Natural Laundry Detergent (ARV $11.99): Now your clothes, linens and towels can get the Green Works® treatment. Our new detergent is dermatologist tested, safe on colors and made with natural, plant-based cleaning ingredients. And clothes washed in Green Works™ natural laundry detergent won't leave a harsh chemical residue and are gentle on skin. Yet it still cleans with the power you expect from Clorox.

Stains on my boys’ clothes are inevitable, so I was eager to try out the Natural Laundry Stain Remover. Smiley Boy had a small pizza sauce stain on a white jumper, so I sprayed some of the Stain Remover on the stain, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and then washed it and the rest of the clothes using the Original-Scent Natural Laundry Detergent, which is “specially formulated for both standard and high-efficiency washers.”

When the load was done, I immediately noticed the fragrance, which is a change for us because we usually use fragrance-free detergents. The fragrance was not over-powering, but I personally would rather use a fragrance-free detergent, and fortunately the Natural Laundry Detergent is also available fragrance-free

The clothes were as clean as I expected them to be, but the pizza stain was still a bit visible, but this could be due to various factors. For instance, I didn’t wait 5 minutes (the directions on the bottle say to “wait 1-5 minutes depending on the severity of the stain”)—I only waited about 2 or 3 before putting the jumper in the wash, and the stain was a day old (the bottle says “for optimal performance, treat stains while still fresh.”).

Next time there are stains on the boys' clothes I will make sure to treat them immediately and wait the full 5 minutes before washing, and hopefully I’ll get even better results!

I love that Green Works offers “greener” laundry solutions, offering me and other consumers out there an alternative that’s safer for my family, and safer for the environment too.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Clorox Green Works and received a bottle of Green Works Natural Detergent and Stain Remover to facilitate my review and a $20 thank-you gift certificate.
