32. Their Formula Is Junk

Same with the Amway "fizzy" powdered laundry.
They use way too much sodium lauryl sulfate which has poor hard water tolerance. Just a few ppm causes precipitation and reduces micellar concentration.
The Shaklee product used to have actual soap in it too. It's very hard water intolerant & works poorly in warm or cold water.
Those products are all hype and are FAR inferior to most store brands.
