Nellie's Laundry Soda - Concentrated Laundry Detergent Powder - 100 Load - Gentle on Skin and Environment - Fragrance-Free - (Made in Canada)

I purchased the 113.6 oz container of Nellie’s Laundry Soda for our family of five. Several of us have sensitive skin, eczema, and reactions to perfumes and dyes, so finding a detergent that’s both gentle and effective has been a challenge. I’ve tried a number of “natural” or fragrance-free detergents in the past, but many of them struggled with stains—especially with three kids who play sports and come home with heavily soiled clothes. Based on the reviews, I decided to give Nellie’s a try and was honestly surprised by how well it performs. After several weeks of use, our laundry consistently comes out clean, soft, and noticeably brighter, with no added scent. There’s no perfume smell at all—just that clean, fresh feeling—which has made a big difference for our household. For tougher odors, I pair it with vinegar in the wash as a deodorizer, and that combination has been a game changer. Another major plus is the cost. The large container lasts a long time, and when you break it down per load, it’s less than half the cost of some other sensitive-skin detergents we’ve used. Pros: • Truly fragrance-free and gentle on sensitive skin • Cleans well and handles stains better than expected • Leaves clothes soft and looking bright • Very cost-effective for larger households Cons: • Powder form may take a little getting used to if you’re used to liquid detergents • Plastic packaging isn't the most eco-friendly • Fine powder can spill if you’re not careful when scooping Overall, this has become our go-to detergent. I’d highly recommend it to families dealing with skin sensitivities who still need something that can handle real-world messes.

Received a small version of this and its honestly the best detergent. I hate when laundry detergent leaves a strong smell, but this one has little to no smell besides an extremely light clean scent. I especially love it for bedding and blanket washes, I feel like it makes it feel extra clean compared to other detergents and its good for my sensitive skin.

Nellie's is a new brand to me. Honestly, I'm not overly concerned about toxins or keeping things "natural", for me it's if something works. Our household includes people and pets, and we all like clean laundry. Much to my amazement, this stuff has effectively replaced all of my other laundry soaps and boosters, leaving my laundry clean, refreshed, and softer than expected. I'm excited to keep using it. I saw it on a warehouse website and did a web search to learn more. We have hard water (well water) and a septic tank. None of us have skin issues except for dry skin from the well water. I was intrigued by all the positive reviews written about this product and how little of it was needed to achieve fresh, scent-free clean, so I bought this 50-load pack to try it out and my results were fantastic! My first load was a full load of soiled clothing from working outside and two bath towels. I used 2-3 tablespoons (scoop included) to get things clean. I washed it on the "super size" with 2 tablespoons using hot water. The t-shirts (white) were brighter, stains removed, and there was no scent, yet the laundry was refreshed and no hints of dirty, stinky, or unclean. The water had a slight layer of bubbles, but no suds to speak of. The water did get dark with dirty stuff though. The clothing dried with much less lint coming off of the load than it usually has, and everything was soft to the touch. Sort of fluffy in a way that made things like my old fleece jacket seem newer. (I know it sounds weird, but it's true!) The second load was a set of king-size sheets. This too was washed in hot water using two-tablespoons of this product. Again, the results were as before with the bonus of a few blood stains from a cut on my husband's arm being completely gone without pretreating them with any other product. The third load was smaller, a mixed load with one tablespoon (one scoop) of the product in cold water. It too cleaned the clothes as expected, and the load dried with a soft texture, little or no lint, and unscented freshness. My friend who has psoriasis is always looking for products that are unscented, and good for sensitive skin. I immediately let her know about Nellie's and I think she'll like it too. PROS: 1. Super-small amount needed for clean laundry. 2. Using it couldn't be easier. The powder dissolves quickly and completely in any temperature of water. 3. Whites seem brighter after only one wash. 4. Little or no suds. 5. No feeling of residue on the laundry or inside the machine. 6. Laundry is soft to the touch after washing and drying with this product. 7. No laundry pre-treatment is needed for dirt and stains. 8. Eco-friendly and won't harm your septic. 9. Leaves laundry so soft, there is no need for additional softeners. CONS: 1. It is more expensive than other brands. 2. Packaging can get punctured and the product is small (like grains of sand) and could leak out). 3. US buyers may experience higher prices due to tariffs as this is a product of Canada. If you want a high-quality product that gets your laundry clean without perfumes or dyes, is good for sensitive skin, is septic-friendly, removes dirt and stains without the need for a pre-treatment, and leaves your laundry feeling soft and looking refreshed, buy this stuff. It's worth the extra money.

I love this detergent. unscented, when I choose I may add natural laundry scents. cleans well, and is not so chemically toxic.

Have tried many similar products over the yrs, (15) & keep coming back to Nellies. Gets laundry clean, even my husbands oil clothing and heavy mud from work. No scent and gentle even on my families sensitive skin & thankfully is what I feel is cost efficient. I did remove one star bc although the packaging may look better, the revamped tops are super hard to open on each use. If you have any hand or wrist issues (Carpal Tunnel, Arthritis, etc) or even just small hands you may have a really tough time opening and resealing as I do. My next find will be another canister to pour the powder into now.

This is a wonderful product and I just couldn't do without it. When I use other ECO detergents, yes they are very good, but when compared to this one, I, personally notice a big difference. I fully recommend it.

This is a very good detergent, it does not have a sharp chemical smell, it copes well with its tasks, but, unfortunately, it is not cheap.

Cleans better than the liquid I was using. My towels smell fresh, are fluffy, and no more musty smell. My clothes are scent free, which is great for my allergies. I will be trying more of your products. Support Canadian!

Got it for newborn laundry. Zero smell and soft. Works well

日常の洗濯に使いやすい洗剤でした。泡立ちが程よく、汚れや汗ジミがきちんと落ちて仕上がりがさっぱりします。香りは強すぎず、衣類本来の香りを邪魔しないので家族みんなの洗濯にも使いやすいです。柔軟剤と一緒に使っても相性が良く、シンプルで使い勝手の良い洗濯洗剤だと思います。ボトルデザインも分かりやすくて扱いやすかったです。日常使いの洗剤として満足しています。
