Soak Laundry Soap – No Rinse, Plant Derived Hand Wash Detergent - 375 ml / 12 fl. oz, 75+ Washes (Fig)

I purchased this item because it was recommended by the NY Times Wirecutter. They are the first place I go for product recommendations, and I trust them. When they recommended this product, I was sold. When I found out I didn't have to rise after using this, SOLD! This product is so lovely. These 12oz have lasted me a long time. I only use it for delicates and fabrics that need particular care, like a beautiful wool sweater I got in Iceland. If anything happened to it, I would cry, so this is my go-to care for it. The scents of this wash are light and lovely. They are not perfume-strong - more like an essence so your clothing smells clean without smelling like its been through the wash, if that makes sense. I have sensitive skin, and I don't want to use a lot of dyes or perfumes right next to my skin. For more stubborn grime, or clothing that needed more attention, I would let it soak overnight or do multiple soaks. I'd swish the clothes around every 20 minutes or so. When the water looked dirty, I'd drain it out and start over. I needed to do this on a trip where I really needed to clean some socks that weren't coming clean. I washed with shampoo in the shower (no washing machine available). That wasn't enough, so I followed up with Soak, and that really stepped up the cleaning. I'm not sure what the magic was, but the overnight soak was amazing. And, no, nothing is left over. You really don't need to rinse it out. You just gently wring out the excess water then hang to dry. That's it! I didn't notice a film on my clothes or anything else. They looked, smelled, and felt so clean. I always pack a travel size now. I have to make my own bottle, but it's worth it. I can wash my undergarments in the sink and let them dry while traveling, which cuts down on how many I need to bring, but I always have a fresh pair. I'm also using something specifically designed to actually wash them. Shampoo is nice, but it's still shampoo.

I love how gentle this is, it’s great for handwashing my delicates. I think it’s quite a simple product to use because you can use it as a soak. It’s a bit expensive, but totally worth it if you’ve got a lot of delicates. The scent isn’t super strong, which I appreciate because I’m a bit sensitive. I would totally recommend this product :)

I'm not a fan of handwashing, but I've recently begun wearing compression for health reasons, and my washer doesn't 'do' cold water, so here we are. Bonus: all my sweaters are clean now, too! This is the first no-scrub-required detergent I've tried, and I'm impressed! It really does work. A little gentle agitation doesn't seem to hurt, but just leaving the clothes in over night seemed to do the trick just as well. I even used it to loosen up the grime on my AC filters after not cleaning them all winter, and they look good as new. No idea how it works, but I would certainly trust it with anything fiber-ish. I went with 'Lacey' for the scent, and I don't mind it too much though I'll probably try a different one next time. It smells a little like flowers and a lot like bubblegum, but it mostly reminds me of going through a car wash with all the colored foam options. It doesn't linger much after washing, just enough that things smell fresh.

Truly scentless so if you have fragrance allergies go ahead and try it. It also seems effective yet gentle and easy to rinse out. I found it through a third-party product review and pulled the trigger. The small amount I've found I need per hand wash also makes me think that one bottle will last a long time. Very happy with this product. Will buy again.

Soak itself is awesome. I've been using the pineapple for years and just bought the mint. A no-rinse detergent is GENIUS and a time-saver. I've used this in both a washer tubing in my mini portable washing machine to great results. You don't need a ton, so a bottle goes a long way (though a bottle has gone from $12 to nearly $20 since 2021). Soak has only a hint of scent, though, which is awesome for my sensitive nose. But if you're a person who needs everything to be perfumed to hell, this isn't for you. That said, if you're buying this from Dainty Baby, beware because the seller needs to be more conscientious about packaging items for shipping. Like other people, my product arrived without being bagged and with the lid partially unscrewed. That meant liquid detergent leaked onto other items in my box. I was REALLY lucky that other sellers wrapped my purchased clothing in sealed plastic bags; otherwise, this seller would have ruined them. I hope Soak takes note because experiences with bad seller packaging taint the brand, even if the manufacturer had nothing to do with it.

Okay so a little backstory. Washer broke a while ago, but I'm a lazy bachelor who's worked mostly from home since the pandemic lockdowns. So outside of my active wear, I just don't generate a whole lot of dirty clothing. I've got my favorite work-from-home sweatpants and you don't need to know how long I can go without washing those. I have two pairs and I keep those suckers on rotation. Anyway I got into just handwashing my clothes a couple years ago since I do smaller loads anyway, but I was using store-bought detergents meant for washing machines... Just about half a teaspoon of detergent in a couple gallons of water, a little hand agitation, then walk away for about 30 minutes before rinsing. It definitely works, but it always felt like it took too many rinses to get the dang stuff out of my clothes... which led me to some intense 5 minute internet research. So now I've discovered Soak. Apparently you ladies out there knew about no-rinse detergents like this a while ago for your delicates and such, but you never told us men... Alright then, keep your secrets! Well I found out anyway and so far I'm impressed. I've only used Soak for a few loads so far, and so far so good. It cleans and freshens lightly soiled clothes very well. The fact that I don't have to rinse it is the biggest selling point for me. It saves a lot of water, and it makes the way I wash clothes feel even more low effort. I just Soak a couple clothing items, wring em, hang em up on the rack, then go back to whatever unproductive thing I was doing. Very easy. Lazy man approves. I have not yet tried this detergent on heavily stained or soiled clothes yet, but I'll give it a try. Even if I have to pull out stronger detergents for those situations, I think Soak would still be worth it for lightly soiled items like a t-shirt after a wear or two. So I definitely recommend this product.

Worth the price, gentle on fabrics, smells soo good, & gentle on skin.

Spectacular product makes caring for silk and sea island cotton apparel a dream. Easy to use, excellent results with whites coming out bright and colors vibrant. Very concentrated and no mess, no fuss and nice to know the ingredients are all organic. Clothing is soft and smooth and no lumps or stickiness.

Ho letto di questo prodotto sul blog di Ruth Reichl, poiché è stato altamente raccomandato da lei. Ho dovuto provarlo per me stesso e sono contento di averlo fatto! Un po '(un cucchiaio) a un litro di acqua fa molto, molto in termini di potere pulente e profumo delicato. Anche il venditore ha imballato molto bene l'articolo, quindi è arrivato senza perdite. Molto apprezzato!

parfait pour les tricots

Parfait: il suffit de laisser tremper et pas besoin de rinçage: idéal pour bloquer un ouvrage ! Je m’en sers aussi pour les canapés, les tapis , les paillassons et les matelas, j’en suis très satisfaite

Sehr ergiebiges Produkt. Ich wasche damit nach jedem Besuch im Schwimmbad oder am See meinen Badeanzug im Waschbecken aus. Dass kein ausspülen erforderlich ist, ist super, weil es Zeit und Wasser spart. Der angenehme Duft (bei mir Ananas) verfliegt mit dem trocknen der Wäsche ebenfalls, was ich auch gut finde. Die Dosierung ist sehr genau und leicht möglich, wodurch ebenfalls nicht unnötig viel Waschmittel verwendet werden muss.

Was recommended by Peller & Rigby for washing underwear. Has certainly kept mine in shape and colour, so easy to use. Soak 15mins , no rinsing
