Laundry detergent reviews
The best laundry detergents will remove spills like oils, makeup and starches from your clothes. Detergent also amounts to at least half the running cost of your washing machine so it pays to pick the right one.
We’ve tested popular laundry detergents in a lab setting to tell you which ones:
- work best in your machine type
- work well on nine difficult-to-remove stains
- are good value for money
- are best for specific stains.
We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
