pretty much this soap is used for their delicate clothes . Alot of f o r e v e r 2 1 clothing items are very delicate; cuz their like 20 bucks duhh . lol . . . so to keep them longer if they need to be washed you just use this soap and it's suppose to be great ! another great thing this is for STAINS , you just rubb it on the stain and throw it in the washer, and then . . . good as new . . . haha . i haven't tried it before but i have this soap and i was reading dulcecandy87's page and saw her post . but when i do eventually try it , i'll write a revieww .
