Guide Review - Arm and Hammer Plus OxiClean Laundry Detergent - Laundry Product Review

Church & Dwight, Inc.'s, producer of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda since 1846, venture into the laundry detergent business has been quite successful. Baking soda is a known detergent booster - helping detergents perform more efficiently - and they put it to good use.

In 2006, Church & Dwight acquired Orange Glo International, the parent company of OxiClean. The addition of this oxygen-based bleach to Arm & Hammer detergent helps remove stains and acts as a whitener and brightener which is safe for all washable fabrics.

Arm & Hammer Plus OxiClean performs well on heavily soiled laundry and is gentle on delicate fabrics. I feel it performs well in cold, warm and hot water. The detergent has a clean, fresh smell.

My only complaint is that measuring lines in the cap are impossible to see and I must be careful to not add too much.

Arm & Hammer has joined other detergent manufacturers and is now offering two choices in single dose laundry packs: Arm & Hammer Toss 'n Done and Arm & Hammer Crystal Burst Power Paks.

    Highly allergic, horrible rash, Member jedward1981

    Tried Arm and Hammer Crystal Burst packs as an attempt at a cheap and decent alternative to Tide. Huge mistake. After 3 days of wearing/using laundered items with the packs I had a horrible rash on my face, neck and arms. No choice but to go to a doctor. He diagnosed with my contact dermatitis and put me on a weeks worth of oral steroids. Still miserable, red and itchy. Food and other irritants were ruled out. The doctor speculated the contact occurred initially when I thoroughly cleaned my face and arms with a laundered towel, I just wrapped up and aired off after. Unfortunately I have to switch back to the more expensive Tide, however when you factor in the cost of doctor visits and medications, the cost per load with Tide is cheaper.
