Really good clean, removed normal baby food stains.

Yes, our family has sensitive skin and it's been fine. Clothes feel great too.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

I really liked it, it smelt fresh and clean and lasted a good while. I preferred it it the smell of my normal washing powder.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Seemed to clean things well, I have a toddler and baby and it seemed to get things clean!

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes for sure, my skin and one of my daughters has very sensitive skin to washing products and we had no issue with this one. The clothes all felt good and soft after using it. Thank you for picking us to try it!

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

Seems nice and fresh but not overpowering.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

It washes most things well and I'm happy with that but it doesn't take out baby poo stains or blood stains even on high temperatures. I wouldn't expect it to though.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

It didn't seem softer than other washes - we live in a very hard water area and everything comes out pretty hard! My husband has bad eczema so we use a non perfumed detergent for him but I've used this with both DS (5) and DD (2 months) and they've both been fine with it.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

I really liked the smell, it was very fresh and clean smelling.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

I thought I cleaned very well one of my DD's is great at spilling food on her clothes and we've had many a thing ruined after only one or two washes and this got out anything she she got on her clothes.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes, that clothes and towels felt and smelled great. My DD doesn't have any allergies but is always complaining of itchy skin (so we usually stick to the same brand, just in case) but this didn't irritate her at all.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?
I quiet liked the smell, after the wash it wasn't over powering. Even DD whom these thing generally pass unnoticed said her bed smelled extra clean.

2. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?
I think it did a fair job, that said I live in a very hard water area and have a large capacity washing machine, I felt that if I had to do a very dirty load, it wouldn't have enough liquid to actually clean the clothes - I'd really be interested to hear what Fairy recommend for that?

3. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?
Definitely, I haven't reacted at all to it, and I generally have to be very careful what I use particularly with knickers, socks and t-shirts.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

Love the smell of Fairy, leaves clothes smelling fresh and clean. Not overwhelming at all.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Fairy worked really well cleaning stains off clothes and general marks from my two children. E.g. Paint, food etc.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

I used Fairy for both my children (7 weeks old and 2 years old) Have had no problems with it. Even better combined with Fairy Fabric Conditioner!

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

I think it's a really lovely, comforting smell.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

It did a good job, I couldn't see any stains or dirt left on afterwards.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin? Yes, I have fairly sensitive skin and the clothes felt lovely to put on afterwards.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

I love the smell, noticed it as soon as I opened the machine. Left clothes feeling fresh and the scent is subtle.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Well. I'm impressed. Everyday stains came out although I'd still use a stain remover for anything really tough.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

I don't have sensitive skin but I liked the feel of the clothes and am happy using it for my two young children.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

I liked the smell. Fresh and fairly strong but not offensive. I like that it's not a floral scent too. I found it a bit addictive to sniff once the clothes came out

2. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?
Cleaned our clothes as any other degregent I've come across but then we didn't have any big stains this week to tackle so that would be the real test.

3. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

We are a family with sensitive skin and none of us have had a reaction which is great.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

It is a lovely scent, not overpowering, but lingers pleasantly after clothes have dried.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Very well. I have to say we are not particularly challenging, just the usual bits of food and toddler stains which all came out easily. Everything felt clean.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes. I usually react to bio liquid if I spill it on my hand and I swapped to Fairy a while back for this reason. I always have a bottle in the cupboard and stock up when it is on special, which is fairly often. We are very happy with it.

We all love the smell- very fresh, like a garden in the Spring
Our clothes, towels and bedsheets feel lovely and soft. Cleans very effectively
Excellent for sensitive skin- the whole family has judged the trial a success

I too wasn't aware I had been chosen until the postman arrived. Then got the email, I liked that added surprise!! We are in washing city here as currently have my parent's living here also.

What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

I really like it, the smell is fresh clean and I found it lasts even after bring on the line (yippee nearly summer, ok maybe not) .

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Oh we tested this, on a normal wash at 30 or 40 average dirt it does well. Chocolate/ geass strains not too bad but does need a pretreat if really grubby.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin? Yes the clothes were soft and will use tnis without a doubt when my little one born.

Overall a good product would highly recommend. Thank you so much for the opportunity x

1.The smell was pleasant and not too overpowering. I'm not keen on strong smells so this was good.

1. Got out the muddy stains from a trip to the park so it must work well.
2. Has not irritated the skin of my dc who is sensitive. I like it!

