This stuff rules. It's simple, economical, has minimal plastic packaging that can at least be reused or repurposed before "recycling" (sorry to burst your hippie bubble, but VERY little of what goes into recycle bins actually gets averted from landfill), the box takes up way less room than liquid detergent bottles for the same number of load. Also, this has an A rating on EWG.org
(nonpartisan nonprofit research group that analyzes all sorts of data, including ingredients of consumer goods, which are rated based on how healthy things are for humans and the environment, it's a really cool site, has all sorts of stuff, bodycare & cosmetics too)
Anyway, I usually wash with cold water in a front-loading HE washer, and I have no problems with this clumping because I sprinkle the powder inside the drum on top of my clothes. It will only clump if you put it in the compartment that's meant for liquid detergent. I also add about 1/4 cup of distilled white vinegar to every load to do all sorts of magical things.
Sometimes I do shed a single tear because I miss the childhood smell of Gain and Tide and Bounce and such. But then I think about how sewage is minimally processed by wastewater treatment plants, then dumped into our rivers, groundwater, watersheds, bays, oceans, etc etc etc, and I snap out of it. Smell the future!! Thanks, Biokleen.
The real test for eco-detergents is cloth diapering in hard water. I've been using the following regimen for about a year in my mountain well water, with high levels of calcium and magnesium salts, with good success - absolutely no rashes, no ammonia, no barnyard smell - my cotton prefolds and hemp inserts come out clean as a whistle. I also use organic coconut oil on baby's bottom with most changes, and lanolized wool covers, so this washing strategy also works to get those oils out of the cotton and hemp.
(Note for hard water: If you want to use a non-toxic, eco-detergent and you have hard water (80-90% of the USA has hard water) you will need to add in some kind of hard water treatment to your wash. The only kinds that work in the long-run are non-precipitating water conditioners: Sodium tripolyphosphate (STTP) 1/2 - 2 tbsp per load* in a front loader; or EDTA (calcium disodium EDTA), or Charlie's Booster & Hard Water Treatment (potassium diphosphate). AND/OR, this is something I've been playing with - adding 1/2 - 1 cup vinegar, or 10% citric acid solution** in the rinse compartment which dissolves mineral deposits and softens fabric naturally. I am not sure if vinegar or citric acid rinses alone will control the hard water deposits but it seems to be enough for some people, I suspect their water isn't extremely hard. Some people like Calgon as a water softener, but it wasn't a miracle for me - I'm not 100% sure how well the new formulation works - it contains zeolites and some synthetic polymer with an unclear safety profile ... Be aware that borax and washing soda are sold as water softeners, but they actually precipitate mineral salts onto your fabrics unless they are used with non-precipitating water softeners as mentioned above. The other problem with borax is that it's toxic to humans, not just ants.)
*STTP and EDTA are non-toxic, and are even approved for use as food additives
**10% citric acid solution is easy to make by adding 100 g granulated citric cid per liter of water, I make a gallon at a time.
Here is what I do, with high water hardness, in my mediocre Samsung HE front loading washer, for a load that fills up 2/3 of the washer:
1) Pre-soak prefolds and inserts in hot water in several 5 gallon buckets for 1 - 2 hours: 1/2 scoop biokleen + 1/8 cup washing soda (alkaline) + 1 tbsp STTP per bucket. This cuts through oils and removes mineral build-up on fibers. It also removes stains. And the STTP softens the water to prevent and remove mineral deposits. Dump the water after soaking, and do a spin only load in the washer to remove excess liquid.
2) Then light wash on warm water with extra rinse: to remove remaining poo + urine, with 1/2 to 1 scoop biokleen + 1 tbsp STTP
3) Then heavy duty hot wash + extra rinse: with 1-1.5 scoop biokleen + 1 tbsp STTP
4) Final warm water light wash with extra rinse: to remove residual detergent and alkali residue to assure baby's sensitive skin doesn't react. I add 1 cup vinegar or 1/2 cup citric acid solution to this (in the detergent slot), which helps remove hard water mineral buildup and makes sure the pH of the diapers is back to neutral or just slightly acidic which human skin does fine with.
This is a fair bit of work - wish I had an old-fashioned non HE washer, or a better HE one. But the truth is that most HE washers don't use enough water to effectively wash / rinse in cloth diapering situations. I know Fluff Love University says don't do extra rinses, but that is rubbish. I experimented with leaving out the final rinse a few times and that is the only time that a contact rash began to appear on baby's bottom. It went away immediately when I added the extra rinse back in. My background is chemistry, and the way this works is "dynamic equilibrium" - as long as you take steps to keep the mineral deposits in check, you can do some extra rinses without creating more of a mineral build-up on the fibers in the long run.
If you ever need to strip your diapers, I'd recommend first soaking in a very strong de-greaser like dawn in very hot water for 4-6 hours (I do it in a big cooler to keep it hot), and agitating with a plunger (NOT in your front loader! - use a bathtub or big bucket instead), you can also add some enzymes like Bac-Out which helps too. This gets rid of oily or greasy residues and organic gunk. And, then follow this with either a vinegar or citric acid soak in very hot water for 4-6 hours. This removes the hard water mineral deposits and soap scum residues. If you have soft water, normal stripping regimens will probably work fine - I don't think there would be much benefit from the acid soak.
Hope this is useful. It took some trial and error to figure it out.
I'll compare this detergent to some others I have tried or researched before finding this.
Ecover Zero Powder - Doesn't dissolve well, leaves darks with streaks, bleached my clothes over time (due to sodium percarbonate)
Tide Free & Gentle Liquid - Contains preservatives, brighteners. Wanted to avoid those.
Tide Free & Gentle Powder - Contains sodium percarbonate (mild bleach), brighteners.
Sal Suds - Cleaned well enough for me, but left clothes as stiff as cardboard, and created a lot of static in the dryer for some reason.
Biokleen Citrus Liquid - Made my clothes smell like garbage. Had to throw a whole load of laundry out.
After all the testing and research I have done, I honestly believe this to be the best of the best if you want a detergent with good ingredients that still cleans well. The fact that it doesn't have a fragrance is a big bonus for me as well since I don't enjoy smells other than the smell of neutral clean on my clothes/sheets.
