No unscented?
I love this size. We travel for a week with our toddler, and this is the perfect size to have in the bag for the inevitable load of laundry that needs to be done while on the road.
But without the unscented version available in this size, I have had to resort to asking someone else to use these 8 loads, and refill the bottle with the unscented refill package.
I would get more to keep stashed in our carry-ons, but the lack of an unscented version keeps me from it.
So awesome!
I really like the product. I like the fact it has the pump on it. It makes it so easy to add a few squirts into the laundry and move right along. It goes a long way and just the 8 load lasted a bit longer. I recommend and I am going to use this from now on.
Great idea. . .but. . .
Great idea, but only offering one scent is a little short sighted. Especially when there are so many people suffering from skin and upper respiratory allergies that would need the unscented version (which I currently use and LOVE). I understand it’s more cost effective to do one scent, but fresh air turns me off, it is often over powering or causes me problems with allergies.
awesome for travel!
When we go on vacation we usually stay in a timeshare that has laundry appliances in each unit. Last time I closed up our 25-load container and brought it but wished I had something smaller since we were only gone for a week. This is perfect! We buy the 85 load refill pouch anyway so when this trial size runs out I will get even more use out of it! Found it on clearance at my local Target this week. So excited to find this gem!
It's allmose
It works really good and no big jugs to hang on to.
