Bosisto's Sensitive Laundry Powder

Actually I'm using the pods, for sensitive skin, for approximately 2 months, I've discontinued using them because it's absolutely rubbish, scratching irritating skin, doesn't even clean your clothes, and even when you triple the pods in a load, i have to wash twice and even that's not enough. Nope, I'm going back to Surf liquid Show details

Disappointing no more 10kg Buckets – The 10 kg bucket was great and I believe it had the old formula as I wash it in 40 degrees and it completely dissolves never any clumping, Not even in the bucket which is 4 months old. You can't buy it anymore. The most is 6kg, which is very disappointing for a family that uses it every day. I've used this for years. I just changed to a brand called Euco. It's just as good and smells the same, and they are 10 kg buckets.

All Australian washing powder!! – Please. Take time to hunt this product down. Bosisto's Ecalyptus Washing Powder. It is brilliant!! Dead set!! But annoyingly they don't do anything to promote themselves. I have rung them up and tried to suggest that they do more marketing, but nothing happens. I have asked store managers in supermarkets to put it back on their shelves. No, get… Read more ·  4

nothing from Bosisto's at all, just the pleasure of buying and using it. The company is all Australian (made and owned) since 1852!

The powder is all natural and is very low allergy.

You might need to check a few different supermarkets in your area to see if it is stocked. But be diligent in your search because, if they do have it, Bosisto's will be given only one box width of space on the shelves. At around $10 per kg box, it is great value.... Much cheaper than the $5 boxes imported from overseas.

Because when you buy Bosisto's, you buy excellent quality, very safe on skin - low allergy and low chemical product... AND you help keep some of our Aussie heritage alive.

Please help me to keep this Aussie silent legend alive.

Enjoy! ☺️

Saved my health – About three years ago I had the worst allergy. I was stuffed up in the head, my nose would completely block up and I was giving my husband a run for his money in the snoring stakes (no, seriously!). I thought it was seasonal, but after about four months it was still going on. And it happened mainly at night which was weird. I tried everything,… Read more ·  1

natural remedies, prescription tablets, over the counter nasal sprays, everything, but nothing worked. So then I started a process of elimination, because SOMETHING had to be doing this to me and it had been two years now I was putting up with this, and it was making me sick and tired because I wasn't getting any sleep from not being able to breath properly. But when I changed washing powder - eureka!!! I found the problem. My allergy disappeared within three days, and has not returned. Thank you, Bosisto's, and I just can't tell you how brilliant this product is - everything I wash with it smells lovely, it cleans everything really well, but first and foremost it - saved my health. And yep, just discovered purchasing online is way cheaper than getting it from the supermarkets.

Outstanding product offers fantastic results and is extremely economical to use – We found Bosistos Euco Fresh by recommendation from a few interstate friends when we made the shift from Top Loaders to Front Loader washing machines. We had moved interstate and had not noticed the product available for purchase where we used to live, then had to replace our washing machine after the move, so started looking for a decent FL… Read more

detergent product. You can also use it in TL machines however. I was a bit sceptical at first if it would actually work, as my experience with enviro kind products has not always been good when it came to cleaning and to not irritating skin, but I was really almost shocked at how awesome the product is! I think it cleans better than many other products that cost far more per load. We get at least double the number of washes from each box than the box indicates because we use a front loader that needs so little detergent to clean well and because Euco Fresh is concentrated and not padded out with fillers in each box that do not actually clean.

I believe in general TL require about double the amount of recommended dose compared to FLs to clean well because they use so much more water, which would make sense. So our routine is for a full load in our 8kg FL washer, that we halve the amount recommended for FL's, and if the wash load is smaller than full capacity we reduce proportionally the amount of detergent we need.

We love that there is no skin irritation as half of the members of the family have ultra sensitive skin that is set off by the slightest residual detergent residue in clothing. Its very water soluble and has no fillers so there is no white flecks of junk all over the clothes when done, and the lack of fillers is encouraging for the environment from our research into different options as well as not shortening the life of our washing machine.

Love that it actually cleans. Old clothes are cleaner than ever before. Tea towels that had some stains on them are now actually properly clean. We didn't expect that. We have boys who are little grots that amaze me how they can stain clothing and how well this product cleans those stains off! We had our replacement washing machine die 6 months into use as it was a faulty product, and have replaced that with a different brand of FL, but we are not switching out not our laundry detergent! My Mum has just replaced her washing machine and switched to Euco Fresh herself because we are so pleased with it. So is she now, and she has a septic tank as she lives in a rural area. No dramas. I have become a poster girl for the virtues of this product to all my friends and family.

