at first when I got this product delivered and smelt it straight from the bottle I gagged. It smelled like a man’s cologne and was so strong. I am a girl and I like to smell like a girl I wanted something that smelled more like linen or floral. I decided to give my stinky workout clothes And towels a good wash in this just to see, and I am obsessed. The overly strong man cologne smell, turned into a subtle amber and musk scent. I just washed some towels and clothes yesterday so I’m not sure about the longevity. Also, my daughter works in a restaurant so she needed something that took away the restaurant smell and this did the trick my towels and my workout clothes are soft and super clean. And yes, this is a little bit expensive but I only put a tiny bit in my HE washing machine so I’m expecting it to last quite a while. I just ordered the classic laundry detergent so I will see how that goes. Read more
The Laundress Signature Isle Detergent has completely upgraded my laundry routine. The first thing you notice is the beautiful, fresh scent — clean, light, and just the right amount of fragrance to make clothes smell amazing without being overpowering. Even days after washing, the scent lingers softly. It cleans exceptionally well, leaving fabrics feeling fresh and soft without any residue. I’ve used it on everything from everyday clothing to delicate items, and it’s been gentle yet effective on all fabrics. A little goes a long way, so even though it’s a premium detergent, it lasts longer than you’d expect. I also appreciate that it’s plant-derived and free from harsh chemicals, making it a safer choice for both my family and the environment. It feels like a small luxury that makes a big difference in something I do every week. If you want your laundry to smell and feel like it’s fresh from a boutique hotel, this detergent is worth every drop. Read more
Great product. I love the clean smell and whitening effect is visible. Caution: do not overdue, a little bit goes a very long way! Read more
People are not kidding when they say this detergent smells good. It does. The smell reminds me of expensive hotel towels. As to its ability to clean, I am leaning toward the idea that it has a very good ability to clean items that have always been treated well; on pieces of clothing that have layers of dirt, or that need clarified, I think it struggles. For example, on older shirts that my kid wears and sweats on, the smell remained after washing. On new shirts she has, the smell hasn't been able to build up. Right now, I am experimenting with Laundress' Stain Remover and this product. Together they work pretty well; however, the wonderful smell isn't as present. I think I will be using Defunkify on a good deal of our wardrobes and then trying only Laundress for a few months to see how it goes. I will update. For now, this detergent is not completely earning the price it costs. Not yet. Please check out the Stain Remover, though. Such good stuff!!!! Read more
This is truly a strange product. Its main advertising feature is that it rids your sweaty athletic clothing of body odor. Well, I agree -- it does seem to do that. But it is NOT a flowery fragrant soap-like detergent. The ingredients include bergamot oil which is oil of a bitter orange. (Think Earl Grey tea -- its special ingredient is also bergamot orange). Anyhow, you only need a few drops of this product. It doesn't foam up, and your hands will become so oily that you will need paper towels to wipe your hands after washing your clothes in the sink. I haven't used the product in the washing machine, and I don't intend to because of its oiliness. The fragrance is slightly orangey, which is pleasant -- but by the time you rinse the oil out of your fabric (perhaps four rinses) the orange scent is gone. In defense of this product: It has not harmed my clothing. The oil has not changed the color of the garments. The body odor is gone, but not replaced by any noticeable pleasant fragrance. In other words, it does what it said it would. Read more
It's so great to have Laundress laundry determent back! I love the "fresh sheets" signature smell of the original. This is the best laundry detergent I have ever used, and it even makes wash day a bit less of a pain. Expensive, I guess, but to me it's worth it. Cleans my clothes very well and made by a small company committed to quality. I only wish they still had their wonderful bleach, which I also loved. Read more
I love everything about Laundress, and this scent is the best. It not only cleans your laundry but also smells amazing. It's nice to have a clear detergent. As silly as it sounds, when I use this detergent, I feel like I'm preserving the quality of my clothes. Read more
