Dirty Labs Reviews

Best of Thingtesting4.7

Dirty Labs earns strong reviews for effective, enzyme-powered cleaning that tackles odors and many stains while remaining nontoxic, hypoallergenic, and packaged in recyclable aluminum. Reviewers praise refined scents like Magnolia/Bergamot/Cedar, Murasaki, and Jasmine/Matcha/Vetiver and the ultra‑concentrated, cold‑water formula, but cite drawbacks: occasional weak scent longevity, messy sticky caps, easily lost silicone beakers, and mixed performance on heavily soiled or dingy whites.

    I love their products, my only complaint is it is pretty pricey. That said, it feels good knowing Im using something that is not full of toxins and is sustainable. The scents are really impressive for a natural brand! And the packaging is very chic

    Chic and Effective Dish Soap There’s something no one tells you when you switch to “clean” dish soap: suddenly you’re using half the bottle just to get through a single sink of dishes. Healthier, yes. Effective? Rarely. Dirty Labs is the first brand that’s broken that curse. The moment I pumped their Bio Enzyme Dish Soap it felt different. The texture is -light, and the scent, a blend of yuzu, geranium, and lemon balm, is nothing short of spa-level. (An aside: I am obsessed with anything yuzu.) Most importantly: a tiny drop actually works. One pump cuts through grease the way the old toxic formulas used to minus the endocrine disruptors and the eye-watering synthetic fragrance. The secret is Dirty Labs’ proprietary Phytolase® enzyme technology, which cleans intelligently and efficiently without the usual scrubbing marathon, even in cold water. This is dishwashing elevated: biobased, biodegradable, nontoxic, and genuinely high-performance. A rare moment when the “cleaner” choice is also the better one. Dirty Labs didn’t just reinvent dish soap. They reinvented the entire expectation.

    I like the sustainable aspect of this brand. It doesn’t clean my clothes better than what I previously used, but I like how the packaging is recyclable, and if you get the bundles, it comes with a dispenser.

    I ordered the starter set that included detergent, enzyme booster, a glass dispenser pump, and dryer balls ($40 + tax, free shipping). It's definitely a great deal compared to how much these items would cost individually from the website. Of course, on it's own $28 for 80 loads worth of laundry detergent is a high price (slightly less in the autoship bundle), comparable to Tide Free & Gentle which is roughly $16 for 80 loads (which I would likely stretch to way more). Regardless of the price I do think it's VERY CONVENIENT to 1)buy all laundry products together from the same place and 2)have confidence these products are sustainable/effective/ethical/not bad for my skin. That being said, I don't really notice the scent from the detergent on my clothes which is a little disappointing, so maybe will add some of their essential oil droplets next time. I do think it's worth the cost to feel clean/smell nice! I also don't really like the flask, you have to pump it so many times to get the full amount of detergent needed for a large load and I would rather just pour from the container. I'll probably continue to use Dirty Labs for the time being, it definitely adds a little luxury to doing laundry which I didn't know I needed but I enjoy it! And everything fits neatly into my little Ikea laundry gear basket which is great :)

What is Dirty Labs?

Dirty Labs makes efficient, nontoxic, and biodegradable laundry detergents.

In their own words

Dirty Labs is a cleaning innovations lab on a mission to make petrochemical-based cleaners obsolete. We founded Dirty Labs to create the change we want to see in the cleaning industry — a sustainable, biobased approach to cleaning that’s rooted in science and aligned with nature. Too many cleaners today still rely on petrochemicals and harsh synthetics that pollute the environment and our drinking water. About 40 billion loads of laundry are done in the United States each year. Most of those loads include hazardous chemicals, including EPA classified carcinogens, that enter into our water supply. By utilizing breakthroughs in green chemistry, our team of chemists and environmentalists are out to prove that sustainable, biobased cleaners can actually work. Our promise is to deliver on par or better cleaning efficacy than conventional cleaners without the use of any sulfates, ethoxylates, parabens, fillers, California Prop 65 chemicals of concern, and EU listed fragrance allergens.
