We all use laundry detergent, so it’s only natural to want to do your research. These days, we want to make sure we know what’s in the products we’re putting in and on their bodies. With plastics always growing more prevalent in our health and beauty products, it’s super important to be reading the labels! Plus, you may be concerned about the use of plastics because it may have a negative environmental impact – buying from companies that use recycled and recyclable containers can help ease your green conscience.

Beyond that, what actually makes a good detergent? And which is the best laundry detergent? Let’s talk about a few big-name options to help you save money while you live better. Tide, Gain, All, Arm & Hammer, Purex, and Oxi Clean are the biggest names in laundry products right now.

Tide takes the cake for the most earnings from laundry detergent. Tide offers high efficiency (HE) liquid and powder detergent, as well as the popular detergent pacs called Tide Pods. They even have gentle wash Tide Pods, and Pods with Febreze! Plus, Tide just launched a new bio-based laundry detergent called Purclean that has all the power of Tide washing soda while being more sustainable.

Gain offers many classic cleaning options as well as funky detergent scents to tickle your nose – like Apple Mango Tango! Like Tide, Gain has a version of the laundry pac called Gain Flings with Oxi Boost that are convenient for busy families – just toss one in, turn your washing machine on, and go! They’ve also begun to offer products that use Febreze freshness to keep odors out longer. And, for a really quick boost, you can get Febreze products with Gain to make your clothes fresh on the go. They even have scent boosters in a variety of fresh tropical and floral fragrances for keeping your laundry smelling great longer!

All and Arm & Hammer have also released their own iterations of the laundry pac for quick-release, mess-free detergent. All’s Mighty Pac is safe for all washing machines, and the Powercore Pac mixes liquid and powder detergent for an extra-deep clean! Arm & Hammer has its own Power Pak with OxiClean for adding cleaning power. Purex, get on the laundry pac bandwagon! The future of laundry detergent is tiny, self-contained, and easy to use.
