This bucket of soap has lasted me nearly an entire year and now I'm ordering my second one. It would probably last me longer if I had a new water saving washer, but I have one of the old washing machines that uses 50 gallons per load. My clothes come clean with just 1/2 cup of this detergent per wash and has no scent after the wash which I love. Finding a detergent that doesn't leave an odor behind is difficult anymore. My clothes are clean and soft. At under $4 a month, this purchase was well worth it. I am very satisified.
