Dirty Labs reviews and discussion

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this. My son gets itchy from laundry detergent, but also plays hockey. He wanted fresher smelling clothes after I washed them....enter Dirty Labs Laundry Starter Kit. The pump is not the easiest to use, but I really like the refillable aspect of it. You barely need any detergent, and i throw the silicone cup right in the washing machine. His clothes smell fresh and clean, and he isn't itchy anymore! The kit came with 2 samples of dishwasher detergent, which also worked wonderfully!

We run, hike, and ski, and are always in need of good laundry detergent for our athletic wear but also want to avoid harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and ourselves. The previous eco detergent we used wasn't very satisfactory - clothes would come out of the wash smelling slightly sweaty and musty. So I was interested in trying Dirty Labs, and am happy to say all our clothes now are so much cleaner and smell so much fresher! It really makes a huge difference. I really like the booster for extra dirty loads and the hand wash/delicates product for wools (previously I had been using shampoo). I also like the recyclable packaging. Price feels slightly expensive but each product seems to last a while. The Murasaki scent is lovely, but maybe slightly strong - next time I might try the unscented version, but feel sure there will be a next time.

I have been a huge fan of this brand for a while. It completely removed my husband's nasty pit stains which were quite embarrassing. A little scrub and a good wash and it was as good as new! I now use a scoop in every load!

I love this dishwasher detergent! The scent is nice but not overpowering. I also like not having to deal with a pod and the off chance that it doesn't open when running the dishwasher. I keep coming back to this product.

As an environmentalist, I love the mindset of this brand. The aluminum packaging is great, the detergent is very effective even on activewear and funky smelling clothes. My only issue is that it’s a bit expensive for what it is and the measuring cup gets sticky and isn’t very precise unless you rinse it out after each use. I love the packaging for the powdered bleach alternative and refill it often. I do liquify it a bit in hot water before adding it to my front load wash so that it dissolves more readily. It’s pretty standard for the kind of whitener that it is so it’s pricey for what you get. I would probably subscribe to the laundry detergent if it were more comparable to what I can get in the grocery store but it was good to try out.

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.

Love the subtle scent and the impressive cleaning power. To avoid the problem of drips of detergent running down the outside of the bottle, be sure to pour slowly and then rotate the bottle as the detergent nears the fill line.

Love this pump. We had been pouring from the bottle into the silicone cup for years and then just bought the pump bottle and wish we had done it sooner. No more sticky detergent bottle or detergent on the shelf in the cabinet.

This measuring cup is super easy to use. Just pour the detergent to the clearly marked line and put it in the washing machine. You can run your load with a cup and not worry about it damaging your machine or your clothes.

Purchased the jasmine detergent gift set for my mom for Christmas and she loves using it for more delicate loads of laundry. Love that the gift pack came with dryer balls too, love using them over dryer sheets.

As part of my efforts to be more environmentally friendly, I am making an effort to switch up my household cleaning products to brands that are non toxic. This of course includes my laundry detergent. Before this I had been using laundry pods as they are super convenient to use, but I had heard mixed things about the lining of the pods and the micro plastics it releases. So I am back to liquid detergent. Before Dirty Labs there was another brand I had been using that could be found a refill shops. But let’s just say that I didn’t really feel like this detergent was doing its job. Even by increasing the amount of detergent it did not get the same fresh feeling that I would get from the traditional big brand kind. I then decide to try Dirty Labs. I got the green bottle which has the scent of magnolia, bergamot, and cedar. The bottle came with a small silicone loading cup, which I love as it is easy to wash and can be used forever. The bottle itself is made of aluminum which means it is recyclable. So far I have only used the smallest amount recommended but I could immediately tell there was a huge difference! My laundry smelled so nice and the scent doesn’t immediately disappear either. I air dry my clothes currently and with this detergent they are left feeling super soft. I really wish this brand was in refill stores near me. The bottle is recyclable, but I would prefer to be able to refill it in person. Besides that I have no complaints! It is definitely on the higher end of detergent but that’s par for the course with non toxic brands. Eventually I do want to try out other things they’ve made, as it’s clear they make good quality products.

Obsessed! The fragrance used for these laundry detergents are phenomenal. The fact that you don’t have to use much plus the eco friendly packaging makes it worth the price. I recently started using the dishwashing powder also and WOW, love it! The smell is glorious and it works well too! I can’t wait to go on this journey with Dirty Labs.

I have used the silk and wool wash for delicates. The detergent works well and doesn’t not have a scent. However, I find the bottle design is very messy. I do like that the metal bottle is infinitely recyclable.

Have been using their dishwasher detergent. One of the final items in my house I've switched to non-toxic and THIS WORKS. Big fan - have purchased 4x now.

My FAVORITE detergent. Yes it’s great for the environment, but it actually outperforms on stain removal in the wash vs all the “recommended” brands you can buy. I was shocked. Smells great, works beyond great, and is safe for the planet-it’s a no brainer for me.

Great clean alternative for the person who doesn’t want their laundry to smell like essential oils. Their signature scent smells amazing!! I love this stuff. The Oxygen boost is great for scrubs, towels, gym clothes to keep them smelling fresh!

I recently had the opportunity to pick up a Dirty Labs Product from Whole Foods at a discounted price in exchange for my honest thoughts and feedback. Upon trying this product, I was a little taken back by the size of the cap which is basically used to measure the amount of detergent per load. The detergent is concentrated and it does state that on the instructions. After washing a load of laundry and hanging them to dry, as I always do, I was quite impressed with the results and more so that a tiny cap of detergent worked pretty well. I have to say that the Dirty Labs detergent works well and I will be purchasing again in the future. I recommend the Dirty Labs Laundry Detergent to all of my friends and family.

Tried the 2-in-1 Bio Enzyme Dishwasher Detergent + Booster in the Free & Clear (Fragrance Free) as well as Aestival (Yuzu, Geranium, Lemon Balm)! Both do a fantastic job but I have leaned more towards the fragrance free, I feel like it works better than the scented one. They both do a fantastic job on my dishes nonetheless and I’m nearly finished with job containers (I switch back and forth). I’ve started noticing that residue is still left behind (I do use the recommended scoop size for load size) and occasionally I have noticed a dish not get all the way clean but each product still does the job and doesn’t leave my glasses tasting weird (which is a big plus)!

I love the fact that one little cap of this stuff cleans a whole load of laundry. I just wish the amazing scent was just a little bit stronger. I’m probably in the minority, but I like opening the dryer and smelling like essential oils. Otherwise, this stuff packs a punch! I bought one in each scent, and I love them both!

Best smelling detergent! I use such a small amount and it cleans my full load. Even clothes dirtied by my Labrador Retriever!