It was important to us that the product be not only kind to the environment, free of animal testing and free of animal products, but that it also is suitable for sensitive skins. And that it was safe for FL machines. I detest the thought that most laundry products that are dermatologically tested are not tested on people but are still using animals or benefiting from previous testing of animals to produce the products that are suitable for sensitive skins. I am not an extremist animal liberationist by any stretch, but I see no reason to justify why animals should suffer just so we can have laundry products that dont irritate our skins, when there is a choice today. There are some enviro and animal friendly choices out there but not all work well to actually clean clothes, and some irritated my skin and that of my child. We have tried many products to find one that delivered for us. We like our clothes properly clean, and I'm more than very impressed on both counts with Euco Fresh!

We now have a Miele FL now and it washes everything so clean. Stuff we are sure will not wash clean in one cycle comes out amazingly well cleaned. It did so before with a different less great brand as well using Euco Fresh. We routinely use less than half the recommended amount and if we accidentally use more than we meant to, the machine we have tells us to use less detergent, it is so effective! Our machine knows when there is too much detergent for the amount of water that is used with front loaders and it flashes up a message to check how much detergent we use next wash.

Because of this we find we are not going through huge amounts of laundry powder as before with the volume of washing the family produces each week, and that saves us money.

Not just because we can use less but because it gets the clothing cleaned first time around. We do use a stain pre treater on hubby's work shirts for the collars and cuffs as they are generally filthy and would be a huge ask of any laundry product to shift without some help. Most of the time we use water temp 40-60 degrees because we have children that make clothes grotty with sports and school activities. I have seen there is never residual soap left behind in the washing dispenser bin that gets washed during use, even when we do use a cold wash. We always dry the detergent dispenser in the washer before adding any detergent. What convinced me of its awesomeness was how clean the kids socks were after using Euco Fresh, that before were never properly clean with other brands of products we had tried from a range of manufacturers. I think we must have tried a good 10 different sorts of products until we found Euco Fresh. Some required ridiculously huge doses of detergent to use with each load. What was gross was that we realised that for months or years our clothing had not been actually properly cleaned with what we had been using before, and it was shocking to realise the waste of money there was involved and that our clothing was still not clean despite previously using "premium" big brand expensive products, not all of them Aussie owned either.

Euco Fresh is Aussie owned and Aussie made. In this economy especially homegrown and home owned is a great thing for this country- the best option.

I love the subtle fresh smell when I scoop out the powder before starting a load that doesn't make my eyes water and induce sneezing and coughing. Being so sensitive to chemicals I normally simply cannot use heavy fragranced products in the laundry or any other part of my life, and most other products are too fragranced for my skin to tolerate, or if they aren't, they have been tested on animals so I won't buy them.

There is no smell in clothing when the clothes are dry.

Unlike some other products on the market, there is no problem using Napi San to soak biologically nasty stains first or adding a bit of it to a laundry load to boost a really disgustingly dirty load of sports gear as there are no chemical reactions that are dangerous.

We have been using the boxed variety as it is easier to find at Woolies or Coles, but we are so happy with it that we are going to see if we can find a hardware store that sells it in the bulk buy bucket and then dispense some into a smaller laundry container for everyday use, and store the bucket in the garage. This will work out even cheaper than our smaller box cost per load does.

Oh and I want to add, when our last washing machine died, and we were being mucked around by first the retailer then the manufacturer for weeks whilst trying to organise a refund, we had to do a lot of hand washing. It worked brilliantly for that and I really appreciated that with just two rinses by hand in fresh water we had removed any residual soap from the things we were hand washing. And they were clean. Normally when I have had to hand wash before it was rinse at least 4 or 5 times in fresh batches of water, and still the water would be cloudy and there would be bubbles...and overall results were still not great.

We also love that even the plastic liner, the scoop and the cardboard box are able to be recycled when we are finished each box.

Highly recommend it.

