Allavare Reviews 25

fantastic product, but it is proving impossible to get hold of anyone to discuss an order. Emails bouncing back, no reply to messages on socials...

Have been using Allavare for over 6 months and love everything about this company and their products. Their natural laundry powder with no colours, fragrance or nasty chemicals washes better than anything I’ve ever used including other eco products. Washes well at all temperatures, great stain removal and laundry smells so clean and fresh. Their handmade not mass produced process and undyed cardboard and paper packaging makes me very happy too.

I love Allavare’s laundry powder. I’ve been trying to find a laundry solution which cleans clothes well, and this has honestly exceeded my expectations. It’s the best laundry detergent I’ve ever used, better than all the shop-bought ones I’ve tried. One bag has lasted me 6 months, and the clothes have always smelled incredibly fresh and felt cleaner than ever. Thank you 😊

I'm absolutely blown away with these laundry products. I was sceptical that a gentle laundry powder would both be gentle on my very sensitive, eczema prone skin and clean my laundry well but my goodness it does. Stains that my previous powder didn't touch come out effortlessly with the stain bar and the Pure laundry powder and my skin that is normally irritated by stain removers has not reacted at all. I'm a life long customer. Thank you Allavare.

Best washing powder I’ve ever used. Laundry smell fresh and clean. Been a customer now for over a year, would never swap for anything else.

Absolutely brilliant! It handles the everyday and heavy soiled farm clothes washing amazingly and is great for our sensitive skin. I've been using it for 6 months now and it has been a game changer for our family, would definitely recommend it.

The oxygen bleach is amazing. Best thing I have used to get out stains. I have a 3 year old and he wore a white shirt on holiday, got pasta stains all down the front which I thought I had got out (with another stain remover) I got the shirt out the cupboard the other day to realise that the stains were still there slightly, soaked in the oxygen powder and they are completely gone! A very old stain and it’s magic! The normal washing powder gets all stains out usually with just normal washing. I’d never ever go back to shop bought rubbish stuff now.

Wow I’ve been blown away by your Natural Oxygen Bleach!. We’re having building work done on our house at the moment which means lime, cement and brick dust everywhere. The dog has been getting it all over himself and then rolling all over the bed. Our duvet was filthy and despite washing, the stains weren’t coming out so I followed your instructions as per hard-to-remove stains and it came out as good as new and the whites were so bright! So so impressed!

The products themselves are great and effective so no issues there.

However, it's a nightmare to use for any wash lower than 40. The instructions say to dillute it in hot water. This in itself is a nightmare and when you dillute as much as you can and do a 20 or 30 wash, there's still white bits everywhere because it hasn't dissolved.

Again, products are good if you use them as intended, but doing only 40 or higher washes are not realistic for the clothes I buy and im finding it hard work to use it for 30 or less.

I had the problem of drying to remove dye stains from white bed linen. The sheets had ‘dry crocking’. The blue dye of the garment had rubbed onto the white sheets. I was cautiously trying different products to remove the dye stain but nothing was working. In the end I contacted Ed; he replied the next day.

Before receiving Ed’s reply, in the meantime, I had decided to resort 'very cautiously' to using bleach. I never normally use it, but up to that point nothing else had worked and I wasn’t sure which Allavare product I should use. I started by diluting the bleach in cold water and after soaking the sheet, I made sure I thoroughly rinsed because although I had ensured I had diluted the bleach, it can still damage fibres. I'd very carefully repeated soaking the sheet in the diluted bleach and cold water solution up to three times and also rinsing the sheet thoroughly in between soaks. The stain had gone from dark blue to grey.

I then received Ed’s advice on how to try removing the dry crocking dye stain with the Natural Oxygen Bleach. Ed suggested:
“I think the best solution for this would be to hit it with very hot water and lots of Natural Oxygen Bleach.
So fill a large bucket with very hot water from the tap and dissolve 2 tablespoons of Natural Oxygen Bleach.
Once fizzed up and dissolved, submerge bed linen and leave for about 6 hours.
Then wash as normal.
Do not dry or tumble dry until the stain is lifted.
You may need to repeat this process a couple of times.
After your first soak and wash, if it's still there, send me a picture, and we can go from there.”

I put two and a half table spoons in the washing machine. The sheets came out white. All the grey had gone. I'd only needed one wash. I didn't tumble dry but left the sheets to dry in their own time in case there was any residue that could get locked in. They are white now.

I would like to thank Ed for his advice and being prepared to help me further with the problem. This is true customer service and genuine interest in his area of expertise.

