Clorox Green Works Natural Detergent and Stain Remover Review

How many of you hate laundry? **Waves hand furiously from my work desk** I complain about laundry more than any other household chore, and cannot wait for the day that I have a machine big enough to keep up with my family. I am always on the quest for products that make my most hated task easier, quicker, or more pleasant.

We've started making strides to live healthier and in the process, we've started weeding out a lot of our cleaning products that contain harsh chemicals and replacing them with "greener" alternatives. I've researched ingredients in many beauty products and common household cleaners, but for some reason never really thought about the chemicals that are present in our laundry detergent and cleaners.

As I've mentioned before, my kids have very sensitive skin. I am very sensitive to smells in detergent and fabric softener, and have stuck with my current brands of detergent and softener for well over 6 years now.

Thanks to our friends at MomCentral, our family was given the opportunity to try and review the brand new Clorox Green Works Natural Detergent and Stain Remover.

When I first received the cleaners, I smelled it to see how overwhelming the scent was. Frankly, it was light and airy, (not floral at all), and not the least bit nauseating. This alone was a BIG plus for me.

I read a little bit of the bottle and found out that Green Works laundry cleaners are great to use with high efficiency washers as well as regular machines (which is what I have); and it's safe for both colors and whites. The bottle read, "Green Works laundry cleaners are plant-based that clean with the power you expect from Clorox." I definitely hoped so, as I need a heavy duty detergent for my messy family's clothing.

I decided to try the Stain Remover on Brian's work pants, as the knees get filthy every single day. I sprayed his pants, threw the load in, added the detergent, and walked away. I then read the bottle, and the directions say to start the washer first, add the detergent, then the clothing.. Oops. I hoped for the best, and let the machine continue.

The clothes came out fresh smelling, and after they emerged from the dryer I noticed that the colors were still vibrant, and the stains were gone. Needless to say, I was very impressed at the quality of the cleaners combined. (Another big plus!) All in all, I must say that I am very impressed with the results I've had so far using this detergent and stain remover.

What makes these cleaners different from other cleaners on the market is that these natural Green Works products don't leave harsh chemical residue behind on your clean clothes- your clothes are truly CLEAN. The Laundry Detergent is 95% natural, and is recognized by the EPA for safer chemistry.
