Fake tide laundry detergent1/15/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() The Laundress Delicate Wash (55¢/wash) is pricey, but it gets 4.6 stars on Amazon and has a linen-y scent called "lady." Another one that has "enzymes" but doesn’t specifically say whether it has protease.(The label also says it’s the “wise choice for people against toxins.” You’re never going to find a toxin in any detergent, since toxins are naturally produced poisons such as snake venom.) This does contain "enzymes" but doesn’t specify which ones, so use caution with silk and wool. However, the washing instructions, which tell you to use a capful of detergent for machine washing and “less” for hand washing, are less than helpful. Molly's Suds All Sport Laundry Wash (14¢/wash) smells citrusy-delicious and has 4.5 stars after almost 300 reviews at Amazon.It has an average rating of 2.7 stars people mostly complain about the strong floral scent which was reformulated a few years ago. Ecover Delicate Wash (10¢/wash) is less liked by reviewers.It has lanolin and cleans as well as the others but has a strong tea tree scent that turned me off. Kookaburra Wool Wash (25¢/wash) was the third no-rinse detergent we tested.It’s a tiny bottle, but you use so little that it’s actually not that expensive.

Baby shampoo, specifically Johnson’s Baby Shampoo (7¢/wash) is sometimes used for delicates.Forever New Ovacion (19¢/wash) averages 4.7 stars and kind of smells like fruity baby powder, but not in a bad way.Meyers Clean Day Liquid Laundry Detergent (12¢/wash) is not specifically for delicates and has no directions for hand washing, but it is very cheap and comes in tons of scents. I used the equivalent of 10 mL for testing. There were no directions for hand washing, but the machine-wash dose was around 20 mL. The bottle I got says unscented but had a light, lavender smell. Vaska (10¢ per wash) is not marketed as a delicate detergent specifically, but it came highly recommended by Sean Cormier.This formula has protease, so use caution with pure silk and wool garments.
