5.0 out of 5 stars Children sensitive to laundry detergent? Try chemical-free Vaska!, April 17, 2010

(What's this?)

My wife used Tide exclusively for her front-loading washing machine. However, the Amazon Vine offer to try Vaska Lavender Laundry detergent was too good to pass up. We have one son who suffers from allergies; he is sensitive to heavily-perfumed detergents and cleaners.

We're more than halfway through the 48-ounce bottle and can see, smell -- AND FEEL -- a big difference in our laundry. The laundry is much softer. We've tried whites, colors and heavy loads of bath towels. Each comes out clean with a mild lavender scent and, most importantly, softer than Tide loads. (NOTE: We have a high efficiency washing machine, so we only use a cap full for each load.)

How much do we like Vaska? We placed an Amazon order for six more bottles. That may seem like a lot to spend on laundry detergent but the order works out to less than 29 cents per load, which is competitive with other laundry detergent brands. We didn't pick the scent-free version as the lavender was pleasing without being cloying (our son reports no problems with the new detergent).

In summary, we give Vaska a five-star rating and recommend it to families with children sensitive to the chemicals in other laundry detergents.

I bought a case of Vaska on a recommendation of a friend and I haven't been disappointed. The first thing you notice with this product is its pleasing smell. The lavender scent is clean and not overwhelming. As far as the cleaning power, its great! I've been using it for several months now and I couldn't be happier with Vaska. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a high quality, environmentally friendly detergent.

(What's this?)

The first, and most obvious, question to ask about a revolutionary new detergent formula is: does it get the job done? The answer, based on my experience after several washes, is a definitive "yes!" Vaska's detergent formula really does manage to clean my family's clothing - and with active children in my household we do put a lot of wear on our wearables. I haven't had a chance to really test it on various stain types, but for clothing with normal wear I've been very happy with the results. Plus, I really like the scent - the lavender aroma is very nice and fresh, and not overpowering. Part of that seems to be due to the fact that the scent is not there to overcome an underlying chemical smell. The active ingredients in this formula are botanical and non-toxic.

One thing I really like about this formula, especially given that my kids are starting to do laundry, is that it really is not made up of what are essentially hazardous chemicals that make up other detergents. I was pleased to note in the safety instructions that if this detergent is accidentally ingested one should drink plenty of water to dilute it. All of our other detergents warn that one should drink milk and then see a physician immediately!

I also really like the fact that this formula is made of non-pollutants. Detergents do get into the water supply and end up in rivers and streams and in the ocean - and I am impressed that this formula will not add undue harm to the environment as this happens. There is no chlorine, no dyes, no phosphates or alcohol and no animal products in here. I'm very impressed with what Vaska has done, and hope that this represents a new trend in household products. I'm looking forward to trying their non-chlorine bleach, but I'm impressed by what I've seen so far and expect to keep using Vaska.
