Review of unscented laundry detergents

Housewives often share their opinions on laundry detergent forums. One of the downsides of automatic washing powders is their strong odor. Most people dislike this odor, and some even experience allergies. Therefore, it becomes necessary to look for a fragrance-free detergent. We'll try to find such powders and examine their advantages and disadvantages.

Pay attention to the composition

When buying unscented laundry detergent, you should first pay attention not to the brand and manufacturer, but to its ingredients. The list of substances contained in a laundry detergent is usually written in small print on the back of the packaging. Don't be lazy, read the entire article, especially if you're looking for a fragrance-free powder. There may be various reasons for searching for such a powder, including:

• pregnancy or the birth of a child, you try to protect the baby as much as possible from harmful chemicals and odors;
• allergy or severe itching of the skin;
• I don’t like strong chemical smells that don’t go away for a long time;
• Pets developed allergies and sneezing.

Whatever the reason for ditching regular laundry detergent, you'll have to put in the effort to find the right one for you. It's quite difficult to tell if a detergent is odorless until you wash your clothes with it. However, you can eliminate all harsh odors and fragrances by checking its ingredients.

The composition should not contain harsh fragrances or strong perfumes. Eco-friendly and hypoallergenic powders most often have this composition, but not all.

Advantages and disadvantages

Washing hypoallergenic powders have a number of advantages over regular powders. These advantages include:

• do not contain synthetic aromatic substances that cause allergies;
• Most powders contain natural ingredients;
• They can be used for washing both adult and children's clothes;
  

  If the composition contains enzymes, then it is prohibited to wash woolen products.

• work mainly at temperatures of 40-65 degrees;
• They are used sparingly, as they are usually concentrated.

The downside of such powders is that the price per pack, despite being economical to use, seems high to many. Not everyone can afford such products. In addition, due to the lack of phosphates and sometimes enzymes in the composition, the powder does not wash away all stains as effectively as one would like.

Overview of funds

Pure Water is a Russian-made, odorless powder. Indeed, it contains no fragrances whatsoever, only zeolites, coconut oil salts, baking soda, sodium citrate, citric acid, and sodium metasilicate. This mixture is virtually odorless, but there is a faint clay odor. Perhaps it's the odor of the unsafe zeolites, but fortunately, it's barely noticeable.

Bio Mio is another laundry detergent from a Russian manufacturer. It also contains no fragrances, so it doesn't have a strong odor. You can see the full ingredients in the photo below. Many housewives who have tried it enjoy washing with this detergent. This concentrated product is economical to use.

Ecover is a Belgian-made laundry detergent that is free of petroleum derivatives. Its eco-friendly formula is suitable for all fabrics except wool. While it's not odorless, the scent is subtle and subtle. It effectively removes stains.

Babyline is a fragrance-free baby detergent, thanks to its natural ingredients. It's made in Germany. This product is gentle on fabrics and rinses well. However, it doesn't always tackle tough stains, which is its downside.

LV is a Finnish laundry detergent for automatic washing machines. The powder has an environmentally friendly formula, containing only three ingredients, and most importantly, no added fragrances or flavors. It leaves no odor before or after washing. Many users like the convenient packaging for pouring powder.

Klar is a German soap nut-based detergent. It's more effective at removing stains at high temperatures. Because it's fragrance-free, laundry remains odor-free after washing.

Please note! We've reviewed many powders from different manufacturers, including Burtii, Dalli, and Ushasty Nyan. Unfortunately, they contain fragrances.

As you can see, even eco-friendly and hypoallergenic detergents can have a scent. It all depends on the formula, which shouldn't contain aromatic fragrances. Well-known products like Tide, Persil, Ariel, and others do contain such substances, which is why many have long since abandoned them. But the choice is yours; you decide whether you like a particular scent or not.
