FOREVER NEW Granular Detergent Powder, 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.)

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 have been using this more than a decade and haven't found anything better than this. One morning about 10 years ago, I fell while I was running in a park and cut my arm pretty badly with broken glass that happened to be on the ground. I went to an ER and got stitches. I was exhausted when I got home and didn't wash my light pink tank top that had big blood stain. Next day (it was actually at night), my roommate saw my tank and told me to use Forever New. So I soaked it in sink full cold water with about 2 teaspoons of Forever New and waited about 30min. I was amazed after I washed it. Blood stain was gone. Completely. That's how I got hooked with Forever New. I also have noticed it is great to clean swimwear that is soaked in tanning oil (I use A LOT of tanning oil on the beach) or has spray tan stain. It comes right off in a few minutes. It doesn't contain any harsh chemical but is still powerful, and also smells great. This is a must for all the girls (and boys!).

I have been using Forever New for hand washing since 2012, and I love the product dearly. However, I have already despised the smell of the original version and spend so much extra time soaking and rinsing to get rid of the smell. I had no idea there was an Unscented version available, but I am so happy I found it! My washing process: - Add about 1 t - 1T to lukewarm water in the sink or a small washtub, dissolve thoroughly, and add garments. Soak for at least 5 minutes. The water should be cloudy and grey, and any excess dye will also release into the water. Rinse thoroughly - Repeat the above process at least once or twice until the water no longer looks grey or murky. The water may be a little opaque but should not look greasy or dirty at all - Soak in plain water and change until all the detergent scent is gone, rinse thoroughly, and lay out to dry! With the Original version, I spent so much time on the last step to get rid of the scent, as I found the smell gave me a headache. Now, I only need to rinse thoroughly enough to make sure that there are no bubbles left in the water or on the garment. I use this to wash all intimates, sleepwear, silk, and lightweight sweaters, and haven't had any issues with using this on my fabrics. I have super sensitive skin prone to eczema and have never found this to irritate my skin. I have also used this in hard and soft water and haven't noticed any difference in performance. Love that it is powder and economical for storage and travel-friendly. The best hand wash that I have found, highly recommended!

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!

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.

This detergent is very effective and kind on sensitive skin. I use it for everything I put against my skin including sheets, pillowcases, towels undergarments.

My go to cold water wash for my delicates. No shrinking, fading, & has a nice sent

LOVE this stuff! This is the fists big bottle I have bought as I normally buy the smaller bottle. Would have preferred the unperfumed version but that doesn't seem to be available in this size. Started using Forever New after making purchase of Prima Donna lingerie which was a large expense so wanted to ensure they stayed in good condition - hence being forever just like new. So easy to use, just add warm water to disolve and soak your bras for 5 minutes before rinsing. What could be easier?

Great product!