I really can't think of a bad thing about this product! Except a minor niggle is that it would be nice if supermarkets and independent stores would also stock the bulk buy bucket super sized offering so it is easier to find. Cleans like there is no tomorrow, no fillers, enviro and animal friendly, Aussie Made and Owned

Best on the market – We've been using Bosito's for years snd won't use anything else. Fabulous for sensitive skin, getting clothes clean and it never ever leaves that caked white powder behind. I've tried all the other brands and none compare. No wasteful huge scoops necessary with Bositos. So yes it lasts longer so it's value for money too. And it's Australian made and owned. It ticks every box. Show details ·  1

Great washing powder – Recently purchased Bositos washing powder and it is fantastic!! Great for my families sensitive skin, leaves a lovely mild eucalyptus scent on my clothes, cleans well and always dissolves well in my front loader (Apparently used to be an issue with this powder). Overall very happy, actually so happy that I purchased the 10kg tub on their website. Highly recommend  Show details ·  1

GREAT LAUNDRY POWDER FOR SENSITIVE NOSES – Been using this lately and it's great for my sensitive nose with no strong smells or after effects. I suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity and find this one leaves my washing without nasty chemical or fragrance odours! Also am asthmatic so perfumes are a huge 'no no' for me on anything. Show details

Clothes falling apart at seams after use – I usually use Cold Power but switched to Bosisto's as I wanted something "low tox". Since I made the switch, I've noticed that a number of my clothes have started coming out of the wash unravelling at the seams or with threads hanging off like the powder is causing the thread itself to dissolve. I've also noticed some of our darks have faded… Read more

considerably. I really wanted to like this product but I feel like it is destroying our clothes, so I'll have to switch back to Cold Power. I did use one whole box (I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt), but have decided I will not repurchase.

Ineffective cleaner and does not dissolve fully – Never again will I buy this product. The powder does not dissolve and forms huge clumps in the laundry powder dispenser of my front-loader. Show details

5 years of suffering with a face and eyelid rash - Never suspected it was being caused by this product – I use many Bosistos products and have used the washing powder on and off for the past 5 years. Over this time I developed a face rash that was limited to the sides of my face and eyelids (I am a side sleeper). Never did I suspect it could be my washing powder as it is supposedly safe on sensitive skin. I never considered that washing powder… Read more

residue could get onto my sheets pillow slips and towels and cause a reaction. After seeing dermatologists, rheumatologists and immunologists I have finally worked out that it was infact this product causing my problems. After a week of not using it and changing washing powder my rash has gone. Please list ingredients on box! This product gave me irritant contact dermatitis.

STRIPS colour from clothes !!! – Am single elderly lady so, small light washing only. This product totally stripped colour from dark coloured shorts...leaving water in machine black. Same cothes previously washed many times before and hadn't lost colour. SENSITIVE ??? Hate to think what Bosito would do to SENSITIVE skin. Newly opened box, now in bin. Never use again. Show details

Stained my shirts like bleach – Washed 2 shirts in washing machine with Bositos laundry liquid now my shirts are stained they only goog for rags now it's like their is bleach in the detergent never use it again I will go back to dynamo don't say no bleach when I think it has bleach added to it Show details

Was excellent not now – Had problems with this does not dissolve it sits in the powder dispenser in small chunks. I thought it was my machine I pulled the dispenser draw out of the machine & cleaned it, my machine was getting on in age, was it something to do with my tank water? No none of these after reading these reviews now it’s happening to other people. This was a… Read more

really good product but something has been changed, it’s a waste of money! If you’re on tank water you don’t want to be washing your clothes twice because no powder has gone into your wash. Also who has the time to re wash what has been washed all over again?

Is this even a laundry powder? – I don't know how this product is still on the supermarket shelves, it doesn't dissolve when added into washing machine, instead it seizes and clump into one hard lump. The clothes still smell like sweat after wash. Throwing the whole box away, never buy again.  Show details

Will never buy again – Washed doona covers .went to put back on bed when changed doona cover in two weeks had a bad smell,as some of my windcheaters had the same smell,will never buy again. Show details

Useless product – I had previously used this laundry powder and had no problems. However when I bought a new container it just clumped together in the dispenser tray. I used a hot wash and there was no difference. I wrote them an email on 29/06/20 and got a generic, auto-email back. I have heard nothing since, yet I see they are quick to respond to reviews here.  Show details

Cakes together, doesn't prevent sweat smells, need to use warm or hot wash – The powder cakes together, so to even get it to work I have to pre-mix with hot water or else it sets like a rock in the container. The clothes also still have quite a heavy sweat smell even though the powder contains eucalyptus. Would never buy this again. Show details

what happened to the formula? – I thought there was something wrong with my washing machine until I read all the other reviews here - cement-like cake of powder left in dispenser at the end of the wash. I've been dissolving and putting though the dispenser - but that's not ideal. Someone suggested making more of a paste - I'll try that. I really, really really want to like… Read more

and use this product (which I did until this latest box).

It would be nice to hear from Bosisto - what changed? and why?

