 Love the squirt top! Jan 14, 2010
By Melanie Miller
I am always trying to find fragrance-free detergent and this is great. I love that it has the squirt top, so the detergent goes into my HE washer without spilling. My clothes smell good and I love knowing I'm not washing a bunch of chemicals into my son's clothing!

 Something is Wrong with this Detergent! Jul 23, 2011
By Jonathan Goldstein
To be honest, I wasn't crazy about buying this detergent by Martha Stewart because she is an ex-con. But, I wanted to be environmentally friendly so I went ahead and gave it a try. The first time I opened it I thought that something had died in my laundry room! The smell is terrible - like a rotting carcas! I will definitely be returning this detergent!

Can't get past the smell Feb 28, 2011
By Product10014
Bought a nice big container of this stuff at the grocery store. Got it home and took a sniff, thinking it would smell like maybe cupcakes or herbs from Martha's garden. 'Fraid not - it smells more like a fish market. I use it with a pleasant-smelling fabric softener and it seems to come out all right. But I won't be taking home another jug anytime soon!

Cannot decide if it smells more like fish or cat pee Jul 26, 2011
By J. Kellerman
This must have a short shelf life. The first time I used it I didn't notice the smell, but it got worse and worse over a few weeks. I hate it, it smells like urine, but then when I read other fishy reviews, I thought, yes, I can see that too. Gross. i am so cheap though, so I won't throw a huge container like that out. I simply use that for really dirty items (kid-dirty-foodstains), needing two cycles... I use it first and then do my second washing with another detergent. Oh, and I used it on the kids outdoor toys in a bucket of water with a rag, thinking it would deter other wild animals from the sandbox area, lol.

 It's okay .. pros and cons Oct 27, 2010
By Neil E. Isenberg
I've used this product for several months now.
Pros:
Like apparently most laundry detergents that try to be a little better for the environment, the cleaning is not as robust with this as top performers, but it is good enough in our experience which is now several months. All the kids clothes clean well enough. So it is an acceptable balance between environmentally friendly and uber-clean.
They changed the mixture since getting a bad review on Consumer Reports for cleaning potential. I only have experience with it after the change, picked it up at Home Depot.
Cons:
To be honest for serious cleaning jobs I keep one of the top 5 detergents recommended by Consumer Reports ready on the side.
The pump in theory is a great idea for those with front loading washers, although it probably doesn't matter that much to those with top loading washers. In practice they bungled the manufacture of the pump though. The pump is pretty wobbly. I'd say 5-10% of the time I get the stuff on the outside of the bottle or my hand, some of the time I hit the edge of the washer opening. I've gone through a few of these bottles and they all seem to have the issue.
I've noticed the martha stewart dishwashing liquid bottles get filled up to greatly varying levels and the darkness of the colors of the liquid vary a great deal among the bottles, all of which demonstrate the likelihood of some kind of quality control issue .. perhaps it is the same for the laundry detergent, too? When lined up on the Home Depot shelf one can see the differences in level and color from one dishwashing liquid bottle to the other.
The comments on this site about it smelling bad, we simply don't have that issue, not sure what to say there. I'm tempted to suggest it's a competitor's marketing team smelling blood in the water but who knows maybe it is another result of a quality control issue. Perhaps it was the old mix.
Brand protection is everything for these folks probably and I'm guessing Martha Stewart had little or nothing to do with this product's final form, because if she had, the pump would work flawlessly, the shade of amber and proportions would all be the same, and I suspect the cleaning power would be better :).
