots of sweaty horrible-smelling polyster technical clothing splattered with mud and vegetation stains. Planet Ultra Powdered Laundry Detergent does an outstanding job cleaning these athletic clothes (as well as my office clothes!).
And it is easier on the environment, too - it doesn't have all the enzymes, brighters, scents, and who-knows-what chemicals the mainstream detergents have in them. An independent lab has certified it is biodegradable, so I know it is not just marketing. Some of my family members have skin allergies, and they do fine with Planet powdered detergent. It doesn't make many suds, so I have used it in an HE (High efficiency) washer, I just use half of what they say on the box.
I've learned I should take one extra step with all powdered detergents. Dissolve it first in the wash water and let the machine agitate for a minute, then add the clothes. This prevents white marks from forming on dark clothing. Also, if there's a really bad grass stain or similar, sometimes I pre-treat a stain with their liquid laundry detergent or other. For the results Planet provides, I can happily live with this!
