Thought the Fairy Non Bio smelt lovely & clean.I usually use the Aldi non bio liquid,but this cleaned just as well.I only used it on my 1 year old Sons clothes.Would say was soft & gentle on sensitive skin,as baby had no adverse reactions to it.Thanks for letting me trial this product.

1. it smells like fairy non-bio always does, which to me is the smell of clean. It's non-offensive and not too strong. I associate that smell with clean clothes and freshness.

2. I usually use fairy non-bio liquid, in the past I used the powder - I'm vary loyal to Fairy because it doesn't irritate DS's eczema. The gel worked as I expected, we wash at 30 and don't particularly separate clothes etc but all was perfect.

3. yes. We always use Fairy non-bio in one form or another because it is gentle on DSs skin. It seems quite mild - but it works. Clothes are always soft and lovely after washing.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FREEBIE, MINE ARRIVED A BIT LATE BUT HAVE A LOAD ON NOW SO WILL LET YOU KNOW SHORTLY HOW I GOT ON. SEEMS TO HAVE A PLEASANT SMELL.

WASH DONE, BRILLIANT RESULTS. 5 STARS.

Left them nice and ckean

It's perfect on newborn skin

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

Loved the smell - very clean and dress so exactly what I'd choose over other scented products.

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

Well, I can't say I noticed any dramatic difference but it was pleasant to use.

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

No more so than any other products I would already use in my wash.

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

Very nice, clean, not overpowering smell.

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

Really well, I've used it so far on two loads of my son's clothes and bedding, two lots of ours, and some towels. All have come out clean and fresh!

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

Yes I would, I currently use Fairy Non Bio liquid but will now consider switching to gel!

What a great surprise have the gel delivered then get the email later in the day!
Right on with the review...

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

The gel smells great and fresh but that smell doesn't seem to last in the clothes when dry as the powder does even when the clothes are hung up the second they are finished.

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

The gel cleaned very well I had no issues even with a 3 year old and a 5 month old it copied very well!
I noticed no difference to the powder I normally use.

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

Yes I would.

The only issue I had was that the smell didn't last but otherwise was very happy with the gel.

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

I really like the smell - clean and fresh without being overpowering.

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

Surprisingly well - I usually use a bio detergent as I've got 2 older children who get incredibly mucky (5 and 2). Fairy has done an excellent job of cleaning their clothes.

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

Yes definitely. I'm so pleased with it that I've now started washing my 10 week old baby's clothes alongside the older two's, instead of doing a separate wash with a sensitive detergent.

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

Smells very nice - weirdly thought it smelt more masculine than my normal pods but lovely all the same.

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

It couldn't get out a tomato stain (ground into the elbow of a white top) but I wasn't expecting a miracle! Otherwise it cleaned well.

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

Yes, no complaints here!

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

It's nice - not quite the same, but similar to Fairy powder.

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

It has done well with normal clothes, towels, etc and lots of baby-projectile-vomit-soaked clothes and bedding. The only thing I've noticed it failing on was a spot of blood on a white pillowcase (from DH's shaving cut).

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

I haven't noticed them being much softer than before but they are definitely not rougher. The same or better as usual! None of us in the family, including a small baby, have had any issues with it.

1. I really like the smell of this, it has a pleasant, fresh and clean fragrance that isn't too overpowering.

1. Unfortunately it didn't remove all of the stains from some of my toddlers clothes, sadly I have found this to be the case with most non bio wash detergents.

1. Clothes did come out very soft so I would definitely say that it's gentle on sensitive skin.

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

Really lovely, very fresh and natural smelling

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

Very well, it did better with a high temperature stains wash than my normal product

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

Yes definitely

Generally I prefer washing products that don't need to go in a plastic dosing cup as we have a washer-dryer and it doesn't work if I want to put a wash-dry load on. That would be a drawback for me. Also I found the dosing instructions a bit confusing but squirting the gel in was strangely satisfying!

All in all I was really impressed with it and would definitely buy and recommend.

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

I purposely didn't add fabric softener to get a true smell of the washed clothes and they smelt lovely and fresh.

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

Majority of the wash came out clean just a vest my toddler had worn the day before didn't wash completely clean and has stained.

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

Yes they dried nice and soft despite not having used fabric softener so I am happy they are gentle on the skin.

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

I think it smells absolutely divine, one of the best smelling laundry products I've used.

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

It cleaned well, a few pen marks and dirt marks on the kids clothes had gone once washed.

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

Yes, have used this for clothes worn by a 4 month old, 3 year old, 6 year old and my husband who has sensitive skin, its been fine for all of them.

I would also like to add since i did my review i had to put a load of soft toys through the wash due to sickness and they have come up amazing, cleaner and softer. Some stains that i did not think would come out due to the age have!! i am so impressed

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

• Nice and fresh but not overpowering.

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

• The Fairy cleaned well, even on nursery food/paint mess and muddy dog things. I even used some neat as a prestain after a nappy explosion and it salvaged a babygrow!

The bedding and cuddlies in our house smell fab and ds' trainers came out sparkling.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of fairy non bio gel?

I liked the smell - but unfortunately don't think the smell was still there when the clothes were washed.

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

I was impressed! It cleaned the poo stained vests from a 10 week old very well and food stains from a 4 year old.

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

Most definitely. Clothes were very soft and prefect for my husband and daughter who have sensitive, eczema prone skin.

3. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin? Yes no adverse reactions from anyone and my children have sensitive skin so all good

I love the smell of the gel. It also seems to leave our clothes clean and smelling nice for a while. My daughter has very sensitive skin but it didn't seem to cause it any problems. I liked it and would probably buy it again if the price was right.

Lovely, fresh smell.

Yes, having slightly sensitive skin myself from some washing products, there was no reaction from Fairy Non Bio gel, and everything felt nice and soft, plus no issues for either of my two boys.

Very well - coped admirably with blw baby vests!

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

Yes - we're an eczema prone, sensitive skinned family and no one had any issues with this.

I didn't use it for the nappies - I'm sure I've read you should only use powder but can't remember why? Liked it very much for everything else - will def buy it if it's on offer!
