I have used the non-HE version for years in my old TL because I have lots of allergies to anything that stinks. When I got my FL I moved to the HE version and it is just as good. I use a tiny bit - about a TBSP - on a small to medium load and everything comes out clean and stink-free. Target frequently has it on sale and there are often coupons in the Sunday paper for $1.00 off. And it doesn't eat my clothes like Tide used to do.

Call the company and ask a question. They will send you a coupon book with coupons not only for All, but for a large number of products they make! I have been using All Free & Clear for many years and switched to the HE version a few months ago. I have actually reduced usage to 1/2 TBSP on most loads. Our cloths don't get very dirty and our water is not hard. Seems to work fine.

Works fine for me, and he's a mess maker! I haven't found the All F&C HE in powder yet, but I'm just thrilled to finally have it at all. For years I had to use small amounts of regular All F&C, which didn't work well because it created too many suds. My laundry-life has been much easier since they came out with the HE version. ;-) Sensitivity issues are often due to poor rinsing. Your skin reacts to the detergent residue in the clothes. If there were no residue, there would be no reaction. The solution isn't necessarily to stay away from enzymes, which do a heck of a job cleaning, but to stay away from poorly rinsing detergents, and to reduce the quantity of detergent used to the proper level that cleans sufficiently and rinses well. Tide is notoriously poor at rinsing, so it's not surprising that enzyme residues are a cause for problems. I think you may be alright with Bi-O-Kleen, Ecover, or even Sears if you dose it properly -- 1 to 2 TBS, no more -- and use a machine with at least 3 rinses.

I knew you'd be proud of that deal Mama! That load of colors is out of the washer and everything look brighter, and I'm impressed with one pod's cleaning ability. Load was done on cool which was 74F. I'm looking forward to continuing to use these on colors. When I had them last time I only used them on whites.

Anyone use Biokleen Free and Clear Laundry Liquid?
Q
Comments (4)
Biokleen liquid detergent was horrible for my machines. It’s not a true he detergent (last time I bought it was a couple years ago so could of changed). It states to use less for he machine which means (to me anyways) that it’s not formulated for those machines. The free and clear lacked enzymes which I like in detergent. I do have good success with biokleen premium powder laundry detergent though. It does have enzymes and cleaned cloth diapers really well. Love many of the biokleen products just not their liquid detergents. Bonus was it is made in my home state of Washington too :)

Hi Pat, I decided to try Costco's exclusive ALL F&C formula as my MIL has been using it exclusively for several years and she swears by it. They do a lot of laundry in her house (6 adults) and I've been paying attention to their clothes. Everything they wear always looked clean, stains were removed from tablecloths, clothes didn't appear to wear too quickly, etc, etc. I took the plunge and finally bought a bottle which runs for $10.99 on sale every other month or so for a huge 158 load bottle. I've been very impressed with it's performance. It gets my laundry clean, soft and well-rinsed. I'm still on the fence as I haven't tried it yet on everything...Haven't washed my napkins or bedding with it yet but so far it hasn't let me down. My 96-load bottle of Tide F&G is nearly empty, so I'll be using this ALL liquid for mostly everything soon. I also have Tide Purclean Free which I use on laundry that I don't want OBs and ALL Free powder for heavy duty loads including workout clothes and microfiber cleaning towels.

I use All Free Clear 50% of the time and All Baby the rest of the time. I don't sell laundry detergent or appliances.

Been using All Free clear since i first had a FL 7 years ago and have not had an issue with oversudsing or poor cleaning results. I think it works great for FL's.

I'm using All Free&Clear in my old TL - FL is still on order. I did notice that it says "for both HE and regular machines" on the bottle - is there a separate 'HE only' formulation? Or does this mean that I'll be fine to keep using this bottle after the FL arrives?
