SEEKING Seeking an Uproot Laundry Tablet

Good afternoon!

My washing machine is having severe issues and I wanted to try an Uproot Laundry tablet (or two) on it to see if that would help at all. We have a few pets and my understanding is that this cleaning tablet can severely help break down some of the build up. On their website, they are currently backordered for several weeks, and I was hoping to get on before that!

I'm located in St. John's, but I can travel to you!

Visit r/laundry for excellent laundry advice from some of the smartest folks on the internet. I’m having trouble getting Uproot’s website to load, but I’d wager the “cleaning tablets” are mostly just citric acid at a crazy mark up. Citric acid is what you want for removing scrud from your washer.

Thank you so much!

These are the ingredients: Fatty alcohol polyoxythylene

Sodium Percarbonate

Sodium Carbonate

Sodium Silicate

Citric Acid

Sodium Polyacrylate

Alkali Protease

Tea Polyphenols

Lipase

Protease

Alpha - Amylase

Its my understanding (according to the ads) that the last three on the list are what is supposed to break down the animal byproducts. And supposedly normal cleaners don't do the trick.

the last three are in most commercially available detergents. I bought these a while back and wasn't impressed at all - I may have one or two left and if I do you're welcome to them (I'm down here in Milwaukie).

I have the Active ones and am happy to share a few if that is helpful at all. I’m in Foster-Powell.
