Directions from Packaging

How to get the best results from Planet Ultra Powdered Laundry Detergent - 1) Sort your washable clothing, separating dark colors from light colors and whites, and separating heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items to avoid color and soil transfer. Pre-treat any large or dark stains just prior to laundering. 2) Measure and add detergent to washer tub. Do not use washer's dispensing cups. Measure to 3oz. fill line for a regular / large load. For HE washers, use half this amount (1.5 oz). Use more detergent for extra large or heavily soiled loads. 3) Select appropriate color and temperature settings. Wash dark colors in cold or cool water, and wash light colors and whites in cool or warm water. Select cold water for the rinse cycle. 4) Add laundry to washer, distributing clothes evenly. For most effective washing, do not overload the washer, and use the right amount of detergent for your specific wash conditions. Always refer to garment care labels for laundering instructions.


Warnings

CAUTION: EYE IRRITANT. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. CAUTION: In case of eye contact, flush with water. If swallowed, give large amounts of water followed by citrus juice. Do not induce vomiting. Contact a physician.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
