Sunlight, share your results.

11 years ago

With so many of us buying this detergent I think its time for everyone to post results after you use it.

Also I'm assuming Larsi is not going to buy this huge box of detergent so if no one else already has I'm going to get some in the mail to him. Larsi, I can't make it to the Post Office Tomorrow in time I have to leave the house very early to go to children's hospital, but I'll get it mailed Monday morning.

    This stuff is extremely low-sudsing. Like a Zero Suds detergent. I've only done one load with it, so I can't give a fair review... But it did a good job on a medium-sized load of Towels, and left them extremely soft.


    It smells really clean :)

    I saw it on Walmart Canada.com, right next to the Tide Professional, mama :) There is also a Sunlight Deep Clean. I have seen it used on wash machine restorations on youtube, and it is well spoken of. I don't want to commit to such a large box, but I am curious about what everyone thinks about lemon-scented laundry.

    I'm using it on a load of darks as we speak. Jeans that are stained and some everyday nuttin fancy hangout clothes. 140 degree wash to give it a really good shot at getting some life back to these jeans. I will post results later.

    Hi Donna, does your washer start at 140 deg or heat slowely up to that?

  • 11 years ago

    Asko. Cold water hook up only. Heats up to 205! :0)

  • 11 years ago

    Ok I was just wondering if the temp stayed down below 140 long enough for the enzymes to work. Lol

  • 11 years ago

    Those Asko's aren't just pretty, they're super advanced ;)

    That was a lucky day for you Donna when you said *I Do* to the Asko. Lol

    "I do" love these machines! Ok, the load was washed at 140 degrees using 1 1/2 tbsp Sunlight and 1 tbsp borax. ( don't ask why I just did because it was there)

    No extra rinses needed. Not as many bubbles as I would have thought when compared to Persil @ 140 degrees. Hardly any truth be told.

    Jeans and other items came out very clean and spot free.


    Sadly there was no leftover lemon smell. Just clean smell.

    I also used 1 tbsp Downey unscented in the rinse.

    Donna - I rarely have any scent left in clothes with the Asko. The detergent amount is so minimal and the rinses are thorough.

    There is always Lemon linen spray..a little spritz as your folding the towels and you have lemon scented towels. I'm sure Sandy can vouch that this works and if you buy some pure lemon essential oil you can make your own spray bottle of the stuff for pennies.

    Last night I washed a load of white kitchen towels with the Sunlight. No STPP or any other booster, 135 deg water temp, and 1/3'rd cup Sunlight, and I shut the machine off for a 30 minute soak...zero suds. They all came out clean, stain free, fresh smelling and soft. So far I'm liking this stuff. Even a smaller dose makes my wash water super slick, and even though there's no Lemon scent after the rinse everything smells very fresh and clean. I'm liking this better than P&G offerings, so far, except for Tide with Bleach lol...that will always be my favorate. LOL.

    I spray everything except laundry with lemon lavender essential oil spray. Lol. I've been getting crazy and using some lime or wood oils in the mix too. My towels get scented by the soaps that cure in the closet. Lavender chamomile and oatmeal honey for another week :).

    MAMAP...YOU are the kindest, sweetest woman. Please do not worry about packaging and mailing me Sunlight, especially when you have to go to Children's hospital. If and when you have time, then you can send a little Sunlight. May I pay you for shipping, please?? XO

    P.S.

    I private messaged you via Houzz ;)

    Sandy, you are making me want to make some soap and I am already overloaded!

    Load of lights in the washer. 2 tbsp Sunlight and hardly any suds.

    I foresee a box of this on my shelf in the very near future.... thanks Mama for starting this thread, and to everyone else for the input!

    Joel dear, your Welcome, but all the credit has to go to our adorable Sandy and our Equally adorable Mich as these two are the ones that found the Sunlight at Big Lots.

    Larsi, I think I will have the Sunlight in Monday mornings mail, and no you may not pay postage haha.

    I also have some other packages to go out. Isnt this such great fun, sharing, our treasures. Lol.
