It’s fresh, sweet, and not at all overpowering. This Tide option landed on our list of best laundry detergents because of the best-selling Spring Meadow scent.

(You can also easily decant the small pods into any number of canisters, bowls, or boxes.) Laundry pods are undeniably convenient, partly because no measurements (or mess!) are required and partly because the container is lightweight, easy to lift, and clearly marked with directions in multiple places. Product Details: Type: Liquid | Scent: Scented and unscented | Number of Loads: 64 loadsĭuring testing, none of the stains were completely removed in the wash.

If you’re particularly sensitive to scent, this product comes in an unscented formula as well. That said, it was fairly subtle and unnoticeable further than 6 inches away. The one con our tester noted was the scent: There is a slight chemical smell to the detergent and the laundered items. Our tester pointed out that it was also easy to pour, likely due in part to the container’s size and shape. Because it’s concentrated, the container is on the smaller side, saving space and making it lighter and easier to lift than others. Its effectiveness had no impact on the actual feel of the laundry-everything came out feeling light, unwrinkled (except for, understandably, the linen), and without leftover residue. This is a big win since not having to pretreat every single stain saves time and money.

Most of the detergents on our list weren’t able to fully remove any stains on their own, and while this liquid detergent didn’t wipe all of them out, it did manage to completely dissolve chocolate, wine, and foundation from different fabrics. There may be a slight chemical scent when you get really close to the product.
