Laundry can be a surprisingly personal thing - whether you have a special way of hanging out your clothes or a foolproof way of getting your clothes to smell great. With this in mind, Fairy Non Bio would like to hear what you consider the most important when it comes to laundry, and what you’d love your laundry detergent to do.

Here’s what Fairy Non Bio has to say: “We have some people tell us that scent is the key to a great wash, others who won’t compromise of softness or those who are all about natural ingredients or the gentleness of the formula. We would love to know what you just cannot not go without?”

Do you focus on getting rid of any odour from your clothes? Perhaps it’s important to you that your laundry products are skin-friendly for the entire family? Maybe you put a lot of energy into keeping your clothes in great condition? Are you a lover of fabric conditioner, keen to ensure that your clothes are all super soft?

Whatever the most important aspect of laundry is to you, share this on the thread below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

the freshly washed smell!

Clean and stain free, fresh scent and lovely and soft.

having clean clothes at the end of it.

Clean clothes which smell nice and fresh using a product that cares for skin and fabric. It's not a lot to ask really is it

Making sure its all clean. And as an extra that they all smell lovely.

Trying to get my clothes dry without using the tumble dryer.Great in the summer when you can peg out, I've since started using a dehumidifer duing the winter which has been a great help.

Number one is the clothes need to be clean on a quick wash, washing machines these days can take hours and it is just not necessary for it to take so long!

It's important for me to remove the stains as much as possible. I also try to hang the clothes nicely so I don't have to iron them afterwards :)

Softness!

I only use non-bio detergent because I think it is the most gentle and know it won't irritate anyone's skin. Of course it also needs to be good at cleaning and removing stains. I like a nice fresh smell but nothing too overpowering but I do love it when it smells fresh for the whole day after washing.

stain removal anything else is a bonus

With my children, it has to be achieving white whites and stain removal. Can't stand it when the stain is almost out, or grease still lingers, and whites look the colour of bandages. Everything has to be spotless!

Clean and the smell!
Used fairy since I had my first baby and now I still use it because it reminds me of when he was tiny. Fairy smells like new baby

Getting the sheets and clothes nice and clean. Not too many fragrances as they trigger sneezing here, and I am doing a lot of washing due to having a small baby.

The washing - I want them to look clean and smell clean

Nice fresh smell rid of stains. Clothes soft and price got to be right

Being able to get clothes clean on a short low temperature was and long lasting scent

That it comes out spanking clean and smells good too!

actually cleaning quality is the most important for me followed by scent

The most important thing is a good detergent that cleans thoroughly and smells nice. Always throw in some fabric softener too :)

I use the washing powder that I do because other products caused a reaction on my baby's skin. 10 years later and I still use the same product because it cleans without leaving an overpowering artificial smell; because it's a powder and I can control the dosage (as opposed to tablets or capsules) and because it doesn't cost the earth.

My priority is clean and fresh smelling. My husband's priority is sensitive detergent to avoid aggravating his groin area- yes, some detergents have done that!

Stain free. Allergic reaction free and as positive as possible in ecological terms.

That all stains are gone!

Other than clean clothes! It's definitely natural ingredients and the gentleness of the formula is a big point for me. It's important that only gentle ingredients are on our clothes. I do also love gorgeously fresh smelling clothes too.
