We use SmartLabel to conveniently display ingredient lists for our products.

Laundry detergents don’t spoil, however, you should avoid exposing your detergent to excessive heat or extreme cold which can cause liquid laundry detergent to separate. 

It’s best to use unopened liquid laundry detergent within one year of purchase. We recommend using opened containers of liquid laundry detergent within six months for best results. 

Single-dose detergent like all® free clear MEGA PACS™️ and all® MIGHTY PACS® should be stored out of reach from children and pets in their original, air-tight packaging to avoid moisture. It’s best to use single-dose detergent pacs within six months. 

Powder laundry detergent is a little more resilient, but like single-dose detergent pacs, should not be exposed to moisture when stored.

Stain treatment depends on stain type, fabric type, and more. Always remember to check your garment’s care label before attempting to clean. In general, we recommend using a stain-fighting liquid laundry detergent like all® free clear liquid laundry detergent, ADVANCED OXI or all® fresh clean OXI PLUS ODOR LIFTER liquid laundry detergent. Apply a small amount of detergent directly to the stain, and let sit for 10-15 minutes before washing as part of your normal routine.

Always store your laundry products out of reach from children and pets. Be sure to keep laundry products in their original packaging, keeping the products carefully sealed to avoid spills. Avoid exposing laundry products to excessive heat or cold. For powder detergent and laundry detergent pacs, you should also avoid exposure to moisture, which can impact product efficacy and longevity.

all® MIGHTY PACS® and all® free clear MEGA PACS™️ are harmful if swallowed and should not make contact with eyes. If swallowed or if contact with eyes is made, call a Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting and make sure to rinse eyes with water immediately for at least 15 minutes.
