Free & Clear Bio Enzyme Dishwasher Detergent

I’ve been using Dirty Labs for a while now, and it’s honestly one of those products I didn’t realize I’d care this much about until I tried it. The first thing I noticed—and appreciated immediately—was the lack of artificial perfume smell. So many detergents and dish soaps try to mask “clean” with overwhelming fragrance, and Dirty Labs does the opposite. Everything just smells neutral and actually clean, which I especially love for clothes, towels, and baby items. Performance-wise, it genuinely delivers. My laundry comes out fresh and soft, even with tougher loads, and I’ve been impressed with how well it handles everyday stains without needing extra products. The dish detergent is just as solid—cuts through grease easily, rinses clean, and doesn’t leave that weird residue some eco brands do. What really seals it for me, though, is the convenience. The packaging is thoughtful, easy to use, and mess-free. The dosing is straightforward, the products last a long time, and it feels like they’ve actually designed everything for real life—not just aesthetics. I also like knowing I’m using something that’s more environmentally responsible without sacrificing effectiveness. Overall, Dirty Labs strikes a rare balance: minimal scent, excellent cleaning power, and a genuinely convenient experience. It’s one of the few household brands I’ve fully switched to and don’t see myself going back from.

The products are devastatingly good - I say devastating because they’re generally pretty pricey. I do feel like they have innovative formulations, so I do like to purchase when there’s a sale and justify it by saying I’m paying to support innovation. The one product that particularly made me sad was the Liquid Dish Soap. I purchased to try this one out with low hopes, and was sadly proven very wrong. The dish soap is so good. Not a dealbreaker but just a note - when your laundry is fully dry, the scent will fade. This actually doesn’t bother me at all since I like my clothes smelling neutral, but just a note for those who are expecting a fragrant pile of dry laundry. I’m only docking one star purely because of the price point. Based on the marketing, I don’t think that it’s meant to be seen as a luxury brand, so the price point doesn’t seem fully justified. I understand it’s a small company, so they’re probably pricing their products this way to recoup their research costs, but I hope we can see some price decreases as they expand.
