Testimonial of the Month(Please send your own comments about our products to krisa@countrysave.com.)3/30/2008 I had been using the same brand-name laundry detergent since I did laundry as a youth, and thought there was nothing better on the market. I has so excited to see and feel the difference in our laundry, after the first load I washed with Country save, I actually started to rewash the cloths and linens from the closets. It brought the life and true colors back from their dull shades, as well as taking out old stains. Our polar fleece bedding has never felt softer, and they don't pile near as much as we sleep. Our towels are softer and the new towels I purchased have plumped up more than what they were originally. I had almost given up on bleaching cloths, since most have turned my whites to a grey. Country Save Non-Chlorine Bleach has kept taking that grey tinge out in each wash. Country Save has worked great in our front-load washer and I am planning to take it with us when we go camping, since it is safe on the camper plumbing and the environment. I have given away my old brands and don't plan on to try an others now. T. Henderson
Previous Testimonials3/12/2008 As I said when I spoke with you on the phone, your detergent is the only detergent that my children can use. We use cloth diapers and all the other "safe" detergents made them break out horribly. My 3 kids have very sensitive skin as does my husband and when I use Country Save I know they will not have any problems with their skin. I am very scent sensitive and all the perfume free detergents I have tried do not get our clothes as clean or soft as Country Save does, especially with our very hard water. So thank you again, for a wonderful product and phenomenal customer service!

1/17/2008 Kathleen in Michigan 1/12/2008 We'd used nothing but Country Save laundry products for years with great success, and luckily we were able to find the dish detergent locally at a competetive price. Just a small amount removes all the grease and oils and after years of use my pans look and cook as well as they did 6 months after purchase. Thank you Country Save, 12/16/2007 Kris,
I LOVE the Non-chlorine bleach and will be reordering it with my next order. I'm going to wait until after Christmas as I do 99% of all my Christmas ordering, on line, and I think my UPS, FedEx and mailman are too overworked so I'll wait a few weeks. I do have a question about your All Purpose cleaner. (I did read the description but again remember the blonde/senior thing!) We moved into a condo last December and for the first time I have painted white woodwork throughout the whole house. I've only used water as I'm a little uneasy about using something that would harm the paint. Is your All Purpose cleaner more of a degreaser like 409 or more like Spic N Span & Mr. Clean? Also, is this a cleaner that would have to be rinsed when I use it to mop the floor? (I have a vinyl floor). Thank you for your quick reply and I will be reording the powdered detergent and the bleach as it works wonderful in my front loader washing machine. Also...since using your detergent I have quit using fabric softener completely! Merry Christmas, 12/11/2007 I have spent years testing all kinds of different detergents in my Front Load Washers. I determined that powdered detergents work better than liquids for me. That in itself is a problem as liquids seem to be taking over the shelves in stores everywhere. The few powdered HE detergents left all seem to leave a residue no matter how many rinses are selected. I tried regular powders, but even cutting the dosage back to 1/3 still had problems with over sudsing and felt that things weren't getting clean. One Sunday morning several weeks ago I decided to do web search for powdered HE laundry detergents and found your site. I had to write to say Thank You for such a great detergent! It is the best detergent I have ever used and will recommend it to everyone. It cleans great, it smells like nothing but "clean" when I open the washer door, the laundry feels clean (no residue left after rinsing), it shows some suds in the water, but does not over suds when spinning , it is economical to use, and it is environmentally friendly. It doesn't get better than that. I ordered on line and received my package within a week which included a hand written note thanking me and wishing me a Happy Holiday. I hope my letter can be posted as a testimonial so other people will be encouraged to try this product. I believe that once they do, they won't want to use anything else. Thank You again for everything and Happy Holidays. Joe Menichello 12/10/2007 Dear Country Save, Thanks for making a great product. Sincerely, 12/5/2007 Just purchased my first box of detergent and was so very pleased. Till now was using Tide free but it still had a distinct fragrance. Your product reminded me of an old fashioned type of "soap" that really cleqned the clothes. Current products on the market just mask the odors and leave behind lingering varieties of scents. Now if we could only wean people away from the dryer! Thanks for a superb product Mary Louise Leonard 11/26/2007 Dear Country Save, Many Thanks, 9/19/2007 Kris Many Thanks, 9/4/2007 Kris Dr. Julie A.

