It should be noted that I use the Free & Clear version of this, it is hard to find, but does exist.
I searched long and hard for just the right detergent for my reusable cloth menstrual pads and I found it in this product. Most of the reviews on washing performance for reusable cloth products is on diapers, but much of that applies to pads as well. This product was highly recommended, the regular and free & clear version. They don't lift the color or damage any waterproof linings (like PUL) and it's amazing at removing blood, which is known to be very difficult to remove. No new horrible stains for my liners or clothes. I use cloth pantyliners as well and tend to hand-wash those and my pads and this doesn't dry my hands out the way Woolite does. It is very concentrated just a little fills the sink and washing machine up with suds, but it rinses clean in warm or cold water. I have very sensitive skin and tend to get stains on my clothes because of my part-time job and this product is tough on the stains, but gentle on my skin.
I wish I had bought this sooner, I could have prevented some permanent stains that Woolite, nor All could rid my liners of. Though use of this detergent combined with Bac-Out did lessen those old stains a bit. I'm very happy with this product, it is far superior to the name brand detergents, is biodegradable unlike almost every detergent you will find at the grocery store, no animal testing or environmental damage of other kinds and since it is concentrated it is comparable in price to brands like All and Tide. If you are not comfortable buying online then check your local specialty grocery stores, they may not carry it in the store, but often like one near me, can special order it for you from their warehouse.

Borax might be old fashioned, but it is the best cleaner I have every used!And it is all purpose...you can use it in every room for practically every cleaning need including dishes and in your laundry!The nice thing about Borax is that it doesn't have any perfumes but instead naturally deordorizes while it cleans.I have used 20 Mule Team Borax also to remove stains from fabrics effectively.I have also used it instead of harsh cleansers for my sinks, stove, and countertops.Overall, I recommend 20 Mule Team Borax as an economical, higly effective, and natural cleaner.
