The Best Natural Laundry Detergents

This it what I use for the whole family's clothing! I used to buy separate laundry detergent for my child's clothing that was free of any harsh chemicals but then I made the wise choice to switch to one that was free and clear for us all. My husband is a manly man who frequently makes his clothes very smelly and Tide Free and Clear does a great job of getting out even the smelliest smells. ...read more

For over a year I broke out in awful hives, at times having to go to the emergency room. None of the doctors knew what was causing it, and assumed it was a food allergy. All while this was happening, my husband was suffering from sever eczema, and his dermatologist recommended free and clear detergent. I'm happy to say that my husband's exczema greatly improved after switching to All Free and Clear detergent, and I haven't had hives in two years. Just straightforward detergent that cleans your clothes without unnecessary chemicals! ...read more

Love The Honest Company natural liquid laundry detergent! I began using this detergent because I had a coupon, and they were out of my usual free & clear detergent. Let me tell you, natural detergents work just as good or better than your usual detergents, possibly better. Also, for your white/ivory, light clothing, you will notice that there is no 'blue hue' like you would see with detergents that are not free of dyes. Natural detergents also have a way of naturally softening your clothes, so there is no need to add a fabric softener. Win, win! If you've not yet tried this detergent, you really should! ...read more

I basically love anything that smells like lavender. So when Influenster sent me a free sample and coupon for Tide Purclean Honey Lavender at Target, I couldn't wait to try. I did some research and found that it's 65% bio-based and made with 100% renewable wind power, which impressed me that Tide is attempting to be more environmentally conscious and sustainable. Today I finally washed a load of my and my daughters clothes using the sample and I was, as expected, totally in love with the scent and made a point to notice that the clothes were soft. However, if you are sensitive to strong scent, this is definitely noticeable even after drying -- in a good way! We use Tide pods regularly, but I'm going to switch to the Purclean because of the added great benefits and the fantastic smell. This is my honest review and is 100% my own. ...read more

I have extremely sensitive skin, and I mean extremely sensitive. I've used several different detergents in the last couple of years and have always broken out in hives and crazy rashes from them. I purchased the Mrs. Meyers laundry detergent in lavender scent a little while ago and am so happy I've found something that won't irritate my skin. It also cleans your clothes so well! The smell is also amazing and it stays on my clothes even after I've worn them! I will definitely keep buying this product! ...read more

I'm absolutely blown away by this detergent!!! We are big time tide users in my family, but recently they must have changed something because it does nothing but break me and my daughter out bad!! So we went on the hunt for something new. This one caught my eye because 1, I had a coupon, and 2, it has the cool pump. (which makes it so easy to use! No measuring or anything, just pump it into the wash and ur done!) so I got it and to be honest, forgot I had it for a bit. Then one day I was washing clothes and threw in my favorite sweater that I wore around the house. It was, at one point, white and accidentally somehow got a hot pink stain across the front of it. I was devastated and everything I tried wouldn't bring it out. So I gave up and just had it for the house...until I washed it with this detergent. I have no idea how it's possible, the stain was almost 2 years old! But it got EVERY bit of it out!!! I'm amazed!! My shirt now looks brand friggin new!! And it smells amazing!! Yeah! ...read more

If you have sensitive skin or find yourself to be itchy after using most laundry detergents, you should definitely give Seventh Generation Free & Clear a try. My mom and I are both sensitive to many ingredients found in popular laundry detergents and usually get a rash after using them. With this, though, we do not have any bad reactions. It gets the job done without irritation. It is a little bit on the pricier side, but it's worth it if it works! ...read more

I used these for the first time this week. I was initially drawn to this product because of how natural it is. It's GMO-free and friendly to the environment. The packaging is simple and smells amazing. I was weary that the pod wouldn't be enough to clean my whole load of laundry as it is quite small. But, it totally did the trick! My clothes were clean and smelled great.  ...read more
