Have you ever felt overwhelmed when you enter the laundry detergent aisle? With all of the different options, it's easy for choice anxiety to kick in. Every brand claims to use the best cleaning technology, stain removal methods, and even worse: the same boring, generic fragrances.

As formulators of the world’s most luxurious laundry pods, we know exactly what you should look for when buying laundry detergent. Here are 3 factors to keep in mind.

1. Ingredients Matter

Erasing stains from your fabrics is no easy feat. Detergent needs 4 key enzymes to get the job done:

• Protease
• Amylase
• Lipase
• Mannanase 

These enzymes work hard to break down stains and flush them off fabric, leaving your clothes cleaner than your Saturday night. Lower priced detergents might be tempting, but they come at the cost of lacking these stain-fighting superheroes.

In addition to the important enzymes, a quality detergent will also include polymers and surfactants. These ingredients prove to be vital, as polymers fight tough stains buried deep in the fabric, reduce pilling, and aid the surfactants, which help trap dirt and water stains and remove it from the surface of your fabrics.

Laundry Sauce pods contain all of these key ingredients and clean well in every water condition. Even the toughest stains (we’re looking at you, red wine) don’t stand a chance and your clothes, towels, and sheets will get first-class treatment with every wash.

2. Many Detergents Are Watered Down

Water is essential to laundry (groundbreaking, right?), but you don’t need added water or high concentrations of water in your detergent for a good wash.

Low-quality detergents add water to dilute the product. So, while it seems like you’re getting more bang for your buck, you’re really just paying for more water in your wash….yikes! At Laundry Sauce, our laundry pods are less than 10% of water, making sure you always have maximum cleaning power.

Looking for an easy way to tell if your current detergent is diluted with water? Check out the viscosity, aka thickness. If your detergent is thick then congrats, you’re using a high-quality laundry detergent like Landry Sauce! If it looks thin or water-like, you’ll want to consider switching to a higher concentration detergent. 

3. Don't Settle for Boring Scents

Unlike competitors with laundry detergent that smells like baby powder, Laundry Sauce’s pods are stain fighting machines with scents that transport you to far-off locales. Our talented master perfumer creates these scents with high-end natural ingredients, and packs them into our formula for more fragrance concentration than competitors.

With luxury fragrances like Australian Sandalwood, Egyptian Rose, Indonesian Patchouli and Siberian Pine, there’s a scent for everyone to choose from without compromising on great cleaning technology. Find your favorite today–you’ll never go back!