Aleka / HI 7/9/2007 Dear Kris:
Debora Lee LOVE Your Detergent! : We have struggled for the better part of a year to find a decent detergent to wash our clothes in as well as our son's cloth diapers. Nothing really seemed to work and for awhile we were using two different detergents - one for clothes and one for diapers! We've tried several different "natural" ones and had many struggles. One company's solution to less than stellar diaper cleaning was to add bleach to the rinse cycle!! Now when I wash our clothes/diapers with Country Save they smell clean - not like a perfume or anything, just clean! Thanks!! Jenny R. Hi Kris,
Thanks again!
P.S. I have attached our 4MilitaryFamilies.com Seal of Approval. Please feel free to use it on your military website if you wish. April 22, 2007 Hi Kris, Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to go find your laundry detergent. You have been very helpful. From: Holly, Quebec, Canada April 6, 2007 I got my order yesterday. That was really fast shipping. Thanks! I also want to thank you for offering such a great product line. It is so hard these days to find products that reflect my values while also getting the job done. Your detergent is developing quite a following among the cloth diapering community. I have given out the info for the "secret" store to many cloth diapering moms in the past 2 weeks. It is extremely hard to find a detergent free of dyes, perfumes, enzymes, etc. that can be used in HE machines. I am very selective about the products I use around my child. Thank you for making it easier to choose. Best, Jessica B. One satisfied customer :) March 6, 2007 I have been cloth diapering our son since his birth 11 months ago and have used several different types of laundry detergent, however I got residue on my diapers from them all until I discovered Country Save! It is by far the best laundry detergent on the market and will not add any chemicals (meaning, no irritation to baby or us!) We recommend it to everyone who visits our website and would love to become a distributor one day! Thank you Country Save! Tara G. from ClothMama.com October 28, 2006 Dear Kris,
Best, October 11, 2006 Dear Country Save,
Jean in Aloha, OR 9/6/06 Dear Country Save, I was making blackberry jam in my kitchen and had just cooked up a huge batch of blackberries and had put them in cheesecloth to drain. I always hang the cheesecloth from the same place and let the juice drain into a bowl beneath. This particular batch had just about drained completely and I was getting ready to empty the cheesecloth when the string broke and the whole thing fell into the fresh blackberry juice and splashed all over my sweats, the kitchen counter, my floor and anything else within 3 feet! I looked down and my sweatshirt was literally covered in blackberry juice and I could have just screamed! I thought it was over! After cleaning all of the hard surfaces ( I use your All Purpose Cleaner in the kitchen….it worked great…but I expected that so it wasn’t a surprise enough to write about) I went into the laundry room, ran some warm water in the laundry sink and threw both top & bottom sweats into the water and threw in a scoop of your non-chlorine bleach and left it for the morning….. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! I picked up the sweatshirt to look at the stains and they were gone! I did the same with the pants and the blackberry stains were gone! THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU!!! By the way…I used to buy that expensive Oxi-Clean product and will never spend the money again. Your Country Save bleach is fantastic and a great price. You might think about changing the name though….I’ll bet a lot of people don’t understand what your product can really do! Anyway, that’s it for now and I love that you are a company from Washington! Sylvia G.
4/10/06 I WANT TO GIVE YOUR DETERGENT AS GIFTS... Hello, I am the "reluctant to try powder" person who contacted you about HE machine usage about three weeks ago. I purchased five pounds of powder and two boxes of non-chlorine bleach after much patient e-mail correspondence on your part. Here, it is, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BETTER LAUNDRY DETERGENT! Your powder product is superb. It gets out the most ground in dirt and grease. The powder even gets out pond scum, nasty, stinky, fish and frog poop stick to you green pond scum! Yep, I tested it for pond scum. My husband and I got a broken down Koi pond with our new house. With spring, we have been rebuilding the actual pond. Within the pond have been the Koi all winter. Since October there has been no pump, no circulation, just a winter's accumulation of pond scum. So my husband and I have spent the past two weekends rebuilding it. (By the way, it is lovely and quite peaceful now. The remaining fish and frogs and whatever seem quite healthy.) We wore old clothes and old towels during the reconstruction because, frankly, I thought we would have to throw everything out. (Nasty, we are talking true POND SCUM here!). Then, I thought, heck, why not give this new detergent a real test. So I washed a load with your bleach, figuring I could run a vinegar rinse for odor control in the washing machine after testing your detergent. The clothes and towels came out perfectly clean. No stains, no lingering pond scum odor; I was flabbergasted. So this weekend I did the same without the bleach, thinking that I would have an aha! moment about the detergent. Well, as sure as heck got my moment! A moment of jaw dropping astonishment that the nastified items were once again coming out of the washing machine clean to see and smell. Amazing. Now I would like to send packages to a select group of my lady friends. I want to spread the word. Please be aware that I am a woman in her fifties, who actually did her first load of laundry with a wringer washer and didn't have a dryer until 1968 (raised in central California so we had sunshine). I have resided all over the world. I am convinced that this is the best laundry detergent on the market. Please let me know how I can send a five pound package of the powder detergent and maybe the bleach too as a gift. I am interested in finding a final price. OK, I am also interested in obtaining a discount, if possible, if I purchase at least five gift packs. Thanks for your help.
