Okay, I just went and ordered a sample of each kind. It's worth a try.

Keep us posted metaphysician...

I would like to hear how well these pouches work and how well the detergent can be rinsed out of the clohtes.

Their web site says that the pouches give just the right amount of cleaning...something like that. How do they know how much detergent I will need for a small lightly soiled load? How about a large load that has heavy soil. You surely don't need the same amount of detergent for both of these types of loads.

That's the same thing that bothers me about the pouches like this for the dishwasher. Not every load needs the same amount of detergent, and I hate to waste my money unnecessarily. I'll bet this costs more too. OMG! 60 loads for $25.00! I pay less than $6.00 for 60 loads now! Think I'll stick with the All Free and Clear HE.

I usually use Persil Megaperls and Miele detergent powders both of which cannot be considered cheap, but I am only using teaspoons to tablespoons full and each purchase lasts for about 19 months. I still want to hear how this detergent cleans and most of all how well it rinses out.

I went ahead and ordered the samples.

They are based in Philly, and I recently read an article about them. I have seen them for sale at Target a couple of month ago, though I don't recall an "HE" symbol on the package at that time.

Joe do you remember the name of the company? which Target...the one by Snyder Av?

Joe never mind. I went to the web site I got the INFO...even at whole foods too.

Wal-Mart has them for sale for less but it looks like they have them online only.. I think they even have free shipping.

The only thing I wouldn't like about these is that I adjust the amount of detergent I use based on the load size. If you always do a full load it would be OK. Some things, like hand-wash items, only fill the washer 25% to 50%. I would think that the "dropps" would have too much soap for such a small load.