I wanted to love this product – Like other recent reviewers, I found that the powder would cake up and form solid blocks in the detergent dispenser. My machine (a new Asko) then started making clicking sounds at the start of each wash cycle. They'd eventually go away as the water heated up, but it was as if more detergent was caked up somewhere in the machine itself. I can… Read more

always clean a detergent dispenser, but the rest of the machine? Ouch.

I got rid of the clicking (touch wood) by running the drum cleaning cycle on the Asko. Machines without that feature can just run an empty wash cycle on the absolute max temperature in the hope of shifting this stuff. Crossed fingers, it can't be permanent can it?

Sorry Bosisto's, I respect your company and so wish you had a killer product rather than a washing machine killer product. I've gone to Omo Sensitive but I wish I didn't have to.

It was great before – I believe they reformulated this, for reasons beyond me because this new formulation is utterly useless. After finishing a wash, i noticed that the powder had not dissolved and it was clumped in the dispenser drawer. It looked and felt like a block of stone. The old formula did not have this problem. I've resorted to adding the powder directly to… Read more

the tub of my front loader. Not ideal but neither is having clumpy powder that doesn't clean clothes. I'm looking at euca and dirt now as they're also Australia made products. It's a shame. The old product was so good.

Worse laundry powder – Does not disolve in hot or cold water, waste of money, had to pull out chunks of laundry powder from where i put them. Very disapointed when you want to support aussie companies Show details

Left a thick waxy blue residue all over my washing machine and sheets that I can’t remove – This product covered my washing machine and sheets in a thick waxy substance that has been impossible to remove. The substance also took the colour out of my blue sheets, so the waxy substance is blue in colour. My sheets are covered in it and when I got the sheets out of the washing machine bits of this blue wax fell all over the carpet, marking… Read more

it. I don’t know what is wrong with the product but I am tearing my hair out trying to clean the thick residue off my washing machine so I can use it again. Generally I love Bosisto products, but this washing powder is seriously flawed.

Used to love this powder...not now! – I bought a new washing machine and put a scoop of Bosistos in the drawer for the first wash. One hour later I came back to find a lump of eucalyptus scented CONCRETE in the dispenser drawer! Very unhappy. I’m going shopping in the morning to buy something else. Show details

Powder Not Dissolving – Like others, the powder did not dissolve and clumped together. 1st time trying this and I come here and read a lot of ppl have the same issue. I normal but the liquid which I love and tried the powder as I want to buy in bulk but very disappointed..... Show details

Have been very disappointed lately – Had switched to using most of your products because Australian made and less chemicals. Lately the washing powder has not been dissolving and clogging up my dispenser. Was happy to pay price, but not now. My daughter in law has same problem. Show details

Not as good as I expected – Have had good results from this product previously until i bought the 10kg tub. The washing powder now clumps in the dispenser of my front loader washer even when using only half a scoop per washing cycle. Only way i have been able to prevent the clumping is to pour boiling water into the dispenser at the beginning of the washing cycle. Apart from… Read more

the clumping this product does clean well, smell nice and I like to support Australian made and owned products but improvement is needed as I will switch brand if the clumping issue is not resolved and I do not recommend buying the 10kg tubs as it’s a lot of powder to get through when not 100% happy with the product.

Very unhappy with the change in formula – Some months back, the box style and scoop size changed. This doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that like other reviews here, the powder is seizing up in the dispenser, leaving a crusty blob at the end of the wash. I have been using this product for years, and been very happy until now. Batch # on last two boxes used ( and still using) is… Read more

22615. The boxes I bought last week have no batch number on them (helpful!!!). I opened one of the new boxes, and tried a wash with that, hoping previous ones were faulty batch, but still same problem. I have gone out to their customer serviced well over a week ago, and they have not responded. Extremely disappointing! As I have been a loyal customer for years, and wish to buy Australian owned and made. It's not a cheap product, and I'm now thinking of buying the liquid instead. Doesn't help with the 2.5 boxes I've got sitting here, which are poor quality.

Won’t dissolve – Not sure what has changed in your formula but the powder won’t dissolve. I’ve opened the draw to find a hard blob of hardened powder on multiple occasions. Your old formula was great! I’ve had to throw out the entire box and use something else. Show details

Scoop size almost doubled! – They increase the size of the scoop supplied to almost double the original size. Something fishy is going on, does it mean the new formula is not effective that we have to use double the amount for one load ? Show details

Finally! An Outstanding Performance! – I have autoimmune disorders and have tried so many other similar products. I feared lackluster results were my lot. So grateful to have bright, clean, fresh-smelling sheets and clothing again! Show details ·  1
