Seven out of 15 recommended models in the latest Consumer Reports laundry detergent Ratings are from Tide. But not every Tide detergent we tested made the cut, and a few other brands are worth considering if you're looking to save money without sacrificing cleaning power.
Our latest laundry detergent Ratings cover 66 detergents across what's become a rather complicated market. For example, several manufacturers now offer single-use packs, which make proper dosage a cinch for normal-size loads, while sparing apartment-dwellers the hassle of lugging a hefty container to the laundromat. Unfortunately, those conveniences are cancelled out by paltry cleaning performance with some packs. You'll also find more dual-use detergents that work for standard or high-efficiency washers. Green detergents abound as well, including those that meet the first-ever federal organic standard.
To test detergents, we use swatches stained with blood, mud, chocolate ice cream, grass, red wine, ring around the collar, and tea. The best models in our Ratings are able to vanquish a variety of stains. Tide's winning formulas do so for between 16 cents and 23 cents per load, while a pair of Up & Up detergents, exclusive to Target, get the job done on certain stains for around 10 cents per load. Check out the complete laundry detergent report for more details, including the name of the only single-use pack that makes the winner's circle.
