Larsi, try a load with either Downy Clean Breeze liquid FS or a Bounce Outdoor Fresh dryer sheet. I think they pair great together after drying.

Thanks Dorey. I do not use dryer sheets in the Miele, as it is a BIG NO NO in a Miele, but I do have Clean Breeze liquid FS (which I kind of love).

Thanks for the recommendations!!! :)

Maybe the Bounce Bursts will do? Lol. I figured you didn't use them.

Glad to see Purclean getting some love from Larsi! It is a great product IMO. It's a good balance of environmentally friendly but still fights the tough stains on my kids clothes. Scent is very light after drying, not overwhelming at all, and dissipates down to almost no smell at all, just clean! And the unscented version is now available, at least in my area it is!

I keep seeing this on end cap displays in the store. I didn't bother after seeing blah reviews, but maybe I'll give this one a try. I'm allergic to some Tide formulas but I'm not as sensitive as I used to be. $1.99 is a great price. I'll have to dig through my coupons.

This weekend I smelled a few bottles of the honey lavender scent and agree it's not as strongly scented as the original formulation. I'm kind of scared to try it again since my washer doesn't rinse well.

littlegreeny....Thank you for this. I'm glad I did not imagine the scent was softer and better, even dare I say more natural smelling.

It is kind of sudsy during the wash cycle, but if not overdosed..it does rinse ok. BUT....if you overdose, both wash and rinses are BAD!

I like it, especially for $1.99. I do like Tide he turbo liquid more and German Ariel gel even more. Also, still beyond loving the Grab Green lavender vanilla powder pods. Amaaaaaazing!!!!

One day I'll probably get a small bottle for dark dress clothes since there's no OB's. I also want to remind everyone that OB's don't fade darks..they can give the appearance of dusty looking blacks, as if you dusted furniture..but OB's wash out provided you wash them in a OB free detergent lol.

Larsi's bad influence again haha. My GG lavender vanilla pods are enroute. I've been holding off on doing sheets until it arrives. Should arrive tomorrow. Wasn't sure what scent to try but thought I'd go with that one.

@ livebetter....just bought TWO more bags of GG lavender vanilla powder pods. AMAZING. The scent in the bag is NOT great, IMO, but after rinsing and drying.....heaven!!!

Larsi, I couldn't decide between Geranium and Lavender. I was concerned the geranium would be too floraly so opted for the lavender. From reviews I don't think it smells much like lavender or vanilla so hopefully I like it. Should arrive today. Hoping the scent is pleasant and it lasts for a bit. People seemed to say the scent lingered.

Livebetter....I love vanilla, but generally despise lavender anything. These GG powder pods smell strangely not much like vanilla or lavender, especially when smelling inside the bag!

If you air dry or partial dry...the scent lingers for sure!!! When I use them and then dry the load to completion (100% dry), the scent is very faint, but very pleasant!

The cleaning capability of these powder pods is phenomenal though!!!

Larsi, it arrived! OMGosh ... I actually like the smell in the bag. It's strong but I think it has to be to leave enough when dried. I'm usually disappointed so this is a good start. Now I'll need to know what geranium smells like lol. Laundry will happen tomorrow.

I'm curious about the powder in Water Lily scent now too. I can get via Amazon.ca I think. I wonder if anyone has tried it.

They were giving out samples of the Tide at Costco today so I grabbed one.

The GG powder is actually formulated differently and does not contain TAED, which is too bad because I was looking forward to using it in the cool prewash cycle. I smelled the bag at TJ Maxx and actively disliked the Water Lily scent though.

Good to know. Thanks.

I just got the Tide pur honey lavender for my darks. The scent is very subtle. Love it! My clothes feel softer after too (but that's probably in my head!)

I found the unscented variety at the local Meijer..so HAD to pick it up. I did take a whiff of the Lavender and it smells less intense than I remembered before. I would have been ok with it..perhaps they cut the fragrance down or my nose was less picky

So I used my Costco sample on towels and I really liked it. I'm pretty sure the towels felt softer than with the GG or Leblanc. The scent left was light and pleasant. In a moment of weakness, I brought it home from Costco. Oy ... you guys ... I need to purge big time lol.

I was told by a lady working at my local Walmart that this stuff made her towels and other things feel much softer. Liquid detergent can make things feel softer than powders, its the absense of carbonates. This lady though only uses liquid and swears her things are much softer than other liquids leave them.

I just bought a big one at Costco too! On sale for 12.99. I use a mix of powder and liquid, but I do feel it makes clothes softer than the other liquid I use!

My Costco doesn't carry it. How many loads do you get for $12.99?

Coupons for this detergent is all over the place..I still haven't bought it. I could kick myself for giving away 5 samples I had.

littlegreeny- I'm in Canada, it says 64 loads and 100 ounces.

Thanks akl_vdb. That's a pretty good deal. I tried it when it first came out and the perfume was way too strong for me. It's got a much lighter scent now.

It's such a soft scent! I have gone years with scent free products so am really sensitive.

I noticed Big Lots has the 100 oz bottle for $10.00. I'm thinking of going there on my lunch hour tomorrow and grabbing one. I don't need any more detergent but that's never stopped me before!

Its at Ollies also which has me wondering why.

Hard to say when it comes to closeout stores. Items maybe discontinued by the manufacturer or it could be overstock. Big Lots also has original blue Dawn dish soap and I know that isn't being discontinued!

Several Houzz members have contacted P&G, and they have confirmed that PurClean is NOT being discontinued, scented or unscented. It is selling quite well, it's a good performer and with no optical brighteners..ideal for darks. I use it every week for blacks and navy!

That's exactly what I want to use it for Larsi :)

Stopped at big Lots and grabbed a bottle today. I think these may be at the discount/clearance stores because they are the 100 oz size. The large bottles at Target, Walmart, etc., now are 75 oz.

Well after trying out the Tide PurClean on several loads this month, I don't care for it. Too many suds and something in the fragrance bothers my asthma and allergies. Into the pet shelter detergent donation box it goes.

I'm over it lol. Still have 3/4 bottle and I convinced a bunch of people to buy it. I'm so fickle haha. Too sudsy and I find the smell a bit too sweet.

I also find it sudsy. I'll have to do an extra rinse. Or use a bit less.

Still using this and still LOVE it, along with grab green pods and cal ben sea foam soap. LOVE all 3 of these I'm very happy with all 3.

I am loving Tide PurClean right now -- no OBs and I got the "free" version. If it continues to clean as well as it did yesterday, I'll be happy. Thanks to greeny for mentioning this version. I may use it for more than darks.

You're welcome Pat! I've been using the free version of Purclean along with the Lemishine powder laundry booster on my sheets. They've never been cleaner and feel wonderful.

I just did towels in PurClean and a Tide Brights booster. Nice.

I will get the Lemishine booster tomorrow. I appreciate your advise so much.

miami, are you still liking the PurClean?

Hi Pat! YES! Purclean is my top detergent for dark clothing! I still am using it and loving it. I recently bought the unscented one for my husbands dark office shirts and I use it with the method beach sage dryer sheets for a light clean finish.

Pulled mine out today and used it. I do like it and the scent. Thanks for the reminder lol.
