Recently I have written about several washing detergents and I would like to share another one of my favorites. As I have said before we must use washing powder to do our laundry with. And we all have our favorite brands in doing so. I am no exception! I have used most all of the washing powders available, like so many of you have and I too have my favorites. There are a couple of them and I am going to write about one of them here.

I have kids that get their clothes so filthy that sometimes I wonder if the stains will come out! (Don’t all parents wonder that from time to time!)? And my husband will get his work uniforms so dirty that I want to just throw them at him and tell him to wash them his self. But of course I don’t. I have been a wife and mother for over 25 years now and like I said above I have tried my share of washing powders and I have always gone back to a couple of them.

The Product

All™, with stain lifters, (this is the correct spelling all!) Hypoallergenic and is formulated without dyes and perfumes. This is a good thing because so many people can be allergic to the different perfume smells in washing detergents.

Washing with All™ Free and Clear will help to remove 2 of the top everyday allergens, dust mite matter and cat dander as well as certain fragrances. All™ Free and Clear is not intended to treat or prevent allergies, so please don’t get the wrong idea here.

I buy the liquid All that is Free and Clear with an Allergen Fighter®. This detergent is great! I know that when I use it that the clothes are going to come clean, no matter the stains. And the Free and Clear guarantee’s me that there will be no detergent stains left behind on the clothes, no heavy perfumed scents or dyes.

All Clear and Free with Allergen Fighters® is recommended by Dermatologist and Allergists. It is number 1 in their book and mine too!

I pay at my local Wal-Mart $4.96 for the size mentioned in this review. You can also find coupons for All. Sometimes I can get if for 3.96 on sale at the local grocery store.

Directions

You should separate your clothes accordingly. Whites with whites, colors with colors and delicate with delicate, etc.

I wash all our clothes with cold water. However, all Fresh Rain Scent™ does recommend on the back of the box to wash white with whites in hot water, Permanent Press, Bright Colors and Delicates in warm water and Colors that Fade or Bleed in cold water.

Medium Load – use half a cup
Large Load – use ¾ cup
Heavy Soiled – used 1 cup

The cap can be used for measuring out the detergent. There is a full line that is visibly clear to the eye on the inside of the cap. The cap is approximately 1 cup.

The bottle is white as is the cap. And the All blue label is on the front with All written in yellow letters.

Ingredients

Cleaning agents (anionic and nonionic surfactants), water softeners (sodium alumino silicate and sodium carbonate), anti-redeposition agent, fabric whitener, perfume, washer protection agent (sodium silicate) and processing aids (sodium sulfate).

This “all” formula was made without phosphorus. The surfactants in “all” are biodegradable and safe for septic tanks.

You should read the ingredients before buying the product to be sure you are not allergic to any of those ingredients.

Laundry Hints

“How to lift out special problem stains: remove stain as soon as possible. If you cannot treat stain immediately, flush with cool water. Hot water can set some stains.” (I have to say here that sometimes when a stain occurs on our clothing that I will use a little bar soap to rub over the stain until I can get it washed.)

“Problem stains can be treated by: presoaking with 1 cap filled (to normal line) per gallon of warm water in a sink or bucket or add 1 cap to warm water in washer. Let clothes soak for up to 30 minutes or for best results, overnight.

How I feel

I love this detergent! I love not getting washing detergent on the clothes, especially the whites! I really hate that when it happens. And my daughter, well she lets me know it was my fault when her clothes come out with blue stains.

She is working now as a waitress and her clothing gets rather dirty. With All®, I know that they will come clean and look nice. The same with my husbands work clothes and my son’s clothes. These people I live with get their clothes so dirty! But, when I take the clothing out of the dryer I am smiling! Because they look great! Smell great! And stay great until the next dirty time!

Like I stated above, this is one of my favorites to use.

I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.

God Bless!