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

Lovely. Not overpowering. Smells just like freshly washed clothes should do. The fragrance lasted too.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Impressed with the cleaning power, removed a number of stains including mud and food including chocolate and baby purée and. The latter were on a 60 wash though.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes, we have previously used Fairy non bio powder and we're just as pleased with the gel. For a family with sensitive skin it's a great product from a brand we can trust.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

The smell is nice, clean and fresh, not overpowering.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

It's really good! Nice and thick, and bright blue so you can see it in the washer drawer. I'm a squirter, not a measurer, and it was easy to squirt in the correct amount.
It was brilliant on the football kits, which were very muddy. It's done coats, thick hoodies, my toddler's filthy chocolate coated top... everything very well, actually.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes; as I have 2/3 of my kids with slight excema type issues, and they've been totally fine. I am very pleased with it, thanks for letting me test.

Pleasantly surprised with my delivery last week. Only do laundry on the weekends though so had to wait for the weekly wash.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

Smells like candy floss but in a not sickly good way. I liked it!

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

They seem pretty clean. Got the sick out of DD's jumper so top marks.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes, its great. I suffer from eczema so can't use other commercial cleaners. Non-Bio is great for my sensitive skin.

hat are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?
It smells clean, which is very welcome when the clothes you're washing are covered in baby sick.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Very well - even got some baby poo stains out. You know, the nasty yellow ones.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin

Yes - which is important when you have a little one, my youngest is only 3 months old.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

The smell is very nice, fresh and not over powering.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Clothes cleaned up really well, even grass stains onthe kids denim jeans.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Both my children have eczema and Fairy non bio has been very gentle, no reactions.

This was a pleasant surprise in the post as I had run out of detergent and was just popping out to buy some more!

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio Gel? I thought the product smelled good- a very fresh smell.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes? It was effective in cleaning the clothes and they smelled fresh-so no complaints.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?Yes, we're a family of eczema suffers and no complaints here. I don't use fabric softener generally but the clothes came out of the wash softer than usual, so that's another bonus.

What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?
I love the smell, its very fresh and clean smelling without a chemically scent.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

It worked as well as i expected, it got most things clean.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

It left the school shirts soft and towels were also soft.

1. Really like the smell for fairy non bio. It smells fresh and clean but not overwhelmingly so which is good

1. I think it stands up really well to anything. We had a weekend of sickness on our house plus a newborn baby - everything has cleaned really well and is fresh which is great

1. Yes fairy is soft and gentle. My husband has very sensitive skin and he mentioned how soft it was. Towels, sheets, clothes, even delicate wash woollens come up great

Highly recommend

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

Love the smell of fairy however I don't think it's as fresh as the liquitabs

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

Cleaned really well lots of baby and toddler stains.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on skin.?

Yes very soft and haven't had a problem and used for newborn and toddler.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?

Smell is so lovely, not too strong and at the same time not so weak that you can't notice it.It reminds me kind of candies fragrance from my childhood. I dried my washing outside and smell is fantastic while clothes are drying.

1. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?

I do think that Fairy non bio cleaned clothes well,but I should add that items with stains I rubbed little bit with Fairy non bio before putting in wash and adding more Fairy non bio.

1. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?

Yes clothes are soft, laundry detergent washes out from clothes well and child with sensitive skin don't get any rash or itch.

1. Love the smell, it always makes me feel more positive when it smells great to start with! The clothes had a lovely fresh smell when they came out too

1. Seemed to clean well, dealt easily with a baby vest poonami and a toddler outfit covered in paint! We never use pre washes or stain remover so nice to know this doesn't seem to need it

1. Clothes felt quite soft after being on the airer but very soft for those we tumble dried, the toddler has very sensitive skin and both toddler, baby and dh have eczema and none of them noticed I'd changed what we were using/had any sort of reaction to it

Generally, we really liked it! Everything has felt lovely and clean and the clean smell really lasts. the only downside for me is that it's quite a tough plastic bottle for a relatively small number of washes, obviously we recycle but I'd probably prefer to buy a much bigger size to reduce the number of plastic bottles we would go through :)

I love the smell. Very clean and fresh without being overpowering. As a migraine sufferer, it's one of the few scents that doesn't give me a headache. Brought the clothes up lovely, very soft and fresh and I'm finding that the scent lingers rather than wearing off quickly. It's fantastic for the baby's clothes, leaves them soft on his skin and doesn't seem to make him itchy.
