- Dirty Labs | Free & Clear | Bio Laundry Detergent | 80 Loads (21.6 fl oz)

For years I’ve been searching for fragrance-free products that actually work. If you’ve ever tried the usual “Free & Clear” options, you probably know the story: they’re marketed as gentle, but most of them underperform. Tide Free & Gentle (or “Gentle Free & Clear,” whatever they’re calling it now) doesn’t clean nearly as well as regular Tide. All Free & Clear and Kirkland Free & Clear are even weaker. And when Tide Ultra Stain Release Free & Clear was discontinued, it felt like the last great option was gone. Dirty Labs has completely changed that. Their Unscented Bio Laundry Detergent is the first fragrance-free formula I’ve found that actually matches or exceeds the cleaning power of mainstream detergents. The yardstick in my house is my husband’s laundry: he has extremely oily skin and hair, and most fragrance-free detergents simply can’t get his clothes and pillowcases clean and free of sebum residue. Dirty Labs can. The only mainstream product that comes close right now is All Free & Clear Odor Relief, but even that doesn’t perform quite as consistently. With Dirty Labs, everything comes out fresh, soft, and truly clean. And it only takes two teaspoons per load. Now, about those pumps. I’ve seen some reviewers complain about having to pump eight times. Honestly? It takes maybe 15 seconds. That’s not a flaw, that’s just concentrated detergent in action. You can either pump straight into your washer’s detergent compartment or use the little silicone cup that comes with the system and toss it right in with your clothes. It’s neat, tidy, and easy. What really elevates the experience, though, is the Reusable Erlenmeyer Glass Flask. This is one of the most thoughtful product designs I’ve ever seen in a cleaning product. The glass feels sturdy and high-quality in your hand, the proportions are comfortable to hold, and it looks beautiful sitting out on the shelf. No more ugly plastic jugs, no more industrial packaging that you want to hide away — just clean lines and timeless design. It’s eco-friendly, it’s reusable, and it turns laundry into a routine I actually don’t mind. The flask plus the detergent together feel like a well-thought-out system, not just a product. And while I was switching over, I decided to try the Dishwasher Detergent too. It’s every bit as effective as the laundry detergent. Dishes come out sparkling, without residue or synthetic fragrance. No heavy perfumes masking “clean,” just actual clean. Between the laundry detergent, the flask, and the dishwasher detergent, Dirty Labs has created a complete system for the home that’s sustainable, safe, and effective. I’ve been so impressed that I bought sets for my mom and both of my adult daughters. When you find something that works this well, you want to share it. Dirty Labs solved a problem I’ve had for years: how to get truly clean clothes and dishes without relying on harsh, heavily scented mainstream products or disappointing “free & clear” versions that don’t do the job. If you’re on the fence, here’s my advice: don’t just buy one piece — get the whole system. The Unscented Laundry Detergent, the Erlenmeyer Glass Flask, and the Dishwasher Detergent. Together they make cleaning simple, elegant, and effective. This is one of those rare cases where you really can have it all: eco-conscious design, fragrance-free formulas, and powerful cleaning performance.

I’ve repurchased this detergent and plan to continue doing so because it checks a lot of boxes for me. The biggest reason is the ingredient list. I’m very intentional about the products I bring into my home, and I appreciate that Dirty Labs focuses on bioenzymatic cleaning technology and thoughtfully formulated ingredients rather than relying on harsher chemicals. The Murasaki scent is pleasant and clean without being overpowering. It’s not necessarily my favorite fragrance of all time, but I enjoy it enough that I never get tired of smelling it on freshly washed clothes. The scent feels subtle and sophisticated rather than artificial or overwhelming. One thing I’ve noticed is that the detergent lasts longer than the packaging suggests. The bottle is marketed for 32 loads, but I routinely get more than that because I adjust the amount based on the size and soil level of each load. A little goes a long way, and I’ve found it to be very concentrated. Most importantly, it cleans well. My clothes come out fresh, and I feel good knowing I’m using a product whose ingredient philosophy aligns with my values. If you’re looking for a detergent with effective cleaning performance, a pleasant scent, and a cleaner ingredient profile, I think this is worth the investment. It’s become a staple in my laundry routine, and I will absolutely repurchase it.

