Does it really replace fabric softener?

It includes softening agents, so you can skip a separate softener. The effect is lighter than a dedicated liquid softener, especially on towels.

Is it safe for HE washing machines?

Yes. It is formulated for both standard and high-efficiency machines and works in all water temperatures, including cold.

What does it smell like?

It has a floral Orchard Bloom scent. The fragrance is noticeable on finished laundry, so fragrance-sensitive households may want to air-dry or use less.

How much should I use per load?

Follow the dosing cap and your machine's load size. For heavily soiled loads, use the higher mark; for light loads, use less to keep the scent mild.

Does it handle tough stains?

It is concentrated with 2X stain fighters versus the leading value detergent and handles everyday soils well. For set-in stains, pretreat first.

Is it available in other scents or forms?

This is the liquid Orchard Bloom version. ARM & HAMMER sells other scent and form variants under separate listings.

Our take on the ARM & HAMMER Plus Softener Laundry Detergent Liquid

ARM & HAMMER Plus Softener is a liquid detergent that pairs stain fighting with built-in fabric softening, so you skip a separate softener. It uses baking soda to attack odors and carries an Orchard Bloom floral scent. It works in standard and HE machines and in all water temperatures, including cold. It suits households that want one bottle for cleaning and softness on a budget, though it is a value-tier formula rather than a premium enzyme detergent.
