Era Detergent With Oxi Booster Review - Cleans And Removes Smells For A Lower Price

by Bonnie
(Sandy, UT)

Bonnie has shared her Era detergent, with Oxi Booster, review.

Bonnie says:

There are a lot of factors on why I've chosen Era for the last few years running to wash my clothes. This include that my clothes smell clean and fresh, it makes stuff clean, and it's lower priced than most other brands.


Personally I don't like my laundry detergent or fabric softeners to have much of a smell to them. I just want to make sure that it gets my clothes clean.

So, one cap full will eradicate any lingering perfume, smoke or doggy smells from my clothes, while with most other detergents I've had to put two cap fulls in just to be assured that my clothes aren't smelly.

The clothes do come out perfectly clean with Era so I haven't seen a need to make any changes. I like to use Era with Oxi Booster, since this seems to fight stains the best, in my opinion.



The biggest test is when I wash my dogs two fleece blankets and they come out perfectly clean. I mean these blankets go through a lot in one week so I'm pretty sure just because of this I'm staying with Era.

Lastly, the price is a big concern for me when buying detergent because I don't have to do the double cap thing and its usually 2 dollars less than most other brand names.

Era Liquid Laundry Detergent Review - Fights Stains Well But Hate The Scent

by Drew
(Davenport, IA)

Drew has shared his Era liquid laundry detergent review.

Drew says:

I work for a major retail company. I am around liquid laundry detergent all of the time.

Additionally, due to my specific duties, my clothes become quite soiled and dirty.

I find it interesting and fun to experiment with different laundry detergents. I have the opportunity to be one of the first to smell the scent of new laundry detergents as they arrive.

This review is about Era liquid laundry detergent, the base kind, called "Active Stainfighter" formula. Where Era excels, without a doubt, is stain removal, in my opinion.

My clothes tend to be soiled by a wide variety of messes. Anything from typical dirt, grease and grime to my lunch, which often includes spaghetti sauce. Era did not let me down while fighting and combating these stains.

These stains are also often set in by as much as 7 days. This is due to only doing laundry once a week.

Era does disappoint in the nose department, however. While it does not leave any odor behind in the clothes, it does not smell appealing to begin with. I liken the scent of Era to aged garbage honestly. It's not enjoyable like many of the others.

On the other hand it's not overly scented with fufu stuff. So it can technically be a positive.

Taylor says:

Thanks Drew for sharing your review. I guess you are a braver soul then I, because if I thought something smelled like garbage I don't believe I would have washed my clothing in it. I guess the bright side is that you say it does not leave an odor behind in the clothing after they are washed.

If you read the other reviews that have already been submitted, you will notice that others say this too, about a mild or light scent after the clothing is washed (not about the garbage smell). Some people like to have a lingering scent, while others don't, which is I guess one of the many reasons there are so many formulations of detergent out there.

If anyone else has used this detergent you can share your own Era laundry detergent review here, or read additional information about it.

You can also share your laundry detergent review here, for any brand, telling me how it has worked for you.

I Now Use Era Instead Of The Cheapest Detergent Possible

by Lori Beth

Lori Beth shared this review of Era detergent on Stain Removal 101's Facebook wall, and then graciously allowed me to share it with everyone here on the site.

Lori Beth says:

Laundry detergent is something I used to always try and get the cheapest way possible. But I got tired of pretreating and also stains not coming out.

I have been using Era Original for a couple months now and I no longer have to pre-treat, and also everything comes out of the wash looking brand new.

It is totally worth the 8 bucks a jug to me because I was having to throw out laundry from too many stains with every cheap thing I tried.

Oh, and I am in no way affiliated with Era. Just a housewife who enjoys someone telling me about awesome products, so when I find one I tell everyone I know :)

Taylor says:

Thanks Lori Beth for sharing your review.

The discussion we were having on the Facebook wall which spurred this discussion was based on this opinion from a reader which I had published, where she explained why she believes people need more low cost laundry detergent options.

Do you think Era is a good deal for the money paid? I'd love for you to share your opinion here.

Era Detergent Reviews - Pros And Cons

by Kathryn Hillman
(MI)

Kathryn has provided her Era detergent review.

Kathryn says:

In the past I used liquid Era quite often.

The best thing about it is that it’s very reasonably priced, and that really helps out when you’re strapped for cash and have lots of laundry to do because of kids.

I used it when I lived in an apartment and had to go to the laundry room and pay for washing and drying. It really helps to have that extra few quarters.

However, I’ve found Era doesn’t really have a long lasting fresh scent after the clothes have been washed.

Having fresh smelling clothes, towels, and linens is important to me; I hate that musty smell, especially working in fast food, with lots of grease and food odors.

Era’s stain-fighting power also left something to be desired.

Since then I have found that it is worth it to spend the extra few dollars and get extra concentrated detergent with baking soda.

Taylor says:
