Earth Friendly Country Save Laundry Detergent

When Len and I go to one of our timeshares, they always provide us with laundry detergent. For the past 11 years it had always been the small boxes of Tide. However, the last few times it has been a sachet of Country Save Laundry Detergent.

The size they give us is net weight 2 ounce (70 g). It states on the front of it that it will do 1 top load, or 2 front load washes. These are for large loads. When we are away I only wash underwear, socks, and the odd tee shirt for Len. The packet will do 3 of these really small loads.

Tide is a great detergent, and really does get clothes clean. However, the price is normally more expensive than other detergents, and sometimes you just need to save money.

It states on the front of the packet that it is a 'Superior cleaning product since 1977. It is biodegradable, and is dye and fragrance free'.

With Country Save you have to put the powder in the washing machine first, and then add some water, before putting the clothes in. In you are planning to do a cold wash, then the powder should be mixed with warm water, to ensure that it dissolves.

So my first load was whites, and I put the washing machine on a hot wash. When the machine had finished, my whites were beautifully white, and I had no complaints.

Then I had bras and panties, so I wanted a gentle, cold wash. I put some of the powder into a small bowl, added warm water to it, and then started the machine. I added the detergent mix to the water, before putting my underwear in.

My undies came out clean.

I dried all my washed clothes, and then checked them. They were as good, as any other quality detergent, that I have used.

I did use a Bounce sheet in the dryer, but after reading about this laundry detergent, it states that your clothes should be softer, and it may not be necessary to use one, which will save money in the long run.

Since buying a box of County Save, which was about the same price as my other detergents, I am finding that the powder does go further. I am only using a small amount of detergent, so really it is saving me money.

I also feel good that I am using an establishment product, which has been around for a long time, is dye and fragrance free, completely biodegardable, 100% phosphate-free, and is gentle for sensitive skin.

Keep out of the reach of children. Check for other cautions.
