Why we split Laundry Liquid & Stain Remover (and what changed)Updated 8 days ago

TL;DR: We retired Universal Laundry Liquid in mid-late 2024 and replaced it with Sensitive Laundry Liquid for the main wash, plus a dedicated Stain Remover for pre-treating. The new Laundry Liquid is a thicker, improved formula that is not compatible with the Foaming Spray Bottle. If you want a foaming pre-treat, use Stain Remover.

What changed and why

We listened

Our community told us they wanted stronger wash performance and a gentler experience for sensitive households. We reformulated and launched Sensitive Laundry Liquid.

New texture

The new formula is thicker by design for improved dosing control and wash performance. That extra viscosity means it is not suitable for the Foaming Spray Bottle. Decant from the bag-in-box into the Laundry Pump.

Purpose-built pre-treat

Many of you missed a foaming pre-treat. We created a purpose-built Stain Remover with five targeted enzymes and put all our learnings into it.