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LAUNDRY DETERGENT!
10/27/04 Thanks, Kris! I have a front-loader in both the house and the RV and Country Save cleans best of all the detergents I've tried, including the "big boys". The fact that it's so ecologically and skin-sensitivity friendly is an added bonus. Keep up the good work! Sincerely,
4/13/04 And while we know that some people use our products for a variety of uses, we like to share the thoughts of our customers (without endorsing ALL of the uses one way or the other!) We do THANK the Scruggs family for sharing all the ways Country Save Powdered Detergent works for them!......... "I just love your laundry detergent. It only takes a tablespoon per washing level in my washer. I have used it for other applications around the house… for instance…. you can put 1|2 teaspoon of the detergent in a gallon of water this solution will wash your car, clean your kitchen or your bathroom, and wash your floors. 1|4 teaspoon in each side of your dishwasher cup will clean your dishes." Sincerely,
8/25/03 Dear Kris--The things I really like about your laundry detergent are: 1. It's pretty much a pure detergent. Not a bunch of other additives. I have allergies, so don't use fragrances and dyes. But it doesn't have all the other glop that is in grocery store brands. Since I've been using Country Save, I never find detergent residues or undissolved detergent on my clothing when I take them out of the washer. It's very easy to get the clothes rinsed without excessive water. When I used grocery store detergent, my grease trap would fill up rather quickly with this nasty foam that doesn't dissolve and go away. I would have to dig up the trap. The Country Save just rinses clean without leaving residue to clog my septic system. 2. It dissolves so easily, that I use it to wash all kinds of things. My basement sink is next to the washer, where the detergent is kept. It's easy to grap a little detergent and throw it in an ice chest or anything because it all dissolves and then rinses out. I live on a farm and most of the laundry I wash is what the TV ads call "ground in dirt." Also very greasy clothing. It cleans everything well. I prespot grease. General grunge I presoak with Country Save non-chlorine bleach. It all comes clean. 3. I wash a lot of laundry. Even with the new "ultra" stuff, you have to continually carry home large boxes of detergent. Country Save is concentrated enough that you don't have to do that. I buy a case at a time, which lasts about 6 months. So I only have to lug it home twice a year! Thank you for such a good product. Sincerely,Julie F., Pontiac, IL 7/28/03 Dear Country Save, I am one of these people that stock up on everything so I have two big containers of liquid Tide, a powder Tide and two big containers of Cheer. I guess I'm going to have to give them to somebody, because I'm certainly not going to use them. Once you have had the best, you can't go back. I know a lot of people like scent free products, but I always look for things that smell good. I can't really explain your product - it's scent free but still has a smell all it's own. It just smells so clean. I also like the All Purpose Cleaner. I have ceramic tile in the kitchen and I got down on my hands and knees on Sunday and scrubbed my floor. At first, I wasn't sure if it was any better than any other cleaner that I used. When I was done I walked barefoot across the floor and it felt really nice, no tacky residue, it just felt smooth. I then used it fool strength on my appliances-nice job. The real test was my bathtub. I always have a yucky bathtub. I use a lot of baby oil on my body and my tub shows it. I put it on a sponge and the greasy residue came off with no effort whatsoever. Left it sparkling clean. I usually use Soft Scrub and Lysol foam and scrub like crazy, then rinse for a long time. It will be a staple in my bathroom for sure. Anything to make my life easier. I also like the dishwashing liquid a lot, will repurchase. I'm curious though, why do you not have a automatic dishwasher cleaner? With everything else that you have, I think you should have that too. I also like sparkling, clean dishes. You should also make a window cleaner! I was in the grocery store on Saturday in the cleaning aisle, and I saw this woman picking up Tide. She was a very neat woman that looked like she would be picky about her laundry. I am usually not so outspoken, but I walked up to her and told her that I used Tide for years and that I had found a new product. She was all ears and when I got done she was writing down your address and said that she would definitely check it out. I think she will too as she seemed very interested in what I had to say. