The 14 best laundry detergents according to Mumsnetters
Get your whites whiter and your colours brighter with our guide to the best laundry detergents for every budget and skin type, as recommended by parents.
By Lucy Cotterill | Last updated Mar 19, 2024
‘Which is the best laundry detergent?’, much like ‘Which is the best dehumidifier?’, divides opinion across Mumsnet and raises further questions for our users. Do liquid detergents really make your washing machine smell? Do washing powders actually clog up your drains? Is it even possible to remove stains effectively at 30 degrees? With so many questions that need answering, why not let us knock one or two off your list with our comprehensive guide to the best laundry detergents?
Choosing between pods, powder, gel or liquid to get the best results is a decisive topic split by skin type, budget and personal preference, but at the heart of it all is a universal want to have clothes that are cleaner than clean and make us feel good. After all, it is one of life’s daily essentials, and with energy prices rising, no one wants to run multiple cycles trying to lift the stubborn stains of tomato soup from baby grows or grass stains from a school P.E. kit. So, how do you choose between those that’ll have you slipping between clean, scented bed sheets and those that’ll discolour clothing and irritate skin?
Much like our guide to the best laundry detergent for babies, we have a laundry detergent for everyone from the best-smelling to the best stain remover to the best environmentally friendly. Using our three-step verification process, we’ve researched the real-world opinions of our 10 million Mumsnet users, cross-referenced their recommendations with the experts and investigated customer reviews of each product. The end result? The 14 best laundry detergents that’ll keep your colours bright and whites white, as tried and trusted by parents.

Affordably priced, with a fresh, clean scent, Daz is a one-size-fits-all laundry detergent (available as powder, pods or liquid) that’ll make quick work of your family’s overflowing laundry basket.

If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of getting home from a particularly muddy walk with your family only to discover you’ve run out of laundry detergent, then Smol’s subscription service could be your new best friend. Highly recommended by Mumsnet users and incredibly popular online, Smol has revolutionised household cleaning products and earned its place in our top three best laundry detergents.

Gorgeous scent that lasts a long time on clothing

In today’s economy, we’re all struggling with ways to save money where we can, which is why Bold’s 2-in-1 gel laundry detergent and fabric softener can be an absolute game changer. Why buy two bottles when you can buy one? Cutting back doesn’t have to mean sacrificing great-smelling laundry, especially if you love the relaxing, calming scents of Lavender and Camomile, perfect for pyjamas!
However, Bold’s not just all about smelling good. They’re about helping your clothes look good too! Effective even at cold temperatures, Bold’s 2-in-1 gel promises to keep colours vibrant and lift stains with ease. The only hitch is that it is bleach-free, which means it can build up in the drum causing foul smells and mould to grow, so investing in the best washing machine cleaner is necessary. However, don’t let that put you off; this is another highly recommended Mumsnetter product that’ll help keep you on top of your laundry pile!

Entirely plastic-free, cruelty-free and kind to the environment
Non-bio, unscented and kind to sensitive skin
Effective cleaning on a subscription
Not as tough on stains as other detergents
Price on writing: £9 | Cost per wash: 25p | Number of washes: 40 | Size: 20 sheets | Format: Laundry Sheets | Scented: No - Fragrance-free | Type: Non-bio
Not to be confused with the sheets you pop in your tumble dryer, Earth Breeze’s innovative laundry sheets are an entirely new and environmentally friendly way to clean your family’s clothes - taking conscious-free cleaning to a whole other level!
Popular with Mumsnet users for their ethical values, which include putting planet-before-profit and charity donations to homeless and women’s shelters, Earth Breeze laundry sheets will take care of your clothes and skin and make you feel good simultaneously. But how do they work? Made from dissolvable washing powder, place them directly in the drum or inside the detergent draw on your washing machine for a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic clean (alternatively, you can buy them freshly scented). We’d recommend them for lightly stained clothing, but for anything as tough as tomato or red wine, we’d definitely use a spot treatment first.
Powerful stain remover, even in a cold wash
All-in-one pods, so there is no need for additional products
XXL pack is cost-effective
More expensive than other competitive brands
Price on writing: £34 | Cost per wash: 28p | Number of washes: 120 | Size: 3.76kg | Format: Pods | Scented: Yes (Fresh) | Type: Bio
If your family are prone to creating really stubborn stains such as grass, curries, pasta sauce or dried-on mud, some traditional laundry detergents can struggle to remove them the first time, but not Ariel All-in-One Platinum Pods.
Combining the power of a traditional Ariel detergent with an Oxi Stain Remover, they lift off dirt and remove stains easily that other detergents would leave behind (even on a cold wash!). Their pods are super simple to use; throw a pod on top of your washing for freshly scented clothing every time (with no need for faffing about with scoops and measurements). You won’t need to purchase additional products like fabric conditioners either, as they’re the perfect all-in-one solution to your family’s laundry pile. Although the initial outlay is expensive, this XXL bag will last a while and save you time on your to-do list.