If I could give this detergent 10 stars I would. I have been waiting for a detergent like this for decades. It cleans better than ANY detergent I have ever used, it doesn’t have a chemical smell and a tiny bit goes a long way which protects my washing machine and my budget. I am chemically sensitive and Also have a very good sense of smell. I am extra aware of wether my clothes Actually smell clean without fragrances to conceal what isNT being cleaned. So laundry coming out still smelling really bothers me but I can’t use conventional laundry detergents due to the fragrances and the scent free ones I tried just didn’t actually clean my laundry and still had that not quite clean laundry smell. I am DELIGHTED with this brand. It actually cleans my laundry and it smells fresh because it’s actually clean. I have really put it through the wringer too with dirt, grass stains, all kinds of food stains, sweat stains, blood from a skinned knee, and more. It gets EVERYthing out. It even brightened up an old duvee cover that was “clean”. It took out all the musty smells, old fragrance smells and made it look vibrant and brand new again (it had been looking dull and grungy). This seemed expensive when I bought it the first time because you get an 8 ounce bottle, and I was like there’s no way that this is gonna last as long as they say. But it did. You really truly do not need very much. My clothes are the cleanest they’ve ever been. I’m still shocked every time I wash something that I haven’t worn in a while and it comes out cleaner then when I put it on. Also, being chemically sensitive I do not tolerate synthetic fragrances at all. Like zero. I tried other brands that claim to be natural and I still get reactions to them. I have zero reaction to both scents in this brand. I’m not claiming that all people that are chemically sensitive would have the same experience as me, But both sense are gentle, they’re not overpowering, they didn’t cause my skin to react and they didn’t give me my typical chemical sensitivity reaction either. The good smell was present but was not overwhelming - and I love that I can finally have clean detergent AND a pretty scent on it. And if for some reason you don’t want scents, they offer a fragrance free option. I highly recommend this detergent. It is hard to impress me when it comes to laundry detergent. I really dived deep into experimenting with different brands and different types for a while, and this is my number #1 pick. Even though it’s a little bottle, I spend less money overall on this detergent. And it Actually cleans the laundry and doesnt just gloss over with fragrances. I absolutely love it. It deserves 10 stars.

Love the scent, hate the mess. Please, Dirty Labs, re-think the packaging. The bottle is always messy and sticky because there is no way to pour it without it clinging and dripping down the outside. Even the powder booster is a tough package because the lid that holds the spoon is very hard to get off to get to the detergent. Love the smell though. Cleans well.

I like this product very much for cleaning delicates and wool items since it doesn't have the enzyme that can weaken wool fabric. There is no scent, which is really hard to find in delicate and wool washes. It does not irritate the skin, and I have eczema and extremely sensitive skin. I like that you just toss the measuring cup in the detergent drawer - I don't have to worry about getting every drop. This is a little pricey so look for it on sale, but to me it's worth it for gentle, unscented clothes wash.

The product is ok. It smells almost like body oder. I would not recommend this product.

This remove pet outdoors and stains without damaging fabric. I've used it on laundry and for spot cleaning. It's a great laundry detergent overall. It has a lovely neutral scent that doesn't bother my allergies. Dissolves in cold water. Highly concentrated so easy to use in a compact bottle. Excellent little measuring cup. A little goes a LONG way.

This stuff is amazing at cleaning your laundry. Scent is not too strong, and even the aggressive sweaty summers we have here in Northern California is no match for this detergent. The bottle the detergent comes with is not the best and tends to leave drippings on the sides. Just make sure you rinse the side or wipe away the excess with your current laundry load. There's also instructions on the bottle that tells you how to properly dose the amount based on your laundry load. If in doubt, error on the conservative side to start, as this stuff is super concentrated and then adjust accordingly if needed. The detergent is almost like a gel-like consistency. How well does it clean? Amazingly well. It does an amazing job at lightening aggressive stains without pretreating them (although you should still pretreat stains depending on the type and how aggressive they are as general good practice). Even the harsh summers we have here in Northern California is no match as it easily removes even aggressive body odors. I find the detergent works best with warm water (bio detergents uses enzymes, hence the name. You don't want to use water that's too cold, nor do you want to use overly hot water otherwise it won't be as effective). If your laundry is really dirty OR smelly, using the soak option on your washer (if applicable) for about 20 minutes and it will clean even the most stubborn load of laundry you have. I highly recommend this laundry detergent, especially if you've tried many various detergents in the past and are still struggling to get clean clothes. Remember to follow good laundry care practices such as not overly using too much detergent, ditch the fabric softeners, an dry your clothes as soon as possible once they're done washing to prevent them from building up a mildew "after-scent".

Great clean on all my fabrics

It's not unscented. Drove my aesthma way up and may have ruined my sheets and clothes. F--- this brand. Also, as others have stated, the bottle design is CRAP. I hate it when products position themselves as 'premium' but are less useful than the basic brands at the damn grocery store...disappointing.
