What Are the Leading Laundry Detergent Claims?

Written by Bill McClure | Aug 16, 2024 2:00:00 PM

The laundry detergent market is highly competitive and rapidly growing. With numerous options available, consumers often gravitate towards products that offer the most benefits and best results. To stand out in this environment, companies need to find unique ways to attract attention, and one effective approach is through appealing product claims.

Discover what other laundry detergent brands are highlighting in their product claims to capture consumer interest:

Top performance claims:

Naturally destroys foul odors
Consumers look for laundry detergents that eliminate odors at their source, ensuring clothes come out clean and fresh. Effective formulations should neutralize odors rather than simply masking them with perfume.
Will not leave residues
Consumers expect their detergents to leave their clothing clean without any residual stains from the cleaning solutions. Formulations must dissolve completely to prevent any unwanted marks.
Brightens colors, whitens whites
When choosing laundry detergents, consumers want products that are safe for colors, ensuring whites stay bright and colors remain vibrant. Formulations should preserve the original condition of clothes, leaving consumers satisfied after every wash.
Will not corrode washing machines 
Although consumers want their laundry detergents to be powerful on stains and odors, they also need them to keep washing machines in peak condition. Formulations must be washing machine-safe to prevent corrosion and maintain the appliance's longevity.
Made to remove the toughest stains
Consumers seek detergents that can tackle the toughest greases and sticky messes encountered during the day. Formulations must effectively remove these stains, leaving clothing clean and fresh.

 

Other performance claims:

Hypoallergenic ingredients
Many consumers have sensitive skin and experience allergic reactions to certain ingredients, therefore, finding a detergent that suits their needs can be challenging. Formulations should address these concerns by using allergy-friendly ingredients to alleviate potential reactions for buyers.
Natural and biodegradable ingredients 
With increasing consumer eco-consciousness, the demand for plant-based and biodegradable products is on the rise. Formulations must align with these trends in consumer preferences to remain competitive in the market.
Not tested on animals 
Consumers highly value cruelty-free labels. Formulations should guarantee that no harm or killing of animals occurs during any part of the manufacturing process.
