How long did this detergent last? I wash a load of laundry every two days. Thank you!

I am still using it and glad I made this selection. My skin does not itch anymore now that the residues of the old detergents have been washed away. I use less that the tiny scoop they send with the bag as it works very well that way. I will reorder soon but it does last a long time for me.

I got my bag of Savvy on April 18th and still have about 1/8 the bag left...sometimes I use one scoop sometimes 1 and 1/2 per load and probably do about.4-5 loads a week.

I only use the scoop enclosed. I do about 7 loads a week - I use the full scoop for heavily soiled and only a half for those things not heavily soiled but that need laundering. It lasted me about 2 months. I love this laundry detergent!!

Molly, I only use this product for my workout wear, bras and panties. It is a higher quality detergent but developed for synthetics; therefore, I think it would be expensive to use for everyday laundry.

Laundry detergent. If you use it in a closet, I recommend leaving plenty of space around it or hanging it on a hook inside the door. Clothes that hang close to it will pick up the smell. It isn't as noticeable after 2 weeks, though.

I don't think it gets clothes as clean as regular detergent. I was disappointed with the lack of smell and unclean feel when washing a normal (for us) size load. Perhaps a much smaller load may make a difference. I haven't tried that.

Good question. I have gotten product that is excellent but have also gotten product that smells like soured laundry left in the washer for too long by accident. You do have the option of asking a question of the vendor so it is a good idea to request the expiration date.

This won't harm your clothes at all. It's the ingredient that they used to put in all laundry detergents but took out several years ago due to environmental issues. I'm a big environmentalist but not when it comes to cleaning products. This is the ingredient that helped make detergents clean your clothes (it's out of most major brand dishwasher detergents as well). I put in less than a teaspoon in my washer (front loader) & about 1 teaspoonful in the dishwasher so 1 box will last you years.

Mine lasted for years. I wondered about buying 2 since I could only find them on line. I only wash for 2 now but used it hard when my five kids were living with me and it lasted.

At first you may need to use more (2 T) to get your machine clean. After that you can scale back to a teaspoon each time. In my experience I would guess that you could use it for about 30-40 washes.

6 Bottles! This detergent also you may already know, if you already use goes a very long way! Back in the 80's when this first hit the market this was and continues to be the best laundry detergent!!! I will never understand why, they stopped having them in stores? For as long as they produce this detergent, I will always have it in my house!!! Hope this helps?

Large load setting on your washing machine, warm water, laundry soap and oxyclean. Hang to dry. I wash mine at least 3x a week.

Depends on how much you use it. I use it quite a bit and I wash it every 2 weeks.

It lasts a long time, obviously it depends on weather, etc.Definitely wash the microfiber towels every time.

I wrote to Downy at the contact email and just received this reply:"All of our laundry detergents have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with a properly functioning septic system. We know it's important for our consumers to be able to take care of their homes and the environment, too. For more information about cleaning products and septic systems, visit the American Cleaning Institute web site (search on "septic"). I hope this information helps."

Hi Jerry. I actually came across the following link which is the one one that inspired me to make my own. Its pretty good. http://www.howdoesshe.com/cheaper-and-better-diy-laundry-detergent/ Also, I put a few drops of essential oil (mostly lavender, sometimes orange) on a tennis ball and throw it in the dryer and the clothes come out infused with whatever scent I choose. :0)

Ali, I've used mine for more than a year and we wash approximately 8 loads per week. When laundry is especially dirty, I use a bit of Melaleuca laundry soap HE with the load and works great!

It will last a few days. Really depends on how much you scrub the area it is on while in the shower or how much your clothes will rub against it. I put it on my lower back and it lasts around 3 days.

HE? This detergent makes clothes smell SOOO good, even after they've been hanging in your closet for a little while. I suggest to buy the bigger bottles though....if you can find a good bargain on it! :)
