Review: Method Laundry Detergent
April 7th, 2010
When I first saw the new Method laundry detergent, I was skeptical. $17 for a 50-load bottle? It didn’t seem like a deal, and though I like Method, it’s never been a brand I’d go out of my way for. But a few months later, I’m still on the same bottle and now on the Method bandwagon.
Small bottle, big results
I used to pick up a jug of detergent every couple weeks, by habit, just adding it to the grocery cart, assuming I’d run out. But now I don’t need to. No more schlepping! Needless to say, I’m a convert.The reason it lasts so long? The pump top means you don’t have to squint for fill-to lines or dump way extra detergent in because it’s a big load. (Confession: I totally used to be a dumper. The dirtier the load seemed, the more I would pour in.) All this takes is two squirts for a small load, four for a regular and six for an enormous load.
Performance wise, it’s measured up, too. While it doesn’t work perfectly for make-up or curry, it does take out raspberry and blueberry stains, and the dispenser tip is perfect for spot cleaning and stroller stains. And the best part? It’s a one-hand pump, meaning you can hold baby with one arm, and do laundry with the other. Brilliant.
