As a cloth-diapering mama, I always look for laundry soap that is free of perfumes, dyes and other unnecessary and even harmful chemicals. I don’t want all those nasties on my babies’ bums and I don’t want it building up in my diapers, eventually causing possible absorbency issues and more.
I’ve searched the shelves in the grocery stores, and you pretty much can’t find laundry detergent with those qualifications, so I have turned to online sources, where I just recently learned about Nellie’s All-Natural Laundry Soda.
It’s hypoallergenic, leaves clothes soft, fresh and residue free. Most of the laundry detergents that you find on the shelves today are mostly just filler. You think you’re getting an awesome deal on a huge box or tub of soap, but in reality, you’re paying for a bunch of extra nothing, (or worse, a bunch of extra chemicals.)
Nellie’s All-Natural Laundry Soda is a concentrated, filler-free formula, meaning you only need one tablespoon per wash to get your clothes perfectly clean, even for large loads! Besides saving you money, this reduces packaging waste and makes it more economical for you to purchase online than other brands, (it’s not as heavy to ship!)
You can purchase the Laundry Soda in 50-load bags for $9.99 each, or, to save even more money, buy the huge, 1101-load bucket for $124.95 (plus about $15 shipping.) This comes out to be about 12.5 cents per load, which, compared to other brand-name, chemical-filled laundry soaps is crazy-cheap!
You can also purchase the smaller bag sizes from Amazon if you’d like to take advantage of free-shipping perks with your Amazon account:
I have used another brand of unscented, hypoallergenic laundry powder and was mostly content with it. But I love how well Nellie’s dissolves quickly and completely, even in cold water washes! My other detergent will often leave undissolved granules on the clothes in a cold-water wash and I’d have to run another rinse cycle or two to get rid of it all…not with Nellie’s! I will definitely be keeping some handy at all times now for my cold-water laundry!

I’d love to win – thanks for the chance!
I still haven’t found a detergent that I really like for my diapers. This is one I haven’t tried though.
I make my own detergent, but sometimes worry about the Borax.
I wash with cold & my homemade soap doesn’t always dissolve…
I want to try this.
I like the ingredients & if it really dissolves in cold water, saving me an extra rinse cycle…. yes please???
The awesome vintage packaging is enough to make me wanna buy it!

I love Nellies! Did yours have the peppermint scent to it? When I opened it up it almost blew me away! I love how it keeps the clothes free of smell!
Sounds like a winner this product!
Only 1 tablespoon to wash?! That sounds great!!
I always check amazon for my baby (and everything!) needs.

I’m currently finishing up a bag of another CD detergent/soap, but when that one is done, I’ll be trying this brand next — thanks for making the introduction
Good to know that it works for cold washes too, my natural detergent needs warm water to work.
I think I’m going to have to try this. I use the earthiest soap from the grocery store, but I’m not crazy about the chemicals, still. I used to use soap nuts, and thinking of trying some other options.
I like how you wrote Nellies dissolves well; the detergent I currently use, does not.

Did you know you can use that washing soda to make your own dishwasher detergent, too?

I haven’t tried Nellies yet, but it sounds great. I would love to see how it works on our cloth diapers
I still need detergent for my diapers! I would love to try this
I’m still haven’t found the perfect detergent for our diapers and would love to give this one a try!
I love Nellies, I use the oxygen bleach the most

Still trying to find the perfect CD detergent – definitely need to give this one a try!
This seems like it will be better than what I’m currently using. Off to order some now!
I LOVE soap that works well in cold water! It has taken me a while to find good detergent for CDs, so this one might be worth a try!
Only 1 tbsp per load? That’s awesome. They should make scented laundry soap, too!
I, like a lot of the other posters on here, LOVE to hear that it rinses well even in cold water! I like to use homemade laundry soap.. but hate how it doesn’t always rinse out.. Would love to try this! Especially to prevent build up in the fluff stash I am trying to assemble for my little man!
I have heard of Nellie’s but never tried it. I have used a few different Natural detergents for my cloth dipes but I have also had troubles with them dissolving in cold water. I will definitely have to try this one!
I would love to try this, I love that you only need 1 tablespoon!
Wow, I didn’t know that about the filler in other brands…it would be weird to use just 1Tb. Thanks for the great review!
Would like to try this product but the shipping is way to high for me. 15$??
I’ve wanted to try Nellie’s since I started cloth diapering 2.5 years ago. Mostly it’s because I think the tin is super cute, but now I know it actually works well too. Thanks for the review!
Love Nellies! I like that it even works in cold water and can’t complain about the cost. In canada you can now buy it in bulk at Costco which makes it even cheaper!
Love the packaging! Glad it works in cold water

I’d love to win! It would be nice to find a “green” detergent that could get my baby’s diapers really clean!
This would be good to try… I am new to cloth diapering and haven’t yet found the best detergent to use.
I like the sound of this detergent! It seems pretty affordable, too.
I love the retro look on the package, too!
Sounds great! And looks affordable. Love that it’s hypoallergenic too!
I will try any all natural detergent, as long as it is fragrance free, at least once! The packaging is just too cute!
i like how this dissolves well i have a problem with my current soap
awesome! i usually use the same cd-safe detergent and would love to find another one that works on cloth diapers and gets my whites clean too!!!
