Works well enough for most washes, available in 5kg bulk packs
Pros
NZ made, not tested on animals, cheap, low fragrance. Packaging can be returned at some retailers (where it is shipped back to them for recycling).
Look for the 5kg bulk packaging at places like Moore Wilson's too - it's cheaper again.
Cons
Raw performance isn't as good as Active tablets
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
