Nellie's Laundry Soda Bucket, 500 Loads

Five hundred loads in one bucket: this is Nellie's Laundry Soda bought the way a busy household actually uses it. At a typical six or seven loads a week, one bucket keeps the washer supplied for well over a year, with no mid-year reorders and far less packaging than a shelf of small containers.

The soda itself is the same four-ingredient formula Nellie's makes in Canada for every size. A dense, concentrated powder, it dissolves readily in a cold fill or a hot one, and the rinse carries every bit of it away, so clothes come out without a trace of detergent left behind. Nothing in it but those four ingredients: no phosphates, chlorine, fragrance, optical brighteners, gluten, or solid synthetic fillers, and it's septic safe.

How to use it

One small scoop, about a tablespoon, per regular load. Heavily soiled or oversized loads take a little extra. The practical bulk-bucket routine is simple: keep a smaller tin or jar beside the washer, refill it from the bucket, and keep the bucket lid sealed in a closet or basement where the powder stays dry. Add Nellie's Oxygen Brightener to white loads when you want extra brightening.

Who it's for

Families, shared houses, and anyone committed to a phosphate-free laundry detergent powder who would rather buy once than often. It also suits cold-water households, since the soda dissolves fully at low temperatures.
