Laundry - has anyone tried?

were trying to move to healthier products and I’ve come across these for laundry. I like the fact there are few ingredients and to have a fragrance free option which is difficult to find, however can they properly clean without any chemicals? Have you tried them? What do you use? www.frenchsoaps.co.uk/collections/soap-flakes-for-laundry

Thanks for putting up this link OP-exactly what I've been looking for.
I make my own laundry soap by grating hand soap and mixing it with soda crystals, it's a Nancy Birtwhistle recipe I think. It works well enough-though I rub Vanish stain remover on tricky stains. White vinegar is my softener which leaves no smell at all.
As long as my clothes have had a swill around in warm water and soap, I'm not that fussed.

@LittleFiendSusan interesting. This company also sell soda crystals, I wasn’t really sure about them! And bicarb 🤔

and some things for stains but I’m assuming I do need some chemicals for this, as you say vanish. If I can do day to day stuff less chemically then I’d be happy!
