The Best Of The Best: Laundry Detergents

Detergent is detergent, right?

We thought they were all the same until our staff started doing some research on the big and small brands with cult followings.

We know there are a lot of other important things to be worrying about right now rather than laundry detergents and comparing and contrasting detergents may seem mundane, so we decided to do some research for you.

Based on research and reviews, we wanted to look at these top favorites to figure out which was the best: MyGreenFills, Seventh Generation, and Tide.

Here are our findings:

MyGreenFills

This small green company offers something different: refills. They're an online retailer, so you get your first jugs of laundry wash delivered to your door. Then sign up for refills, so you're not producing more plastic bottles, plus it saves you a trip to the grocery store. We loved the idea, and the fact that they also boast potent formulas - their scented and unscented options, toxin-free laundry detergent (they call it "wash") only costs $0.14 per load compared to around $0.30 for big-name detergents. Affordable, green, and high efficiency - we love it!

Tide

Everyone knows the classic orange jug and has used it at some point, but when we started digging into the actual product, we were overwhelmed. There are so many different versions! With high-efficiency versions, greener versions, gentler versions, etc., we doubted the original was the best. Similar to the green Gain jug, there were too many options for us to give the brand a fair assessment. This is the most basic detergent.

One of our staffers is also freaked out by the blue - why is it so, so blue? The artificial dye isn't necessary at all. We did some research and found out that companies use a blue dye to trick consumers into thinking their whites & colors are brighter....sadly they're not.

Seventh Generation

One of the most well-known green cleaning companies, Seventh Generation has a line of laundry detergents that are free of dyes and synthetic fragrances. They have regular versions in scents like citrus and lavender, and highly concentrated versions that boast 66 loads per 23 oz. bottle. The bottle is also made from recycled plastic!

If you want a scent, they offer a scented formula that is not overpowering, yet perfectly pronounced by plant and essential oils.

Overall Verdict

Out of all the laundry detergent, we're loving the MyGreenFills Laundry Wash. It's high-quality and concentrated with no toxins, and is a lot more affordable than most other green options. Honestly, we didn't miss that "laundry smell" we'd grown up with - the unscented wash just made everything smell fresh and clean, and if we wanted more, the essential oil blends are absolutely lovely (those of us who prefer scented wash were pleased that it smelled so lovely without being overpowering).

Even though they don't have the name recognition of Tide or even Seventh Generation, we found that we actually preferred a smaller company - their customer reviews are excellent and with such a wide range of products, we're excited to try everything.

Their refill program is so convenient to get delivered right to your doorstep. Plus, their detergent really cleans, unlike a lot of other "green cleaners" in the space. This green company has something for everything: they offer hand soap, all-purpose cleaners, wood cleaners, essential oils, wool dryer balls, laundry wash and SO much more, all without parabens, toxins, or fragrances. Cleaning products have never been more important, and these ones are good for our homes and our planet.

We'd recommend MyGreenFills for anyone who wants affordable, green, high-efficiency laundry products delivered straight to their door!

We Put A Green Cleaner Up Against The Big Traditional Brands.

Here's what happened.

In recent years there has been plenty of talk about the environment and how our everyday activities, such as cleaning, are affecting it.

That's right, cleaning products can affect the indoor and outdoor environment--leading to pollution and waste.

"Green cleaners" have become fairly popular over the last few years, but are met with plenty of skepticism. People are wondering which of them actually work, what's more effective: traditional cleaners or green cleaners?

MyGreenFills has absolutely revolutionized the cleaning industry. Their Truly Free range seems to have every cleaning product you'll ever need - Bathroom Cleaning, Glass Cleaner, Everyday Cleaner, Degreaser, Odor & Stain Eliminator, Dishwasher, Handsoap, Wood & Furniture Polish, and even a Fruit & Veg Wash!

We decided to put MyGreenFills products to the test against some big traditional brands - Clorox, Lysol, Mr. Clean, and Pinesol. Here's what we found when we compared them:

Convenience

Obviously, all of the traditional cleaning products are readily available in any grocery store. Clorox, Lysol, Mr. Clean, and Pinesol are easily accessible for anyone.

That's not to say, however, that MyGreenFills is by any means inconvenient. If anything, their online store makes it easier - you can purchase from the comfort of your own home! From what we could tell, most traditional cleaners don't really sell online, and when they do it's through a seemingly untrustworthy third-party site

MyGreenFills has taken an extra step for convenience, offering a subscription model. So you can get your cleaning products delivered straight to your doorstep, exactly when you need them. Members even get a significant discount!

If you're a MyGreenFills member, you can sign-up for their refill service. In your first delivery, you will receive your bottle and concentrated refill that you mix at home with water, and order refills when you need them on your schedule.

Ingredients

Clorox, Lysol, Mr. Clean, and Pinsol have toxic ingredients that are bad for the environment, such as Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium Polyacrylate, and Sodium Carbonate. Additionally, some of their ingredients can irritate your skin and some are even linked to cancer.

Truly Free by MyGreenFills ensures all its ingredients are non-toxic with zero harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. The product is also hypoallergenic guaranteed to be safe. Comparing the label with traditional cleaners, their ingredients certainly look and sound a lot safer with no scary-sounding harsh chemicals present.

Price

The prices for each product are mixed, so it's hard to compare everything. With MyGreenFills, their products start at just $9 for members, and most are actually a 2-pack bundle at that price (but it's gonna run you $15 if you're not a member). A great thing about most MyGreenFill products is that they are concentrated liquids that mix with water, so they last very long.

A 90oz bottle of Lysol's Multi-Surface Cleaner goes at about $5. A 32oz bottle of Clorox All-Purpose cleaner is about $4. 45oz of Mr.Clean is just $3, and a 100oz bottle of Pine-sol Multi-Surface cleaner is about $6. But, MyGreenFills is offering 57% off their line of household cleaners, that's more than half off!

Effectiveness

We'll admit it, before we tried out MyGreenFills for this review, we were mostly using traditional cleaning products because we knew that they worked. Now, the main question is… do natural cleaners work?

Well, we don't know about all of them, but after trying MyGreenFills' products, we can confirm this brand is legit. We were pleasantly surprised to see how effective all of their products are without using a single harsh chemical.

Conclusion

So, of all cleaners tested, which one should I purchase? The answer is MyGreenFillsand it's no contest. Thanks to MyGreenFills, we've all been fully converted to environmentally conscious cleaners. These cleaning products work really well and won't harm you, your pets, or the environment. It's a no-brainer! Plus, their subscription model is super convenient and great value.
