- Saving my purple shirt
-
I have a bluish-purple dress shirt I wear to work every so often. A few weeks ago I noticed a stain near the front pocket. I had no idea what happened or what stained the shirt.
I've been using SA8 since I started working at Quixtar/Amway Global four years ago. I've always liked the results. I find that the commercially bought laundry detergents actually sped-up the wearing out of my clothes, and half the time didn't get them that clean either. I would notice small stains and dark marks near the cuffs of my pant legs and around the pockets. When I started using SA8, these went away and my clothes seemed to last longer.
What I want in a laundry detergent are the following things -- 1) that it work, 2) that it not cost an arm and leg, and 3) that it is environmentally friendly or green.
A few years ago, I tried Ecover, a European line of green cleaning products. And I will say, this stuff is really good. Its hard to find though, I had to buy it at a local health and natural produce store since its not sold in the larger box stores. I liked Ecover because it is a truly green line of home care and laundry products. However, it costs more than SA8 and LOC and after trying them side by side for a while, I prefer our stuff. I know that sounds self-serving because I work for the company, but its true. Our stuff simply worked better and cleaned better. And our laundry line, SA8, was superior in every way.
Our cleaning products were green before green was popular. SA8 contains no phosphates. Its gentle on my clothes. Its concentrated and isn't overly expensive. And it works.
Now, returning to my purple shirt. I used the liquid SA8 stain remover, let the shirt sit over night. Then I washed it. I had to wash it twice and I was careful not to dry the shirt since that would have set the stain. As usual, SA8 did the trick and my purple shirt was saved.
Have you tried SA8? Are you a regular user? Any complaints? Comments? Let me know what you think.
