FOREVER NEW Granular Detergent Powder - Delicate Laundry Care Wash - Original Scented 32 Oz

I have been using Woolite for my polyester tops and satin pillowcases for years and after awhile, it just didn't seem to be cleaning anymore. So I starting searching for something else to try. There really are very few choices once you start looking. I had even tried a plant based detergent on other items recently and I can't tell you the clothes are clean after the load is done. Using my regular liquid detergent for my regular clothes and having to switch at some point as well, I discovered the trick to using a powder detergent - you MUST make sure it dissolves completely BEFORE you start the load!!! So, I had faith in this. Filled my tablespoon and it came out slowly and I dropped it into the cold water and stirred. Guess what? There are rock hard chucks that absolutely refused to dissolve floating around the drum! I got a small laundry cup and put some fairly warm water in it - around 1 inch - fished out the chunks and put them in the cup. They dissolved immediately. Feeling better, I let the load run its course. After I put them in the dryer, they came out smelling fairly strong (from the heat) and I laid them out to finish air drying. My results/conclusion: 1. It has a scent even though it says it's unscented. It is NOT bad, just smells clean and when the items were completely dry, there was hardly any smell left over at all. 2. This stuff actually works!! Not only are the pillowcases clean - it removed facial oil stains that have been there (and dried in there) for YEARS!!!! Could not believe it. This is an awesome product and I highly recommend it!! (Side note: Again, as a first time user, figuring out what product is what when all the bottles look alike is frustrating. Liquid, darks, scented, unscented and original and in at least 3 sizes each; make sure you end up with the product you wanted in your cart.) Read more

It is wonderful! If this doesn’t whiten and help bring life back to materials…the item probably needs to be thrown out! Read more

Very gentle and great for hand washing delicate items. Nice fragrance Read more

I've been using Forever New to wash my delicates for years after it was recommended by a salesperson ar a bra store. It's a great product for sensitive skin. I have eczema and it really helps keep my bras clean without the harsh detergents that harm my skin. You can literally see the dirt/body oils lifted without the product discoloring the item. Forever New is easy to use, you just leave the bras soaking in the sink with the product, rinse it off after a while, and hang to dry. No scrubbing is necessary. This product works great! Read more

The previous owners of my home left an older bottle of this detergent when they moved out. Tried it & loved it! I use it for all of my clothes. Does a good job of removing stains…just a quick hand soak & rinse. The bottle says it’s the original scent, but it doesn’t smell nearly as good as the old one I had…but still like it! I initially thought it was pricey, but it only takes 2 tablespoons of detergent for a machine load…so this bottle will last me forever…all in all, the price is good. Read more

I originally bought this from a high-end bra specialty store. They told me to use it to extend the life of the products purchased. Previously, I had been doing all my handwashing in Woolite, but I was informed that Woolite is only to be used on natural fibers such as silk and wool. The Forever New is to specific to man-made fibers. I have been using it ever since and could not be happier. It has a nice scent, dissolves easily and a small amount goes a long way. It really does clean my personal items well and seems to extend their lifespan since they never go in the washer or dryer. I even use it on the gloves I use at the gym and they come out great too!

I was skeptical about trying Forever New, but tried it because of other reviews. This is a superb clothes cleaning product. I keep some already diluted on hand and I apply it wet to stains using a toothbrush and I haven't come across anything that it can't clean. Read more
