Ya'll I live in the county and we have well water, which is known to have the hardest water in my state. The water is so hard that it causes our dishwasher and laundry machine to break down faster. Needing a laundry soap that is built to handle hard water is crucial, otherwise your clothes do not get clean and you can feel a residue on them. I bought the dish washing spray when it was on sale at my HEB and it worked great. I bought the dish soap to use outside to wash my chicken feeders-as it's eco friendly and we do have a well. It cleaned scum off those feeders fabulously to my surprise. Was not so eager to try it on my dishes, I thought green meant it does not clean as well. We ended up changing our lifestyle later on and introducing clean products and I found out this was one of the FEW clean laundry soaps out there and when I found out it was designed for hard water-I had to try it out. The price was right, much cheaper than tide and for having clean ingredients-this price is a score.I did not have to use as much cleaner, I noticed after the first load. I put it to the third line and it did not rinse, then I used less (1st line) and not only was there no residue, it was clean and my clothes smelled so clean, the scent was not overpowering. It smelled like how your clothes smell fresh from drying in the sun on a line. My clothes have not felt this clean in awhile. It got out stains and it was gentle on our clothes and bedding. I went and made another purchase three days after purchasing my first, incase the price go's up-it usually does when people find out how good something is.With all the crap in everything now days, it's terrible to walk around in clothes washed in toxic chemicals that cause everything from infertility, hormonal problems to cancer and people are none the wiser. Your body is against these chemicals all day and your skin is just soaking them up and people wonder why they are getting sick. It is wonderful that we now have options instead of using only what was once available at the time. I would highly recommend this product, not only for the cleaning power and how well it tackles hard water, but for the health of you and your family.
