Cost per load: 10-14 cents
Not only is this Biokleen laundry detergent powder a great value, it's also eco-friendly, free of fragrances and dyes, and doesn't contain chemicals like phosphate, chlorine, or ammonia, either. According to the manufacturer, the number of loads per box will vary depending on whether you have a HE (high-efficiency) or a standard washing machine. For HE washers, you don't have to use as much detergent, so you can do about 150 loads compared to 100 loads for a standard washing machine. That comes out to about 10 to 14 cents per load, a very reasonable price, especially if you prefer washing your clothes with a scentless and greener laundry detergent.
At 10 pounds, it's practically a workout to carry this box of powder detergent around, but for such a great bargain, it's worth the effort.
What fans say: "This product works exceptionally well. It’s very affordable, not tested on animals, and environmentally friendly. I would be happy to use this forever."
