The Best Whites!
"Towels and clothes have never been whiter and smell wonderful!"
The Secret to keeping Whites looking brand new
"I have been using The Whites detergent for nearly 30 years, and it remains my absolute, non-negotiable go-to. It keeps all of my white linens, towels, and clothing looking brand new and brilliantly bright without harshness. The cleaning power is excellent, and the classic scent is unmatched. If you want your whites to stay white, look no further."
Truly luxurious

"This is the BEST white detergent on the market"
arrived with broken caps
"Order arrived with ALL the caps broken. what a pain."
Love it!
"I love it!!! My cloths feel softer and brighter with the detergent. My husband even noticed with his work clothes saying it’s softer and likes the scent. I’ve been washing my white sheets with it as well and looks brighter than before. I would highly recommend this product!!!"
Not worth it
"If I’m gonna pay this much for laundry detergent, I want to live it… I tried the dark wash, the white wash, the original & the softener. Don’t love any of them. Don’t like the fragrance & the cleaning ability is average"
Q&A
- I'm really happy with the products, they really work and are my favorites! A question: are The Laundress products on REVOLVE.COM authentic? I’d like to confirm if REVOLVE Is an authorized retailer, because I have a discount giftcard of them and would love to use it to purchase The Laundress.
- Hi Adrian! Confirming that REVOLVE is an authorized retailer. You can purchase The Laundress products there with total confidence!
- Hi!!! I’m very happy with your products, Is White Detergent suitable to wash beige, off white, raw color fabrics?
- Thank you for reaching out! The Whites Detergent does not contain chlorine or oxygen bleaching agents. Therefore, this all-purpose formula deep cleans both white and light-colored fabrics, targeting stubborn stains, dirt, and grease.
- Can this be used on white silk?
- Hello! We would recommend our Delicate Wash for all of your silk items!
- Why did you start adding Sodium Lauryl Sulfates to your white Detergent? Don't you know that a lot of people are allergic to it? (for me, in liquid detergent, it causes alot of itching...or when it's in tooth paste it causes Canker sores. The last bottle that I bought of it( 30 Oz.) did not list that as an ingredient on the bottle. It's a foaming agent and is used in a lot of things which makes it difficult to find something without it. Now I see that it's added to the new re-formulated Whites Detergent. Do you still have any bottles around without it?
- Hi there thank you for your question! Our mission is to deliver truly exceptional fabric care to everyone, so we really value your feedback, especially as we work to bring back more of our products. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant that can have a variety of uses, but in cleaning products, it is often used to break water tension and attract dirt and grime away from the material it is intended to clean. We use SLS that is derived from coconut or palm kernel oil from renewable carbon plant-derived materials. While Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is currently in our Whites Detergent to help improve the cleansing of everyday fabrics, our Wool & Cashmere Shampoo and Delicate Wash are free of the ingredient. As each and every one of us is different, please work directly with your medical provider to know if our products are right for you. Please note that The Laundress rigorously tests all of its products for safety, including those that contain SLS. We invite you to visit our Ingredient Glossary on our website to explore the ingredients in our current collection and to sign up for our emails to stay updated on product education and new product launches.
