  • To start, my absolute favorite aspects about Dirty Lab cleaners are that they are nontoxic and biodegradable, but also that all packaging is recyclable and the company is devoted to sustainability. I've reduced waste in my house significantly because of the size of the refill bottles and the recyclable materials (i.e. aluminum and cardboard), as well as the soap concentration. One load of laundry takes only a few mL of soap AND the soap is cold water optimized, which reduces energy usage from hot water. On top of that, the scents are incredible but light (jasmine, magnolia/bergamot, and yuzu) and I feel like my clothes and dishes are truly getting cleaned. Dirty Labs uses a bioenzyme technology that does a fantastic job of cleaning and removing stains. I'm very glad I made the switch to Dirty Labs for my own health and wellness, my clothes, and my environmental impact.

  • Can't entirely discern the difference from an overall clean laundry perspective. That being said I guess it is good that it is nontoxic.

  • smells really good! loved the powder super booster and it's great the liquid detergent came with a dispenser bottle

  • Absolutely the best laundry detergent I’ve used. Scents are amazing and no issues for sensitive skin.

  • I think the detergent cleaned my clothes really well! It’s a powerful concentrated formula, for sure. However I didn’t love the scent– a bit too floral for me. Cedar and bergamot alone without the magnolia would’ve been perfect!

  • Started using this when my partner suggested. Seems to be a nice lil boost to our laundry. Love the packaging! Wish it didn't come with a spoon every time bc it feels a little wasteful, but it's not plastic, so I guess that helps.

  • Cleans well, smells nice but subtle, no large plastic container, no harmful ingredients.

  • I got the laundry starter kit and the detergent makes my clothes smell phenomenal and feel so much better. I also got the kit in March and haven’t even made a dent in my stash of detergent.

  • Dirty Labs has totally upped my laundry game - their detergents smell absolutely incredible. Seriously, once you try them, everything else just feels meh in comparison. What's really cool is how little you need to use - a tiny amount goes such a long way, so a bottle lasts forever. Pro tip: snag their free pump dispenser from their website. It's a game-changer for getting the perfect amount every time.

  • I absolutely love the Dirty labs free detergent and the booster. I use the free on my LO things and the booster for my husband's work clothes. I was skeptical but it proved to work after the first wash I used them. I get it off Grove and never run out!

  • I’ve been loving dirty labs! It doesn’t leave marks on my clothes like some other natural cleaners I’ve tried and I love the clean, natural ingredients.

  • We've been looking to move away from detergent pods after several incidents of the pods leaving a colorful mess on garments because they don't dissolve completely in a wash cycle. We also were conscious of how pods can impact water supplies, and also wanted to support innovation in detergents that are gentler on our skin and significantly better for the environment. I'm happy to say that after trying this at a friend's home and buying our own shipments, we are a repeat customer for not only the detergent, but also the booster and dishwasher powder. The customer service is also extremely responsive, kind, and helpful. Really hoping they get to scale into being offered in even more places like Costco!

  • I love the laundry detergents. Our clothes are clean and smell fresh. I’ve tried other eco friendly brands and they didn’t help with my husbands smelly uniforms. The laundry booster is also great. I’ve just started using the dishwasher soap and it seems to be great. My latest order seems to have been delayed but that happens often in my area. If I could change anything, I would love to be able to refill my products here so that I could reuse the packaging. If you decide to do this, please make it work on all the islands in Hawaii.

  • I buy a lot of vintage for my business and I always wash them before I put them in the shop. I have tried all kinds of detergent before but Dirty Labs are simply the best. The stains come out really easily and scent is amazing too

  • I have found this brand to be excellent. The aluminum packaging is easy to recycle and the product smells great.

  • This detergent works well in my old GE front load washer, and is easy to dispense and use. I originally bought a set of Fragrance Free and Magnolia/Bergamot/Cedar scent to test them out. I very much like the Fragrance Free, but the Magnolia/Bergamot/Cedar was far too strong a scent for me. Even when diluted with Fragrance Free, as Dirty Labs suggests, I still can't stand the smell. Your mileage may differ on the scents, but I am pleased with how well the detergent works.

  • Great great product line. I’ve only tried the laundry products, I’ve been really impressed with all of them. Highly recommend.

  • I love the signature scent detergent and dryer balls with signature drops. The price is higher than other clean brands, but it works better. The Booster is great, but I wish it were incorporated into the detergent.
