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

4.7
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.

Love this detergent! Clean and smells good
The look and feel of Dirty Labs is amazing. I love that the products are more eco-friendly than traditional laundry detergents and dishwasher detergents (by using less water and plastic.) The laundry detergent is just okay - we used it for a “quick wash” and the clothes came out smelling a bit odd. It works on a full wash cycle, but just not on a short cycle. The dishwasher detergent works great!

The items arrived well-packaged—minimal but secure. The candle smells amazing, and I can’t wait to use it during the cooler months! The dish soap works great. I chose the unscented version and use it as directed to clean my dog’s food and water bowls.

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.

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.
