Country Save Users?

I am going to try this detergent... we have the powder available here and everything is else just not working for us! Does this detergent need to be used exclusively or can something else be used on clothes? How much do I use? We have a brand new top loader... TIA!!

I have just started with Country Save. Before, I used Allens Naturally Liquid. I made the switch because I wanted to use one detergent for everything (diapers, clothing, towels, etc.). Through Amazon's Subscribe and Save program, I was able to get Country Save for a super duper low price.

So far, everything has come out of the washing machine very clean and fresh. I use half the amount recommended for top loaders (so, half a scoop). Diapers always get an additional rinse, while everything else gets an additional rinse on occasion.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!! I did my first load of diapers the other day and used half the amount (it said 1/4 cup for top loaders so I used 2 tbsp) and it seemed to work very well!! I will start using it on all our clothes if it keeps working but I want to use up our old detergent first... The box that does 80 front loader loads is 6 dollars at the commisarry here.

I buy it at our Commissary too! Just wanted to head's up though that if you have hard water, you may end up having to use the full scoop amount for a full load of dipes. I used to use half the recommended amount but eventually found that it just wasn't getting things fully clean and there would hardly be any suds. CS rinses so well that even if you see quite a bit of suds in the wash cycle, your second rinse should be completely clear.

We use Country save on everything. It was great on dipes, and still good on clothes. I sometimes add a couple drops of lavender eo to the rinse for stuff I want to smell "nice"; I also use simple green as a spot/stain treatment. We've been very happy with it.

I'm glad to hear good reviews!!!! We use Calgon water softener with our diapers and I never do a full load so I think the half amount seems good for now... but I will definitely try more if it seems needed!!!

I use country save on my dipes and Trader Joe's stuff on my clothes. I found that county save faded my clothing quickly... but then we do wear a lot of black in this family.

I just stared on Country Save, too. I plan on using it for all our laundry, including the CDs once the baby is born! I really like how economical, easy to find, and clean-rinsing this detergent is. I don't think I've heard a negative comment about it, ever. A good find!
