How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsLaundry Stripping
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020
Laundry Stripping is a big trend right now. After seeing a lot of social media posts about it I tried it myself. This washing soda worked great!
Recipe:
1/2 Cup washing soda
1/2 Laundry Borax
1 Cup powdered laundry detergent (without dyes) I recommend “all free and clear.”
Fill a tub with hot water and add the ingredients. Put *clean* clothes in and allow to soak in the tub for 4 hours. Then watch the magic happen! It strips your clothes of any residue/odors left from your clothes even when they are clean.

You might think isn’t that just the color fading off from your clothes making the tub look so dirty? My husband thought so. So the next batch I did was WHITE clothing and the water was disgusting then too. It’s very satisfying. My husbands gym clothes never felt and smelled so fresh.

1.0 out of 5 starsNOT Fragrance Free!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2019
I purchased 2 of these because they are supposed to be unscented - fragrance free. I am shocked that they smell like Tide detergent. I had an asthma attack as soon as I opened them.

I received these about December 1, 2019 and had to put them in my basement, hopeful the fragrance odor would be gone in time, but here it is January 6, 2020 and as soon as I opened my basement door, the strong fragrance detergent smell was still very strong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard, not smelling great laundry? This is a GREAT product to change that!
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I bought this due to have towels that did not seem soft and no matter what I did I never felt our laundry smelled "fresh". I add half a cap to our usual soap and a full load. WOW, our towels are soft, more absorbent. Our clothes SMELL like our detergent, and CLEAN. I am really enjoying this product, whenever I have an order I add it on for 4 bucks. I have seen it at our local home improvement store too. Can't be beat, give it a shot especially if you have hard water!

I don't think the product itself has much of a smell, it is more of a helper to your detergent!

I've been making my own laundry detergent using the Arm & Hammer Washing Soda plus Borax and some essential oils. The clothes get super clean and it's pretty cheap as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best! Removes blood. Tough dried in stains.
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Takes out tough stains. Dried blood. Grass, Oil (for oil i mix this with dawn let it sit and its gone in the next wash) A tablespoon in your dishwater will leave you with the glasses that look brand new. Separates proteins. Stuck on eggs, cheese you name it. You could probably get it cheaper but delivered at this price is a steal.
I love it. Im allergic to oxyclean but who cares this is better, has more uses and it cheaper.

4.0 out of 5 stars IMPRESSED!! :) My only request is that...
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2020
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Very impressive!!! I LOVE how fresh & cleaner my laundry is after using it with my clothes, towels, etc!!!! I had one piece of clothing that was stained and wasnt coming clean after each wash.. but just one wash with this Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda and it was like new!!! I LOVE how it is natural too for those of us with allergies & sensitivities to many products...
I found it takes a good bit of washing soda in a load.. about a cup of powder for a large load with my laundry.. So my only request is that they have more powder in the box because I go through it sooo much... it seems like we do alot of laundry around here! ;)
Hope this review helps someone :)

5.0 out of 5 stars CLEANING HACK!
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2020
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Found on a TikTok I’ve had screenshotted for months about how to “detox” clothes. I ordered the ingredients to clean a thick Carhartt jacket my husband used to wear in the oilfield (thank you, pandemic). It smelled like oilfield dirt and oil and finally put this to the test.

I used 1 whole cup of powder detergent, 1/4 cup of Borax & 1/4 cup of Baking Soda.

Fill up tub with HOT water, pour and stir in ingredients and then put in whatever clothing you’d like to strip clean (doesn’t bleach or make color fade). I let this jacket sit for 5+ hours, stirring every hour. What’s crazy is this is AFTER I washed this jacket 4 times in a row! (Yes, I really wanted it clean). You can do this with towels, blankets, used clothes and works well to get cigarette smell out!

You’re welcome. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Now that i know, I will buy again!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2016
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Must have for diy detergent, works wonders and you can customize your own scent!!

I used the ever popular recipe:

1 cup borax, 1 cup washing soda, a a grated bar of homemade soap. Blended until powdery and viola stinky towels smell yummy!! I used 3 tbs on a large load of exclusively towels, and it was overkill! Will onky need 1 tbs per average load at my house :D

I had never heard of this stuff before, but I don't like to think about those dark times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old school laundry sugar
Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I got sick and tired of spending an arm and a leg on a tub per week of that other white powdered laundry additive with the expensive packaging and infamous infomercials. I knew there had to be an old school alternative at a fraction of the price, so I got my millennial butt to work on the Google machine and found out how our abuelas used to do it. I now refuse to buy any laundry product they begins with an O and ends with too many dollars per month out of my wallet. Thanks, Internet, for teaching me what my Gen X parents and public school education didn’t—basic adulting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and clean. A must buy for ALL
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
Size: 3.43 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I love this washing soda. The scent is what I describe as simply "fresh and clean" because there really is no scent, just fresh and clean:-) I use a half a cup of this in the bottom of each load of dishes, with castile soap in the detergent tray, and vinegar in the rinse holder. SO SPARKLY afterwards. I also use 2 cups of this in my homemade laundry soap. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Perfect for our non-toxic home environment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
