Chemicals?
Just have to add that it is of course naive to say that anything, including this laundry cleaner made of nuts, contains NO(!) chemicals. And of course once the word "saponin" enters in, we're back in the wonderful world of chemicals. Contrary to the company's website, it is also incorrect to claim that this tree is unique in its production of saponins. Saponins are abundant throughout the plant world, from the bitter coating on quinoa to the root Chlorogalum pomeridianum, which was used by Native Americans to kill fish (all the better to catch them).
I use Trader Joe's "Next to Godliness" brand of powdered detergent, in a front-loader. At 1/8 cup per load, seems like it's maybe a bit moot, and for everyday laundry, it does a great job.
