@jeeves_ny: WholeFoods 365 Sport Laundry Detergent a deep dive review! This one is a bit longer so buckle up!!! I was nervous to post this one because this detergent reigns supreme on the laundry subreddit, but in my testing it performed below average. At the standard 1oz dose it scored a 40.5. So before publishing, I looped in a mentor and laundry subreddit legend, /u/KismaiAesthetics, to help make sense of it. The theory: too little surfactant per dose. We retested at 2oz and the score jumped to 52.8, a 33% gain. The culprit is the 92% biobased formula. Whole Foods' strict ingredient restrictions rule out a lot of cheap, effective synthetic surfactants, and plant-based alternatives can't fully match that performance, so something had to give. The upside is the enzyme blend: DNase and lipase. DNase is rare in detergents and targets body-based residues, while lipase breaks down the oily buildup that causes stink and yellowing on collars and armpits. That's the real reason this detergent has such a devoted following. Kismai's recommendation if you use it: pour 2oz, add a separate oxi-based surfactant booster, and plan to pretreat stains. It's effective, but it's a process. A few caveats: I can't test odor removal or body-oil staining directly with my swatches, so real-world performance on stink and yellowing is likely better than the score suggests. It'll also likely underperform in hard water or older top-loaders since it's light on water softeners. And DNase isn't exclusive to this brand anymore, Dirty Labs boosters and Dadmode's stain remover now include it too. It's also genuinely hard to find (I couldn't source it in NYC, a follower shipped me some), and at 2oz it runs about 35 cents a load, above the 20-cent average. Verdict: a meaningful step forward in green detergent chemistry, held back by cost and availability constraints. If you've got stinky synthetics and can track it down, it's worth the extra work. #Laundry #DetergentReview #WholeFoodsSportDetergent

Your account helped me realize the non toxic stuff just doesn’t do it. I was fighting for my lifeeeeee with Mollys suds, pronounce, I can’t even remember what all I’ve tried. I was washing everything multiple times, hot water, extra rinse, tons of vinegar, etc. clothes still sometimes came out funky. I switched to all free and clear (I know it’s lower on the list, I’m getting there lol) and I can wash clothes and they’re done now. No extra rinses, washes, etc. this page is super informative and helpful! Keep up the good clean (haha) work!

Boring millennial :
Thank you for testing all of the laundry detergents. It could be a good detergent to use on occasion, but since Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, it’s a no for me. Thank you again for all you do.

this exposes the biggest weakness of your methodology: there is no single test that can represent all the different use cases and contextual situations for which a laundry detergent will be judged. Stain removal, odor removal, chemical harshness, etc. they are all different things and every person and situation will have different weighting on the importance of these factors

So can we use this with like an Ariel to get the clean and the enzyme? Or am I better off looking for an enzyme additive?