Finding products that don’t irritate sensitive skin can be a lengthy (and painful) case of trial and error that results in carefully swapping between products for different family members adding hours to your laundry routine. However, that needn’t be the case with Surcare Sensitive.
With no enzymes, no dyes, no acids, and no fragrance, they’ve nailed their gentle formula to create a simple detergent approved by Allergy UK. Whilst some may miss the familiar clean fragrance produced by some of the other detergents in our list, Surcare’s washing powder is far less likely to irritate your skin – and Mumsnetters even recommended this for use during pregnancy and with babies. However, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice cleaning power. Surcare Sensitive washing powder deep cleans your whole family’s laundry pile and washing machine simultaneously without needing separate products.
Ideal for babies, dermatologically safe and accredited by the Skin Health Alliance
Effective at cleaning clothes and easy to use
Voted #1 laundry brand for sensitive skin

Ecover Non-Bio Laundry Liquid
Eco-friendly and vegan-friendly, good for the planet
Dermatologically tested and kind to sensitive skin

Price on writing: £12 | Cost per wash: 25p | Number of washes: 42 | Size: 1.5L| Format: Liquid | Scented: Yes (Sandalwood, Lavender) | Type: Non-bio
With temperatures rising and the effects of climate change being felt worldwide, more and more parents are looking for simple, affordable, eco-friendly product swaps on our forums, with Ecover being one of the most recommended brands. Although it may be on the pricier side, Mumsnetters promise the initial expense is worth it for the inner glow of goodness, delicious scent and the ability to buy cost-effective five-litre refills.
Created in their Zero Waste Factory, Ecover's laundry liquid is dedicated to saving the planet one recyclable bottle at a time with their vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, plant-based formula suitable for sensitive skin. We know you’ll particularly love its gorgeous lavender and sandalwood scent, leaving your laundry room smelling divine as clothes dry on your heated airer.

