So, I’ve been trying to find a laundry detergent that smells good, cleans well, and is gentle on my skin. You know, the usual drill when you’re hunting for a new detergent. I stumbled upon this Gain Botanicals White Tea and Lavender thing, and I figured, why not give it a shot?

First off, I went to the store and picked up a bottle. The label said it’s made from 65% plant-based ingredients, which sounded pretty good to me. I’m not exactly an eco-warrior, but I do like the idea of using something that’s a bit more natural.

When I got home, I threw in a load of laundry. I poured in the detergent, and the first thing I noticed was the smell. Man, it smelled amazing! It’s this nice, calming mix of white tea and lavender. Not too strong, but definitely noticeable. It felt like I was sticking my nose in a field of lavender, seriously.

I used my usual washing machine settings, nothing fancy. This detergent works in all types of washing machines, so that was a plus. No need to change up my routine or anything.

After the wash cycle finished, I took out the clothes and gave them a good sniff. The scent had permeated the fabric nicely. It wasn’t overpowering, just this subtle, fresh smell that made me want to bury my face in the clothes. My clothes also felt clean and soft. I even had a shirt with a bit of a stain on it, and guess what? The stain was gone! No joke, I was pretty impressed.

I’ve been using this detergent for a couple of weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m really liking it. My clothes smell great, they feel clean, and my skin hasn’t reacted weirdly to it or anything. I even washed my bed sheets with it, and sleeping was like a dream.

• Pros:
  • Smells amazing
  • Cleans well, even got rid of a stain
  • Gentle on skin
  • Made from 65% plant-based ingredients
  • Works in all washing machines
• Cons:
  • It’s not vegan, so if you’re strict about that, this ain’t it.

All in all, I’m pretty stoked about this Gain Botanicals White Tea and Lavender detergent. It’s ticking all the boxes for me. I’ll definitely keep using it, and I’d recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for something that smells good, cleans well, and is a bit more natural. And, oh, if you have any questions about using it, just ask me in the comments. We can talk about this detergent!
