It is a good detergent, especially since I use it in my semi-automatic washing machine. Does what is advertised, cleans thoroughly and effectively. From the cost point of view may be a little costly but for me it is ok as long as it gets the job done. When I first bought this detergent, I bought it as a much needed variety from the usual surf excel product and so far, I am glad to say that I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen. If you own a semi automatic washing machine like myself, or even an automatic one for that matter, I’d say you can safely buy this product, it won’t disappoint performance-wise.
