Phalgal Posted November 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2022 We're going to be on the Splendor in Dec. I have very sensitive skin and can't abide scented washing detergent. I'd love to hear from anyone who's used the public washing machines and can tell me whether they use scented detergent. We can always bring our own, if necessary. Thank you.

Rare mj_holiday Posted November 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The detergent is the type that will not damage the ocean, I do not remember a scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBWC Posted November 13, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The detergent dispenser is connected to the machine by a hose. You cannot add your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted November 13, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I guess you could add your own if you just dumped it into the washer with the clothes then didn’t push the button on the attached detergent dispenser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBWC Posted November 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2022 But as stated above, Regent uses a special detergent that is not damaging to the environment. If you use your own ‘regular’ detergent, that would defeat that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare loriva Posted November 14, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 14, 2022 On Splendor in September, the detergent dispenser hose in the launderette I used was not connected to the machine. It was by the sink and had a cup to use. It was very thin--watered down--and the button to dispense it overfilled the cup. I do not recall it having a scent, but was not focused on that either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful info! I will be sure to pack some Tide Free pods for my cruise on the Splendor in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Splendor - It was a matter of the guest adding soap. You can use whatever you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieQft Posted November 14, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I always use unscented laundry detergent because DH is allergic to the scents. We did use the Regent included detergent, though, and did not notice any scent, itch, etc., from it. IMO it is most probably unscented, but perhaps you could contact Regent with the question to be sure. It would seem that if it is "safe for the ocean," it would need to not include unnecessary chemicals like scents. The appropriate email address to contact Regent has been posted on CC many times, but I don't remember it. I just spent some time at rssc.com and looking at my booking confirmations, and if it is in there somewhere I could not find it. I guess they have a contact email, but really prefer that people not know about it and thus not use it.... Perhaps someone could chime in with that info? guestservices? onboardservices?

Rare wishIweretravelling Posted November 14, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I am currently on Splendor. As noted above, on this ship the detergent is dispensed from a wall unit (and overfills the cup provided). I am sensitive to scents and dyes and have not had an issue with it. I have not detected a scent from the clothes sent to the valet laundry service either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douginct Posted November 14, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 14, 2022 We have used the self serve washers on RSSC a couple of times. We pack All Free & Clear pods when we travel. No problem using them at all and they hardly take up any room in your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
