Product Information

Transparency is at the heart of Mumsnet, and that's why we work hard to provide unbiased, independent advice our readers can trust. Obviously, the best laundry detergent is a very personal choice, so what’s good for you and your family may not be the best for someone else. That said, we recommend Daz as our best overall laundry detergent that is effective even at low temperatures whilst protecting colours and brightening whites. Affordably priced and with great value for money, many families are rediscovering the fantastic cleaning power of this brand. How we chose our recommendations Recommendations from real Mumsnet users We've spoken to Von Sy, founder of plant-based cleaning product brand Nimble and detergent chemist. He has over a decade of experience working for the world's largest detergents manufacturer. He shared his thoughts on three main things parents can keep in mind when choosing a detergent for little ones' clothes: As both an uncle and a father, Von became determined to create a cleaning range that provided truly safe and effective solutions for the home. With Nimble, he has achieved that goal and secured himself a nomination in the ‘Health & Wellbeing Entrepreneur of the Year’ category for the London & East of England region. Due to the current pandemic, the regional awards ceremony will take place online on the 23rd of September. The regional winners will go onto a national final, held in London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, in November, which coincides with the end of the 2020 Global Entrepreneurship Week.

Becoming an uncle and soon after, a father, made me determined that an effective, yet safe cleaning brand was what the market was missing. I had the knowledge and an entrepreneurial drive to innovate, Nimble was the result! Life as an entrepreneur is very challenging, and there can be a lot of ‘downs’ before you see the ‘ups’. Being shortlisted for this award is certainly a huge ‘up’ and I’m thrilled to be recognised.“ Von Sy, Founder of Nimble, speaking about his nomination. Type of detergent - You’ll need to choose between liquid and powder detergents, which both have pros and cons. Liquid detergents (particularly liquid capsules) are thought to be bad for the long-term health of your washing machine. Still, powders don’t dissolve so well and occasionally leave streaks on clothing. On the other hand, liquids are better for coloured and dark washes and powders for a brighter white. Alternatives - There are other options, such as soap nuts, which aren’t detergents but will still clean your clothes.

Ultimately, this left us with the best laundry detergents available today as recommended by parents, trusted by experts and rated by previous customers. Why you should trust us Ease of Storage - How will you store your laundry detergent? Being able to buy in bulk will make laundry detergent much cheaper, but if you don’t have somewhere to keep it, this can become a huge pain. You could try one of the letterbox subscription services, such as Smol; however, if you are out all day, this can be a nuisance, too. Nimble babies was founded in 2015 by chemist Von Sy to create a product that helps to clean babies milk bottles. Nimble babies products can now be found online and in more than 900 stores across the UK. Nimble sells Laundry products that claim to be baby safe as well as bottle cleaning, surface cleaning and hand sanitiser spray.

Washing your super-soft cashmere jumper or brand-new silk blouse can be a risky business. They often come with lengthy tags and lists of dos and don’ts to keep them looking new. However, one wrong move and you’ll open up your washing machine to fuzzy fabrics and shrunken sizes. Okay, so some of it might be salvageable with a debobbler and a little stretching, but finding a way to prevent damage and protect your clothing is a must. That’s why we’re recommending Woolite Delicates laundry detergent. Hard or soft water - It's helpful to look into the kind of water you have in your area, as those in particularly hard water areas (hello, Milton Keynes and Bath) may need to choose their detergent more carefully. You can find more information on this here. Nimble receives a high score as all of its products are Vegan Society certified and Cruelty-free. It also receives a high rating for all of our Animal and People categories with no Public Record criticisms.Non-bio washing detergent does not contain this enzyme, meaning it's gentler on your clothes and kinder to your skin. Because of this, it's not quite as powerful at getting dirt out of clothes, but it will generally be more forgiving. If you want a really neutral detergent, natural, non-bio detergent is your best bet. Which laundry detergents are eco-friendly?

Fabric Type - It's also common to use a different kind of product for various clothing items – as your gym wear or the kids' school uniforms may need that little extra cleaning oomph.

What is the difference between bio and non-bio?

There are many laundry detergents, so how do you know which is right for you? Here are some things to consider when making your choice: How much laundry detergent you use depends on how soiled the clothes are, how big your drum is and how hard your water is, but a basic rule of thumb is as follows: Try a patch test first: Before you do a whole load of washing with a new detergent, try washing one item, such as a baby sleepsuit or blanket, with the new product first. This way, you'll know straight away whether it has a negative effect on your baby's skin – and be able to pinpoint it to that one item. It's then easy to switch detergents if your baby does have a reaction. You can always add a little more if you think the wash needs it, but remember that most of us are using too much detergent regularly, and water does a pretty good job on its own, so you don’t need it to overdo the detergent.

Founder of Nimble and chemist Von Sy, commented: “We are delighted to see demand for our products growing, and to be able to make them available to more parents. To see Nimble products available in 506 Tesco stores is such a huge step of success for the brand. I created the product range to keep my own children safe around the home, so seeing it easily available to so many households across the country is really a proud moment for me.” The Great British Entrepreneur Awards have recognised and celebrated enterprising minds across the UK since 2013, with household names such as JustEat and LADbible receiving awards in recent years. Von is a finalist in the regional awards and, if successful, he will progress to the national final in November.Since their launch, in 2016, the brand has sold over 170,000 units, in the UK and overseas. A successful appearance on the infamous BBC’s Dragons’ Den, earlier this year, was another great achievement for the dedicated entrepreneur.
