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

Didn't notice a specific smell from the gel/cleaned clothes

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

All my laundry has always come out lovely and clean since using the fairy non bio

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

Absolutely. Clothes are definitely softer than my usual washing liquid

Thanks for choosing up to test Fairy non bio.

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

I personally felt it was quite strong and headachey but the rest of my family liked it and actually once the clothes were dry it wasn't as overwhelming so maybe it was just whilst actually doing the laundry that I found it off putting!

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

Extremely well- no complaints there and we gave it a very good test after days in the woods and a day at nursery.

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

Yes- lovely soft clothes, towels and bedding and no irritation to my son's sensitive skin.

Overall quite impressed but a little on the pricey side compared to powder for that many washes. Would buy again but probably mainly when on offer.

Thanks again

I thought it left our clothes smelling fresh but was not over powering great for sensitive skin. Clothes seemed soft but we did use our usual softner. I also found the gel easy to dose compared to the liquid.

1. What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel? I really didn't like it BUT I'm pregnant & currently can't stand the smell of my favourite perfume either. Dh & the dc say it's nice & not overpowering so I'd be inclined to agree with them!

2. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes? It got all the marks out well.

3. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin? Yes, myself & the dc have had no issues with irritation from our clothes while using Fairy Non Bio gel.

1. It smells really nice, my daughter commented on the smell and how nice it is.
2. It cleans my clothes brilliantly, still pop a scoop of vanish in but I have 2 small children one of whom is very sick so I need to use it for that and cleans as I would expect.
3. My daughters eczema has improved with the use of this and the clothes are so soft I have actually switched brand as the improvement of my daughters skin has been so good.

1. Nice clean smell. Fresh fragrance.
2. Worked well. No worse or better than most on the market at the moment.
3. Did well on toddler clothes!

Overall okay, but didn't like the dosing lid! made a noise in the machine's drum!

Smell- fresh and strong initially but i found it didn't last too long once clothes dry.
Tried on clothes, bed sheets, towels. Everything came out great condition in 1 wash.
Sensitive- both my boys have sensitive skin but neither had any reactions.
I'd buy this, but likely only if it's on special.

1. I really loved the smell - quite gentle and not too overpowering.
2. I was very happy with the results. All stains were gone after the wash.
3. Yes, the clothes felt definitely soft after the wash.

I was always a Persil girl at heart, but after trying Fairy non bio gel, I will alternate between Persil and Fairy (depending on which product is on offer in the shops).

What are your thoughts on the smell of Fairy Non Bio gel?
I loved the smell! I thought it all the clothes smelled clean and fresh with a lovely smell

It cleaned all the clothes really well. Having a 3 year old and a 6 month old there is a lot of mess to deal with but the fairy non bio worked well.

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

I really like it - not too strong, clean and comforting.

Well - for small loads I tend to use a quick wash cycle and it did a good job with only 15 minute washes

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

Definitely- my own skin is very sensitive, and both dc need to use sensitive/hypoallergenic products. The gel left their clothes soft and didn't irritate them at all.

1. Fresh, clean smell. Subtle scent on washing when dry.
2. Cleaned clothes as well as other non- biological washing powders I've used. Didn't get all stubborn stains out of baby clothes though.
3. Very soft and gentle. Felt happy using it on baby's clothes, bedding etc.

Clean and subtle.

2. How well did you feel Fairy Non Bio gel cleaned your clothes?
Excellent, got the smell out of my running gear!

3. Would you say Fairy Non Bio gel leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin?
I wouldn't say my clothes felt any different and no one else has mentioned anything.

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

Nice but subtle. You can't really smell it on washed clothes.

Very well, it shifted some stains and everything felt soft and clean.

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

Yes the washing felt soft when it came out of the machine. All my family have sensitive skin and none of us had any issues using this.

1. The smell of fairy non bio gel was A pleasantly subtle fresh smell that was not overpowering at all.

1. Fairy non bio gel cleaned all the clothes very well. My 2 year olds clothes are always messy with food everywhere, but I did not find any food stains anywhere on the clothes!

1. Fairy non bio gel definitely leaves clothes soft and gentle on sensitive skin. My 2 year old had very sensitive skin that reacted badly to other fragranced laundry detergents, but fairy non bio gel had absolutely no adverse effects on her, so I would definitely recommend to anyone for sensitive skin!

Hi mumsnet hq
My fairy didn't arrive sadly so I can't review! I've emailed in but no one replied!

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

I like the small, it isn't too overpowering and smells nice on my clothes

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

I felt it cleaned my clothes as well as other brands. I usually use a biological own brand and I feel this did just as good,

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

Yes, it seems to make my clothes soft and my daughter's skin hasn't reacted at all to this product.

Ive been using the same product in its powder form and I just love how easy and mess free the gel is.

The smell is I think the same lovely smell as the powder. It actually last longer! Very nice and delicate, just the smell you'de expect your DC to have on his cloths!

I love the way it managed to clean fruit and other food stain, very easily without having to treat them before the washing. I'd say that the powder cleans a bit better though.

Fairy gel does leave the cloths soft and gentle (we've used also the fairy fabric conditioner for newborn). Very happy with the results, not harsh on the skin and didn't cause any allergic reaction (not even an itch!).

we never separate between our cloths to the kids cloths, so we won't have to buy two sets of products. So we also enjoy the lovely smell that lasts for few days. 16 washes aren't enough though, it means two weeks of washing In our house (yes, fun fun fun) so bigger packaging and a better value for money would be my suggestion.
Nothing else, I'm happy :) x

Loved this. Smells lovely very clean and fresh.

Cleaned clothes very well considering my hubby uses oil at work and worked well on that and daughters shirts for school. Works especially well on whites.

I dont have sensitive skin but didnt have any problems

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

I love the smell. It's classic fairy non bio. Took me back to preparing for the arrival of my first two baby's. My partner didn't like it though. Thought it was too overpowering.

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

Yes cleaned it fine. These days non bio is as effective as bio.

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

Yes they did feel different - softer.

Sorry further feedback. I'm currently considering switching back to powder laundry products. Much better packaging environmentally.

I thought the smell was too strong and considering it's for a sensitive product for babies, it's an extra not needed. It disappears once dry.

The fairy non bio cleaned the clothes well and it did get the clothes clean. They didn't have any major stains on them prior to washing.

I'm not sure and couldn't say for sure if the clothes I washed left them softer on sensitive skin, but no extra irritation was felt after washing with fairy non bio gel.

1. the smell is nice- clean, fresh, not too intrusive
2. Worked well to clean our clothes- particularly pleased with a couple of tops which had been badly stained by our weaning baby, and which seem almost back to normal now!

1. The clothes feel soft and seem to be gentle on our skin.

Thanks