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising that there is. All, another thing I did on Sunday, I washed my car with the cleaner. Did a very nice job. I used it full strength on my aluminum wheels, the dirt just slid off and I put it on my grill where all the bugs and grit is and left it set for a while and it came off pretty good. I told you that once I got my products that I would go like a whirl wind testing everything. I also don't use rubber gloves (can't stand them) and I must say that your products were very gentle on my hands. Linda W., Baltimore, MD 4/28/03 For years I used Palmolive dishsoap because it kept my fingernails strong, never chapped my hands and was relatively gentle when I let it mingle with Mother Nature, ie: cleaning potted plants of dust, spilling leftover buckets into the backporch weeds, running out of shampoo and using it on my hair. It had an innocuous scent as well. Then came the EPA standards for the new millenium, and Palmolive changed the formula. It no longer kept its soapy cutting edge beyond 6-8 hours. The scent was very strong. My nails began to peel and were flimsy. I began shopping for alternate brands. For two bottles worth I used Planet, but was disappointed because it held suds for an even shorter time than the new Palmolive. Found you on the shelf in Sedro-Woolley at Thrifty Foods. No fanfare or advertising...just sitting there as an alternative in my quest. Don't change anything. Thank you, thank you, thank you...not strengthening my nails, though:-)That's okay.

Hi Kris,
My clothes are softer, cleaner and feel like new again. I notice a definite difference each time I put on a sock, t-shirt or use a face towel that's been cleaned with your product. I would suggest you stop preaching on your website about Country Save being as good as Tide or the others because in fact, is it's MUCH BETTER .....and that's the real selling point in my opinion. Congrats and thank you for making such a great product!
N. Wells
Dear Country Save,

"Hi Kris, finally here are a few thoughts about your product. .... hope some of it is useful to you. We have lived in the woods for fifteen years, and I haven't had "clean" clothes for fifteen years. Because of the mineral content of our water, our "whites" are not white, nor are our "brights" bright, and there seemed little I could do as we are so aware of the delicate balance of our geographical ecosystem, and would not consider adding bleach to the wash water. I met Kris at a Natural Products Show, he gave me a sample of Country Save Laundry Detergent, and I've used nothing else since. Not only do we have white and bright clothes again, but the added benefit of their fragrance-and-salt-free formulation has me feeling better in other ways as well. I have fibromyalgia, and as part of this troublesome and often debilitating syndrome, I have a great deal of difficulty with any products containing synthetic fragrances, additives, extenders, etc. The mere whiff of the "detergent" aisle in the grocery store can send me into migraine-mode before I can get home. In addition, my skin has become sensitive to most lotions, shampoos, and laundry detergent and chlorine bleach. So, the discovery of Country Save has truly opened a new door toward helping me to maintain an "itch-free" environment for my skin! I recommend Country Save to all my customers to whom I sell our O'Malley & Potter "Feel-Good" Products. (I need brochures -- I'm all out!) Thank you for your products." Best to you, Claudia O'Malley "Yesterday morning we discovered that our pet newt (a tiny salamander) had disappeared from our aquarium. Our assumption was the cats got him. Several hours later I washed a load of towels in our automatic washer with Country Save Laundry Detergent. As I was unloading the last wet towel, out crawled our newt! He had found his way into the dirty towels and had withstood the entire washing process! Today he is still fine. We understand you do not test your products on animals and we wouldn't dream of doing it ourselves, but we inadvertently did. We thought you would want to know that we got clean towels along with a much cleaner newt!" Janis B., Redwood City, CA "I truly enjoy your product! Thank you for a super good product that works but is unscented! I use only unscented products and yours is the best! Thanks!" Tyler P., East Wenatchee, WA 98802 "After extensive testing…The Country Save Detergent is overall comparable to Tide detergent in testing for contamination, water repellency and weight pick-up for cleaning GORE-TEX* Fabrics."
