Giveaway: Nellie's All Natural Laundry Soda*

This giveaway is now closed. Please scroll to the bottom to see the winner!

Being a long-time fan of Nellie’s All Natural Laundry Soda, I am excited to have the opportunity to introduce this product to one of my readers. In fact, it’s the #1 detergent I recommend to friends with environmental sensitivities, small children, or washing cloth diapers!

I prefer detergents with a short list of ingredients that work easily in my HE front-loading washer without any extra steps, such as first dissolving the powder in warm water.  Nellie’s All Natural Laundry Soda is the only powder I’ve used in my washer that hasn’t resulted in caked detergent on freshly-washed clothing. It dissolves quickly and rinses extremely well.

I love that Nellie’s doesn’t contain any oxygen bleach like other powdered detergents I’ve used — I prefer to add my own only when needed, to cut down on fabric fading and garment wear and tear. Nellie’s does make an excellent oxygen bleach for those loads that need it, however! In fact, Nellie’s only contains 5(!) ingredients. There are no fragrances or fabric softeners in this detergent, making it safe for cloth diapers and particularly nice for baby clothing.

I use Nellie’s on all our laundry. With three boys (one of whom is in cloth diapers) and a husband, that’s a lot of laundry! Nellie’s All-Natural Laundry Soda is relatively easy to find for purchase at local (Ottawa) health food stores, baby shops, and can be purchased online through Nellie’s All-Natural.

Nellie’s has generously offered to sponsor a giveaway for my readers. The winner receives a 50 load bag of Nellie’s All Natural Detergent to try themselves. I’m confident that you will love it as much as I do!
