Dark Wash Woolite Review - Extra Dark Care Laundry Detergent

Amanda has shared her Dark Wash Woolite review, of the Extra Dark Care variety.

Amanda says:

I had quite a few winter clothes that I did not want to keep taking to the cleaners to have them cleaned. I didn't like the way they smelled after they were cleaned--the chemical smell was obvious to me.

I decided to try washing them in Woolite, made for dark clothing, instead. I saw some commercials about it, and knew it had been around for a LONG time, so I felt pretty comfortable using it.

Since I had not used it before, I filled my washer with water first, added the Woolite and then mixed it together before I added my dark clothes. It worked beautifully. My clothes were very clean and there seemed to be no smell at all.

I put them in the dryer and that was when I ran into a little problem. As I took them out of the dryer, I noticed what seemed like a chemical smell--not really strong, but a faint chemical-like smell. I didn't think much of it, but when I wore any of the clothing I'd washed in the Woolite it was just a little itchy wherever it touched my skin. Not enough to create a rash, but not very comfortable.

When I looked at the bottle I realized that the instructions should have warned me off...statements like--do not let it touch your skin, and keep away from eyes. I think this is the last time I'll be using Woolite for laundry.

Taylor says:

Thanks Amanda for your Dark Wash Woolite review. It sounds like you have a mild laundry detergent allergy, and so you might want to try some hypoallergenic laundry detergents.

If you need a delicate wash detergent it is more difficult to find hypoallergenic ones, but they do make them.

I'm curious, does anyone else use Woolite for darks to wash their clothing? How does it work for you, especially in regard to fading of colors? Please share your Woolite laundry detergent review here, or read others already submitted.

In addition, you can share your laundry detergent review here, for any brand, telling me what you like, or dislike, about it and why.
