There are some household chores you just despise, and there are some you really don't mind. For me? Laundry is one that I actually don't mind doing. Well...washing and drying, that is. Folding and putting away? Notsomuch. So I was pretty excited when Mrs. Meyer's gave me the opportunity to review their new 68 load laundry detergent.
I first fell in love with Mrs. Meyer's when I tried the countertop spray in lavender. Favorite thing? It leaves the house smelling heavenly. Fitting, then, that Mrs. Meyer's sent the lavender scented Laundry Detergent. (Note: the detergent is also available in the following scents - Bluebell, Lemon Verbena, and Rosemary)
To give you a bit of background on the {almost} dream house, we use a septic tank. The word septic scared us at first, but upon further research, it's really not that big of a deal as long as you maintain it well. Along with maintaining it well, you need to take a closer look at the cleaning products you use. Certain products can disrupt the natural bacteria in the septic tank and really create some serious problems. The awesome news? Mrs. Meyer's products not only smell AMAZING, but they are septic friendly as well!!
Now to the actual review. You literally use 1 tablespoon of detergent for a full load. As I'm filling the washing machine, I'm thinking psssh. No WAY this gets my sheets clean. Seriously, look at how teeny tiny the cap is compared to what you probably use now. They note that the detergent is remarkably concentrated, hence the need for only 1 tablespoon per load.
I poured it in and let my washer do the dirty work. (Har Har.)
Results? I was worried the hubs would over-rule me using the detergent again due to lavender being a bit girly smelling. BUT, our sheets both smelled and felt clean, and the lavender scent wasn't overwhelming at all. I was really quite pleased. Overall, I really like the detergent. It gets the sheets very clean and leaves it with a very fresh scent! I couldn't find a negative at all. :)
