If you are a stay-at-home mom you will understand what I mean when I say that during the summer there is always more work to do than usual. The kids are home so there are more crumbs to clean up off the floor, more laundry to do, arts and craft supplies are all over the house, toys in every room, dishes piling up in the sink, and bathing suits and towels everywhere! Hey, Mom needs a break too. Why does everyone else get a holiday, and mom doesn't? Image via Wikipedia My husband

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great for Sensitive Skin!
This brand of detergent, both the Free and the Magnolia and Lilly are the only detergents we have found recently that doesn’t cause my wife to break out in hives. We made the mistake of trying 2x concentrated Tide and she broke out in horrible hives. Several weeks later and a lot of loads of laundry done in Ecos and we are finally getting things under control. Great product, cleans great and easy on the skin.

4 Stars Product good; shipping bad
I love the bulk purchase and the eco-friendly soap. But all three items I’ve ordered through Amazon have arrived damaged and leaky. I hope Amazon can rectify this.

5 Stars Great for babies
This is a great product for babies or people with sensitive skin. I have three children under the age of 4, with some other detergents they would have a skin reaction. I have found this to not only make our clothes clean but it also does not leave a residue which means things like towels actually come out fluffier than with regular detergents.

I’ve used it in both front and top loaders and it cleans well in both, if used in a top loader it takes twice as much per load.

I would not hesitate to recommend it for use.

5 Stars Safe for my baby
I was concerned with some of the negative things I’d heard about Dreft. So, I came to Amazon and did some research to find a recommended laundry detergent that had no fragrance and was safe for babies. “Ecos Free & Clear” is what I wound up buying, and I have been very happy with it. My son is three months old and we have only used this detergent for all of his clothes and blankets. It gets them clean and does not irritate his sensitive skin (which the detergent his grandmother uses does, so I know his skin would be reacting if the Ecos wasn’t as gentle as it advertises to be.) I am very happy with this product and will continue using it for his laundry. Also, a little goes a long way, a bottle lasted us two and a half months!

5 Stars great soap
This soap is excellent. The sending of it was a disaster, however. All the caps were loose, leaking soap all over the post office. Hence, I got gypped by losing about 16 oz. of product. Thanks a lot. Good deals are not always what they appear to be. Buyer beware.
