12 best laundry detergents that perform on all types of washes

Plant-based Ineos draws on the power of botanical science to clean and freshen up clothes, even on cooler washes. There’s no animal enzymes, which means fewer chemicals to irritate skin and damage clothes. We found Ineos detergent consistently left clothes soft and fresh, without making us itch or scratch.
It performed brilliantly on all types of washes. It left white sheets vibrant, without being stiff, and it shifted a pen stain from a school shirt. Whether we washed at 30C or 40C, our load came out clean and beautifully scented – we enjoyed coming home to a whiff of rhubarb in the air, when we’d left fresh laundry drying around the house. The just-washed smell lasted for longer than any other detergent we tested – we could still detect it on our kids’ jumpers after a couple of days.
While the bottle is made of plastic, we like the fact it can be refilled at least 1,000 times with Ineos refills, which come in cardboard packaging. Working out at less than 10p per wash, Morrisons brings us the most affordable laundry detergent on the market. For the price, we didn’t expect much but we were pleasantly surprised by how well it cleaned all types of laundry loads, from towels to delicates. We were impressed by its fresh fragrance, which lingered on laundry, leaving clothes smelling pleasant for days. We also liked how well the gel lifted food stains our children acquired after school or nursery lunches. It dissolved well in the load, too, leaving no residue on our clothes or inside the drum.
