"Loved the smell, fairly good results"
Used the laundry detergent at 30 degrees and was happy with the result, the accompanying scent was gorgeous and lasted for a few days on our bedding. We're still using the washing up liquid and cleaner and would happily continue to use them both.
Great products, compare well with other eco products available.

"Good for going Green!"
I've tried the Alma products:
natural laundry scent
household cleaner
washing up liquid
soap powder
bathroom cleaner
The laundry detergent was the first product I had ever used which was eco friendly and if I'm honest, I was not totally convinced! Firstly, i was unsure how to use it as the instructions are not the clearest, doesnt state how much to use so i guessed? the clothes appeared clean, had a lemony scent but nothing special if im being honest.
The household cleaner worked well, I used it on my work tops and tiles flooring, it cleaned it well and again had a citrusy smell which at first i wasnt sure of but grew on me after a while.
The washing up liquid I did not like - i had to use quite a large amount to make it lather and get bubbles, and i didnt feel safe enough knowing the dishes were clean - it did leave my hands quite soft though
The bathroom cleaner again was sufficient, left my appliances with a citrusy aroma and my skin soft.
This product is great if you are environmentally aware and like to go green but i personally would not buy these products again, the packaging looked "cheap" which i know isnt a valid point but i did not feel comfortable that my clothes and dishes were clean after using them plus the price is way out of my league unfortunatley.

"Even the socks came out clean!"
I've used 'eco friendly' and 'organic' detergents before so I was a bit sceptical. BUT, the laundry products were great! The clothes came out clean (even at 30 degrees) and the Natural Laundry Scent was really lovely.
All three of my children have sensitive skin and eczema but none of them were irritated by these products.
I used the Heavy Duty washing powder to wash my chldren's whites - even the socks came out clean.
I would definitely buy these products - especially the Natural Laundry Scent as this was so lovely.

"Good for eczema!"
I have the Alma win household pack and was keen to try the detergent and softener first as my daughter had been suffering from eczema around her neck and i though maybe the natural products may help. I was right, I washed all her baby gro's and bibs with the detergent which was very fresh smelling and very different to the other heavily scented products that we re so used to . Her eczema improved very quickly , and even though I was using emollients aswell I'm sure the products helped. The washing up liquid is also fresh and does a very good job and the bathroom cleaner left my tub sparkly !
I like the idea of using chemical free eco products and would consider switching but would have to think about the cost benefits.
The only downside is I think the packaging is a bit dated but nothing a graphic designer could nt sort out!
Would recommend these products!

"good product for sensitive skin"
As a mother of a one year old with bad eczema and skin allergies, I was very happy with this washing detergent. Not only did it ge the clothes clean (including when things had to be hand washed on holiday), it also was very gentle on my daughters skin and she didn't suffer a flair up of her eczema in the summer heat!!
The cap on the container was also excellent in that it stayed shut for a long haul flight so we didn't end up with a soap filled suitcase on arrival

"great product but expensive"
I've tried a set of Alma products..soap powder, bathroom cleaner, natural laundry scent,household cleaner,and washing up liquid.
all of the products had a lemon scent, which I confess to not liking at first but once I got used to it I actually quite liked it.
The washing up liquid was the first product I had ever used which was eco friendly and if I'm honest, I was not wholly convinced! you need to use quite a lot of the product I found in order to get it to foam up like conventional washing up liquids do.
The laundry detergent also had the lemon scent, but the scent didn't seem to hang around for long, you can add in some of the laundry scent, varying the amount of product you use depending on how much you want the clothes to be scented. while I like this idea, I'm not sure that it would be particularly cost effective as having to buy both the washing powder/liquid and then the scent separately could be quite expensive.
The household cleaner worked well, having just had a patio laid, ( and a partner traipsing mud into the kitchen ) the floor was quite dirty. I was not sure if it would clean as effectively as conventional cleaners, but it cleaned the floor just as well as other products i have used.
This product is great if you are environmentally aware, but being aware does come at a cost, in this case the pocket... to buy the detergent and scent is much more expensive than most conventional soap powders. which is a downside for me personally. i would however buy the washing up liquid and household cleaner again!