Hypoallergenic formula, kind to skin, clothes and your machine
Suitable for hand washing and in your washing machine
Renews fabric fibres, prevents shape loss and bobbling
Expensive, small bottle and limited number of washes
Price on writing: £7 | Cost per wash: 41p | Number of washes: 12 | Size: 750ml | Format: Liquid | Scented: Yes (Floral) | Type: Non-bio
Washing your super-soft cashmere jumper or brand-new silk blouse can be a risky business. They often come with lengthy tags and lists of dos and don’ts to keep them looking new. However, one wrong move and you’ll open up your washing machine to fuzzy fabrics and shrunken sizes. Okay, so some of it might be salvageable with a debobbler and a little stretching, but finding a way to prevent damage and protect your clothing is a must. That’s why we’re recommending Woolite Delicates laundry detergent.
Recommended by Mumsnetters across the forums, Woolite are synonymous with high-quality garment care, much like a clothes steamer, with a formula designed to protect and renew and is safe to use as a hand wash or in your washing machine. This laundry detergent uses naturally-occurring keratin (found in your hair, nails and skin) to help your woolly jumpers and your lacey knickers retain their elasticity and stay soft whilst leaving behind a sweet floral scent. Oh, and it's hypo-allergenic, too, so perfectly okay to use for sensitive skin. Although this bottle is small and expensive for what it is, it does have fantastic cleaning power and is guaranteed to guard against laundry disasters giving you a little peace of mind.
Powerful and effective stain remover even at low temperatures, whiter than white results
Chlorine-free formula, safe on everyday fabrics
Amazing as a pre-treatment or pre-soak
Specifically designed for whites and not safe to use on all fabrics
Price on writing: £17 | Cost per wash: £1 | Number of washes: 24 | Size: 1.4kg | Format: Powder | Scented: Yes (Floral) | Type: Bio
From collared work shirts to cotton summer dresses, it is known that white clothing can become grey and lifeless over time. Not to mention how easily they can become stained from misjudged lunch mishaps or happy hour glasses of red wine - taking care of your white clothing can be tricky. That’s why we are recommended Vanish’s Platinum Oxi-Action Crystal White washing powder as our best laundry detergent for white clothing.
Tough on stains (even in a cold wash) and able to turn dull greys into sparkling whites, Vanish have nailed its chlorine-free formula to work on all everyday fabric types, from cotton to polyester. With just one scoop into your washing machine with your children’s white socks and your partner’s well-worn work shirts, you’ll feel like you have a whole new wardrobe. You can even use it for pre-soaking and pre-treating stains for the extra lift when you need it most; just be careful not to use it on silk blouses or woolly jumpers, as it isn’t safe for all fabrics. Versatile, powerful and effective, Vanish’s Crystal White laundry detergent is an absolute lifesaver for any family.
Its gorgeous, tropical scent leaves clothes smelling fresher for longer
Concentrated formula that washes at low temperatures
Often is available on offer
The smell is quite strong if you’re not keen on highly scented detergents
Price on writing: £18 | Cost per wash: 21p | Number of washes: 85 | Size: 2.9L| Format: Liquid | Scented: Yes (Tropical Lily and Ylang Ylang) | Type: Bio
We’d all prefer a week on a desert island, but if you want to be mentally transported to an exotic paradise each time you run a load of laundry, look no further than Surf.
Mumsnet users love that the Surf tropical lily and ylang-ylang fragrance stays present on fabrics long after your clothes have dried, giving you that comforting ‘fresh out the machine’ feeling the second you open your wardrobe doors. Bonus: it's available as pods and a washing powder and is not that pricey compared to many other detergents, and you'll often find it on offer in the shops!
Cost-effective and affordably priced
Eco-friendly, natural alternative to laundry detergent
Dermatologically safe for sensitive skin and hypoallergenic
Not as effective against stains as laundry detergent
Price on writing: £10 | Cost per wash: 3p | Number of washes: 300 | Size: 1 kg | Format: Soap nuts | Scented: No - Fragrance free | Type: Non-bio
Soap nuts have as many lovers as loathers on Mumsnet, but hear us out. While they may not be as good at removing stains as some of the more technical brands, they are a great, naturally-sourced alternative to your usual powders and liquids that will do the trick on your daily washing.
They're also organic, biodegradable and hypoallergenic. Compared to traditional laundry detergents, you get a huge amount of washes for your money, too - working out at just 2p per wash load. Most advice says to treat heavy stains before loading them in with soap nuts and adding an essential oil if you'd like a fresh scent.
Beautiful fragrances that last even after drying
Vegan-friendly, plant-based formula
Eco-friendly ingredients
Cleans well
Slightly more expensive than similar laundry products
If you are not a fan of strong scents, this probably isn't for you
More product is needed if you live in a hard water area
Price on writing: £8 | Cost per wash: 28p | Number of washes: 28 | Size: 1l | Format: Liquid | Scented: Yes | Type: Non-bio
If you are fed up with laundry products that smell great in the bottle but find that same fresh fragrance doesn’t transfer to your washing, then we have found the products for you.
The Wilton London laundry range comes in an array of heavenly scents that not only makes your washing smell amazing, but your towels, clothes and bed linen keep the fragrance from washing line to wardrobe (or airing cupboard).
The downside is that it is a bit pricey, so you may decide to keep a bottle in just for your bed sheets or posh towels, rather than for general everyday use. And beware if you live in a hard water area, as you will need to use more of the product, which will end up costing you more in the long run.

