Reviews

Absolute best!

"Since switching to “the laundress” I get compliments everywhere I go! My clothes smell and look amazing!! Best products ever!! The beauty sleep is amazing for bedding and I use it on towels and it just creates a tranquil escape when you use it. All products are 10/10! Thank you"

Missing the Unscented

"I love The Laundress products, but am so disappointed that you appear to have discontinued the unscented Baby Detergent. Despite it's silly name, I really appreciated having an unscented option. I don't enjoy heavily scented products that clash with my parfum. I know you're trying to market this as a replacement for eau de cologne, but it isn't and I don't want it to be. Please bring back the unscented."

L.C. L. (5/5)

fantastic product

"I really love the subtle scent, and not only does it clean well,, but it makes a great spot treatment as well. Love that a little goes a long way. . . great product. Debbie Hyde"

Debbie H. (5/5)

Scentsational

"I love the Signature Detergent and so do my AirBnb guests that frequently remark on the bedding feel and fresh fragrance. The gallon spout makes it easy to measure. ❤️"

Connie T. (5/5)

Cleans Well

"I love the scent of the Beauty Sleep and find that it lasts. I’m not really a fan of the classic scent. It cleans well but the scent is not my favorite."

Rosemari F. (4/5)

Worth the money!

"I know some may think they are pricey, but it does not take much and they smell so good! And the scent lasts! I usually take advantage of their sales and stock up then. Once you buy one to try, you will be hooked! I started out using the Whites on my sheets, I then went to Signature for towels and clothes, and I now use them all:)"

Amy T. (5/5)

I have used this detergent

"I have used this detergent for years. It does not irritate my family's skin, and has an enjoyable fragrance but not perfumed. It is also safe for septics. Not much is required for washing."

Jennifer S. (5/5)

Great in small loads

"This is your standard detergent. . Due to the volume of laundry I do (animal rescues) + family it’s not cost effective for me…. It’s a fine choice but not mine. . ,"

Sherre N. (4/5)

Great product

"Absolutely great product, I followed the instructions and the excessive mold build up on both inside and outside shower curtains completely disappeared"

Anthony W. (5/5)

Throw away the Tide folks.

"A wonderful product to wash any laundry. The result was soft and fluffy."

Q&A

Did you discontinue the “ baby” scent? My favorite!!
Thank you for your question - we miss our previous Baby fragrance, too! While we unfortunately can't share an exact restock date at this time, we do recommend staying tuned for updates. We're working hard to expand our fabric care collection, so don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social @thelaundress to stay updated on our new launches! In the meantime, for a fragranced everyday laundry experience, we recommend trying our Signature Detergent Classic.
I would live to purchase more laundry detergent in Santal 33 scent.. will it be available again ?
Our priority for the relaunch has been to ensure the highest quality and safety of our core offering—a curated selection of our bestselling fabric care solutions that elevate your everyday laundry routine. The Laundress x Le Labo products are not part of our relaunch offering. That said, exciting collaborations have always been an important way for us to delight people who are looking for an elevated fabric care experience, so you can expect to see more in the future! Please reach out with any additional questions.
Hi - How many pumps (using the pump provided with the gallon size) for 1 HE load please? I used to use the measuring cup but found it to be more messy than it's worth. Would love to just know how many pumps = 1 oz? Thank you!
Hi there, thank you for your question. While 1 full pump from the gallon yields around 1 oz of product, we would recommend using our Laundry Measuring Cup to ensure the correct amount is dispensed!
The original Signature Detergent recommended using half the amount for HE machines (2 capfuls) vs Non-HE machines (4capfuls). Why has this changed?
Thank you for reaching out. Because our formulas have been modified, dosage has slightly changed with some products being double concentrated. Additionally, for an enhanced dosing experience, you’ll notice that we’ve updated our dosage instructions from capfuls to ounces/milliliters. We recommend measuring out the formulas in a washable silicone measuring cup like the Laundress Laundry Measuring Cup or kitchen measuring cup according to load size, then following the instructions on the detergent label for your machine type. For more information, please visit the product’s description page.
hello is the The Laundress All-Purpose Cleaning Concentrate No247 not available anymore?
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We miss it too! While we don't have an exact restock date for that item at this time, we truly appreciate your feedback. We're working hard to expand our laundry collection, so don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social @thelaundress to be the first to know about new launches!
