Reviews mention

  • Powerful bioenzyme cleaning performance
  • Refined, light signature fragrances
  • Ultra-concentrated, cold-water formula
  • Recyclable aluminum, compact packaging
  • Inconsistent scent longevity on laundry
  • Messy, sticky cap and beaker
  • Mixed results on heavy soiling
  • Some scents irritate sensitive skin

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 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I think this is the best performing clean detergents I’ve used. The scents are lovely and not overly strong or offensive, but I prefer the non-scented versions. I love that they use enzyme tech to clean the clothes. Laundry Detergent Lovely. My clothes come out clean and no smell. Using significantly less amount of product will take some getting used to. I also have the delicate version for my cashmeres and wool clothings. Laundry Booster I feel like you have to pair the detergent with the booster to get an extra clean wash. Clothes do come out clean, however, this does not remove the yellow sweat stain that it claims to do. The last few units I received, the powder is so finely milled that it has a cloud of dust every time I open the container and any inhalation burns my nostril and throat. Dishwasher Detergent This works well! Dishes come out clean and sparkly. I hate to discard the spoon and silver trays every time I reorder the laundry booster and dishwasher detergent. Please find a good refill option. And idk what’s going on with the super fine milled booster… that feels like a health hazard.

  • This product works on dirty laundry and leaves it with a very clean scent. I like the packaging, very clean looking. The only part of the packaging I don't like is the measuring cap. I don't like that it is a plastic like material.

  • I tried the fragrance free laundry detergent - Wow I love it. I really appreciate the concentrated formula, ever since I've learned a lot of common laundry detergents encourage people to use more detergent than they need I've been conscious about this sort of wastefulness... Really appreciate a brand that shows you up front how little you need (of course it's also a concentrated formula so it makes it even less than a generic brand but still). I know some reviews mention it's quite sticky to deal with but that did not bother me personally :)