What does laundry detergent do?
Laundry detergents come in various forms (pods, liquid and powder), but all work similarly. When combined with water in your washing machine, they penetrate deep into the fabric of your clothes, lifting stubborn stains, dirt, bacteria and allergens before the rinse and spin cycle washes them away. Good quality laundry detergents are effective even at low temperatures, brightening whites and refreshing clothes whilst protecting fabrics and colours.
How can I save money on laundry detergent?
During a cost of living crisis, we’re all trying to find ways to make our weekly shops go further. Here are some ways to save money on your laundry detergent:
Buy in bulk - Whilst larger laundry detergent packs may be a little more challenging to store, it often works out far cheaper on a cost-per-wash basis.
Take care not to overdose - Some detergents come predosed, such as laundry pods, whilst others require careful dosings, like liquids and powders, to avoid using more than you need. To prevent this, read the packaging carefully and follow the dosing instructions to make your purchases last longer. You could even reduce the amount by a fraction to gain an extra wash or two.
Make the switch - If you are shocked at the price of your big brand's detergents, you may want to consider switching to a supermarket’s own brand alternative. Many Mumsnet users couldn’t tell the difference in cleaning capabilities but found it saved them significant money on their weekly shop.
Opt for an alternative to laundry detergent - If you really want to reduce the cost of cleaning your family’s laundry, products such as the Ecozone Soap Nuts make a great alternative. You may miss the ‘just washed’ fragrance, but it’ll easily cut your shopping bill and free up funds for use elsewhere.
How do I choose the best laundry detergent?
There are many laundry detergents, so how do you know which is right for you? Here are some things to consider when making your choice:
Scent - How strong is the fragrance? Would you like your clothes to have a noticeable scent fresh out of the machine, or would you prefer a fragrance-free option instead?
Eco-friendly - Is the brand eco-friendly? How much plastic waste does it create? Is the brand an ethical choice that is vegan-friendly and not tested on animals?
Family’s needs - If you have nappies to wash or a child with eczema, you’ll want something without dyes and fragrances or for sensitive skin, for example. On the other hand, if you have football kits and mucky nursery clothes to deal with, you want a reasonably robust non-bio to get the job done.
Type of detergent - You’ll need to choose between liquid and powder detergents, which both have pros and cons. Liquid detergents (particularly liquid capsules) are thought to be bad for the long-term health of your washing machine. Still, powders don’t dissolve so well and occasionally leave streaks on clothing. On the other hand, liquids are better for coloured and dark washes and powders for a brighter white.
Alternatives - There are other options, such as soap nuts, which aren’t detergents but will still clean your clothes.
Bio or non-bio - You’ll also need to decide between bio and non-bio products (more of that below) and natural detergents, which will all depend on your laundry needs.
Hard or soft water - It's helpful to look into the kind of water you have in your area, as those in particularly hard water areas (hello, Milton Keynes and Bath) may need to choose their detergent more carefully. You can find more information on this here.
Fabric Type - It's also common to use a different kind of product for various clothing items – as your gym wear or the kids' school uniforms may need that little extra cleaning oomph.
Ease of Storage - How will you store your laundry detergent? Being able to buy in bulk will make laundry detergent much cheaper, but if you don’t have somewhere to keep it, this can become a huge pain. You could try one of the letterbox subscription services, such as Smol; however, if you are out all day, this can be a nuisance, too.
What is the most effective type of laundry detergent (powder, liquid, gel or pods)?
A popular talk topic on our forums, the general consensus is (between Mumsnetters, laundry experts and washing machine brands) that washing powder is the most affordable and effective laundry detergent format that’ll clean your clothes and take care of your machine.
However, that does not mean you should pour away your liquids and chuck out your pods because they have their advantages, too. For example, gels and liquids are kinder to different fabric types and coloured or dark clothing, whereas pods are convenient and quick to use for a family on the go.