So now, but hopefully not again, I know how to handle dry crocking! I won't be using the bleach. I'll follow these instructions because they did work.

I would like to thank Ed again, very much, for responding. I'm very grateful.

Fantastic customer service, excellent products and a company of genuine quality and expertise.

Hands down best non-toxic laundry powder, that ACTUALLY works!

I had tried alll of the "eco" brands and variations out there in different forms (sheets, liquid etc.) and nothing comes even close to how effective allavare is. We have 2 small children, one in cloth nappies and one in school (so lots of muddy outdoor adventures as well as the usual baby sick, poop etc.) and this stuff really cleans everything thoroughly! I love how fresh they come out and have zero fragrance! Love this stuff and wish everyone knew just how much better it is for our health and the planet. When used correctly, it is also way more economical than any detergent you buy from the supermarket, which we found ourselves buying every 2 months (with this powder, it lasts 3+ months). Thank you Ed and the team - your products have truly been a game changer for our family's health!

This is a great product. Back to power but it is completely worth the experience. Beautifully packed. I love this company.

I have been using your washing powder for a few months now and am totally amazed at the difference it has made to my washing and all our clothes - they are lovely and soft, even the kids notice the difference and smell so fresh. I have put bolognese stained tea towels in the wash and also fresh blackcurrant stains and they are gone, no harsh chemicals simply amazing. I have told all my friends your laundry powder works out cheaper for me (family 4) as I don’t need anything else and only use a tablespoon per wash. I suffer with bad skin allergies and your powder is perfect no reactions at all. My only regret is I didn’t find you sooner. Please please don’t change anything and keep producing 🙏 . Penny 😊

I was drawn to this product for ecological purposes … no plastic bottles or ink laden large boxes half filled with a product. No added nasties and synthetic perfumes added that promise fresh laundry smells at an environmental cost, simple packaging and cleaning power.

Well … my hopes were certainly delivered. I absolutely love the simple packaging. At first I was sceptical whether laundry would smell fresh as there was no added perfume but yes it does, naturally and neutrally - love it.
I haven’t had to use tons of powder in a wash to get things clean so - all round the: washing powder, soap and natural oxygen bleach have been brilliant and given great results - thank you.

A little bit of uncertainty when I made the order as it was a full week before I got it, it is also expensive at £24. The bags do looks small on the video ads, but in person they are a lot larger and heavier, they pack a lot of powder. The washing powder appears to work very well and I’m very happy with the product.

Ok - got off to a very rocky start , kept sending me emails saying to check out when I already had an order , then when it did arrive it was the wrong item , then hey ignored me for a few days , i was beginning to think it was some kind of scam !! then I did get a reply to say the right product was on its way and they were sorry so that was a bit better however I am not sure still but will give them 4 for effort in the end

I’ve been using this product along with their bleach powder for nearly well over a year now and wouldn’t go back to anything else! It does gets stains out very well. I soaked a shirt with dried on blood stains in a small amount of the washing powder and a small amount of oxygen bleach powder and left for an hour or so. Rubbed the stain bar on it and then washed it and it took it all out. Wouldn’t use anything else. Y best find! Good for environment too. Well done Allavare

Wow. Amazing products. Having eczema and really sensitive skin it makes it difficult to find laundry products that don't aggravate my skin.
Since using the laundry powder I'm not itching anymore or having a migraine from potent fragrances. Also my dog has found her skin flare ups are no more.
The oxygen worked wonders on my white wash plus it's great for cleaning toilets or heavily stained mugs.
The stain bar managed to get grease marks out of my tshirt where's vanish failed.
All in all fantastic products and amazing company with great ethos. Definitely going to keep purchasing.

This natural laundry powder gets stains out that the big chemical brands couldn't. I got the starter pack & can't believe how fantastic Bette's Stain Bar is! I'm on my third delivery now via subscription. I will never go back to those chemical induced brands ever. I have sensitive, eczema prone skin. This laundry powder is a good send. It has a lovely 'old fashioned laundry' scent, not that over perfumed toxic smell. Perfectly packaged & delivered with instructions how to use & even how to make your own natural fabric conditioner - not that this powder needs a conditioner!

Sadly this hasn’t worked for me. I’ve followed the instructions exactly and it just doesn’t get the clothes clean. Clothes are still coming out with deodorant smells on them and it doesn’t remove any marks. It doesn’t even remove very light food spills on my children’s clothes. I really wanted this to be good! The clothes do have a very faint fresh smell which is better than overpowering laundry detergent, but my search for an effective non toxic washing powder continues!
