TLDR: best stain remover I have ever used & one of the best purchases I’ve made. I rinse, wash with this bar, rinse again, then throw in washer & do my usual laundry routine. For severe stains - rinse, wash, rinse, then cover stain (both sides) with ample soap from the bar, then throw in washer without rinsing & follow laundry routine. Hasn’t failed me yet!

It took me a while to really try this bar out
— I didn’t have anything to dry it on & I can’t stand the goopy bottom when soap bars dry on something completely flat. (I still don’t have anything “proper” to dry it on, but it actually doesn’t get goopy anyway!!).
I got this bar to deal with menstrual stains. I have an irregular cycle & extreme bleeding (the kind that severely impacts my life … like I can’t even exit the shower “normally” for at least 8 days every month). I tend to use “disposable period panties” (“adult underwear” for periods) most of the time, but I always get caught off guard with a huge gush from Niagara Falls when it starts. So I needed a GOOD stain remover for my underwear, pants/jeans, socks, pajamas, jackets, bedding, couch covers, etc. Basically for anything that could be near my crotch or under my crotch while standing up is fair game. And allll the stain removers in the laundry aisle don’t work for my problem (oxi clean works great for my kids clothes tho).
Enter this laundry bar. I got the tiny one from The Laundress at the same time — it did nothing my laundry soap couldn’t do. I have 2 super special needs kids & 2 less special needs kids, so I don’t have a lot of spare time to do stuff just for me (like hand washing stains from my clothes when they happen, or even doing my laundry when it happens). Sometimes my stuff just has to wait until all the other laundry is done (clothes, towels, bedding for 6 people is a LOT).
Even when my stains have sat for 5 days (waiting for Friday night “free time”) it STILL comes out!! I rinse as much out as I can, then wash the area with soap from the bar. Sometimes I wash more than once, depending on how bad the stain is & how much of it I can rinse out before washing. I’ll do a final rinse & then throw it in the washer doing my normal routine. If the stain is really bad, I don’t rinse the soap out. I’ll wash it as much as I can, rinse it out & wring excess water; then load both sides of the stain with ample soap & leave it on to throw it in the wash like that. It hasn’t discolored anything I’ve used it on (or washed it with), doesn’t change the texture & the scent washes out too. I can’t really remember what it smells like — but I’m super sensitive to smell (I still use my face mask in stores bc other people’s perfumes & cologne make me nauseous from feeling like there’s an ice pick in my head) & this doesn’t bother me at all. I know it smells like flowery soap or something but it isn’t overpowering & doesn’t give me a headache like most things. The Laundress bar smells weird, like men’s cologne (& not a good one either).
This bar is absolutely amazing & has not failed me yet!!! While I’m hand washing, the stain doesn’t always fully come out. I’ll be bummed thinking I ruined my clothes, but then the remaining stains come out in the wash (I have an he top loader with no agitator). I don’t know if running it through a delicate cycle will be enough, but I always use cold water & low heat in the dryer to extend the life of my clothes.

Cleans clothing, shoes and carpet!
I'd never heard of this product before so since on sale I tried it. Im kinda anal about my 6 and 7yo gdtrs clothes and getting them clean.Fels Naptha actually did pretty good getting the stains out.Grating the bar in the washer tub was a bit of a struggle but liked the outcome.These are my 6yo gdtrs shoes.First picture; I had just put them in soapy water.Second; I used a brush and soapy water, not much difference.Third; I wet the end of the bar, rubbed it on the shoe and used the brush. Less scrubbing than without the Fels Naptha.She will say, "They look like brand new!" again bc I've used the bar before. I've ordered 4 more bars❤Update!! I used it on some black oily looking stains on my rug too.First I tried a can of carpet spot remover which didn't do anything even with a scrub.Then I tried Fels Naptha. First I got the stain wet with hot water then rubbed the "soap" over the stain. Then I used my usual brush and dropped my towel on the stain and blotted it out. One black stain was being difficult but I got out all 4 spots!!The bar is cheap and it works GREAT!!!