Ultimately, it all comes down to personal preference. You know your family’s needs and laundry routine best, so using our guide to make an informed decision is probably your best bet for finding one to suit you.
What is the difference between bio and non-bio?
Simply put, biological laundry detergents contain an enzyme that actively works to break down stains and remove them from fabric. While this is obviously great news for the more (ahem) sullied of clothes, it is by definition a little bit harsher, so it can be damaging to delicate clothing (wool and silk, for example) and more sensitive skin. Although some disagree, the rule of thumb is that it's best to try different types and see what works for your family.
Non-bio washing detergent does not contain this enzyme, meaning it's gentler on your clothes and kinder to your skin. Because of this, it's not quite as powerful at getting dirt out of clothes, but it will generally be more forgiving. If you want a really neutral detergent, natural, non-bio detergent is your best bet.
Which laundry detergents are eco-friendly?
Picking an eco-friendly laundry detergent requires you to think about the following:
The company’s carbon footprint and mission statement
The ingredients and chemicals it uses
Whether they test on animals
What awards and accreditations it has
The packaging it comes in
Whether it is refillable
Laundry detergents such as Bio-D Non-Bio Washing Powder and Ecover’s Non-bio Laundry Liquid are eco-friendly, as are the Ecozone soapnuts.
How much laundry detergent should I use?
How much laundry detergent you use depends on how soiled the clothes are, how big your drum is and how hard your water is, but a basic rule of thumb is as follows:
Tablets and liquitabs - 1 per wash
Powder - 110ml per wash
Liquid detergent - 30-35ml per wash
You can always add a little more if you think the wash needs it, but remember that most of us are using too much detergent regularly, and water does a pretty good job on its own, so you don’t need it to overdo the detergent.
Which is the best laundry detergent?
Obviously, the best laundry detergent is a very personal choice, so what’s good for you and your family may not be the best for someone else. That said, we recommend Daz as our best overall laundry detergent that is effective even at low temperatures whilst protecting colours and brightening whites. Affordably priced and with great value for money, many families are rediscovering the fantastic cleaning power of this brand.
How we chose our recommendations
Recommendations from real Mumsnet users
Before we recommend new products, we start our research using recommendations from Mumsnet users, of which there are more than 10 million each month. We sought out the trusted opinions of Mumsnet users to get their feedback on their favourite laundry detergents, including the brands they rate, recommend and use in their homes. We investigated Mumsnet users’ preferences around powders, liquids and pods and researched the products they felt worked best on stain removal and whitening whites. We also looked out for any negative reviews, where Mumsetters highlighted products that they felt were overpriced, hard to dose or struggled to tackle those more stubborn stains the first time.
Expert opinions
Next up, we considered reviews and feedback from trusted industry experts. We want to be confident that the products we recommend are fit for purpose, so we looked out for award-winning or well-regarded products, including those recommended by laundry experts, washing machine brands and consumer champions such as Which. We also looked for Allergy UK and The Vegan Society accreditations, which showcase brands' suitability for sensitive skin and their policies relating to animal testing.
Authentic consumer reviews
Finally, to bring you our definitive list of the best laundry detergents on the market, we thoroughly investigated genuine, in-depth customer reviews on retailer sites such as Amazon to get broader consumer experiences regarding the products on our shortlist.
Celebrated Laundry Detergents
Ultimately, this left us with the best laundry detergents available today as recommended by parents, trusted by experts and rated by previous customers.
Why you should trust us
All Mumsnet product reviews are written and informed by the opinions of real parents - brands can't pay us to be featured in our articles or to be awarded our best overall title.
That's why we spend hours researching, analysing and comparing products to ensure that every product is worthy of making our shortlist.
Transparency is at the heart of Mumsnet, and that's why we work hard to provide unbiased, independent advice our readers can trust.
Although, we do sometimes earn revenue through affiliate (click-to-buy) links in our articles. This helps us fund more extensively researched articles like this one.