"great product"
As a mum of 2 boys aged 3 and half and 7 months i wash clothes on a daily basis and have to deal with lots of stains.
This product did the job well to remove stains and bad smells even from Jaydens dirty bibs.
The only downside to the product is the fragrance did not last very long which is a shame as it was a lovely lemon scent.

"ALMA WIN ORGANIC LAUNDRY PRODUCTS"
I was unsure about using an eco friendly product as I have heard comments in the past that they don't remove stubborn stains, whites don't stay bright and basically they are a waste of money. However, as this was a review it was perfect for me to judge for myself and also my twin boys have recently been diagnosed with severe eczema so I have been trying out various detergents.
Well, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The washing came out fine, perfectly clean and fresh. Both the liquid detergent and the scent freshener had a lovely fresh lemon scent, which I thought did not last but when out at playgroup another mum commented and asked what concentrate I had used. Therefore, I may have just got used to this scent.
It was quite reassuring to use a detergent that is eco friendly and suited to consumers who have sensitive skin or allergies, as I used this among other things to wash three babies clothing, two of which have eczema. My family did not have any reactions or flare ups when using this product.
I would recommend this product, but due to the fact that I live in a hard water area and do such a large amount of washing this detergent is not cost effective for my circumstances.
Overall, a very good product.

"Would recommend"
I was very happy with these products but I was a little concerned at how expensive they were but for the amount of washes I had it outweighed the cost.
No allergic reactions, and I really did like the fresh smell but it didn't stay on the clothes for as long as I would have liked.

"An eco laundry option that works!"
I was pleased to try this product as I have been disappointed by eco-laundry options in the past. I found it effective and made clothes clean and fresh smelling. My girls and husband all have sensitive skin and I was pleased that none of them had any kind of reaction to the laundry products.
I needed to use quite a lot of the liquid as we live in a hard water area so it works out quite expensive per wash - I would definitely buy it again in the future though!

"Good Product"
I found this product to be a good product.Its nice that its eco-friendly.However I wont be switching to it from my usual brand as I do feel u have to use alot of the product to get a good cleaning result.The lemony scent was quite pleasent but was non apparant once clothes had dried.We have suffered no allergic reactions to it and two of my children have sensitive skins and it didnt affect them.If it was a bit cheaper I may consider using it more regularly but it doesnt bowl me over to encourage me to change.

"Couldnt have come at a better time!"
Well I have really put this product to the test this weekend!! My 18 month old son has had a tummy bug so the washing machine has been constantly on! I found the detergent was very good at getting the stains out and the smell from the laundry scent was lovely (although I think it was a bit short lived) nobody has had an allergic reaction to it either which is a good sign! The only negative thing really is that because we have quite hard water I had to use more than average so it wasn't really cost effective.

"nice product"
These products washed really well, I use 30 degrees and the clothes came out clean and smelt fresh.
The only down side was that the lemon fresh smell didn't last once the clothes had been air dried, though they still smelt fine.
I really like the fact that they are all natural and eco friendly.
Overall a really good product and I would use them and recommend them to others.

"100% natural washing detergent"
I was impressed with the cleaning power of the Alma Win liquid detergent even at low temperatures. It was also easy to use and measure out which is a bonus. However I did find that because we live in a hard water area and they recommend that you use a higher quantity of the liquid to compensate for this we would not have got 16 washes out of the bottle and so it works out to be more expensive than the current leading brand we regularly use.
The natural laundry lemon scent was lovely, smelt great and the scent is long lasting too.
All in all I was happy with the products and I am always keen to try natural/ eco friendly brands but I'm not sure that I will be changing from my regular washing liquid purely based on value for money.
