FAQ


Is Wintree formulated for HE washers?
Yes, Wintree is formulated to work in HE washers as well as regular washing machines

What makes Wintree different than other leading laundry detergents?
Three factors make Wintree different than other leading laundry detergents: efficacy, environmentally-friendly formula, and concentration.

  • Efficacy: In comparison tests against leading national brands, Wintree cleaned just as well, if not better, than the leading brands. And, the stain-removing cleaners in Wintree are environmentally-friendly.
  • Environmentally friendly formula:
    • The surfactants used in Wintree are biodegradable and made from coconut and palm oils, which means the surfactants do not accumulate in the environment.
    • Wintree is safe for septic systems because it is natural.
    • Wintree contains a natural based whitening agent rather than harsh chemical brighteners or chlorine bleaches.
    • The Wintree bottle, label and formula are manufactured in the same location, which reduces energy, transportation and handling requirements, resulting in less impact on the environment. Fewer emissions due to reduced transportation helps maintain a healthier environment.
  • Concentration: Wintree is a concentrated formula, which means that you can wash the same amount of laundry as before, using less detergent.

Does Wintree clean as well as mainstream laundry detergents?
Absolutely! In comparison tests, Wintree Laundry Detergent works just as well, if not better, than the leading brands.

Why does my laundry detergent look "cloudy"?
When exposed to heat, sometimes Wintree has a "cloudy" or opaque appearance. Due to the high content of "natural" based ingredients the product clouds at a relatively high temperature (60 F). The "cloudy" appearance does not affect the efficacy of the detergent, and it performs exactly the same as the clear Wintree detergent.
