We put eight brands of washing powder through intense test cycles to see which ones best remove dirt and keep your clothes spotless
We’ve all been in a situation where we’ve spilled tea or coffee or curry on a precious new outfit.

For the tests, we put all the clothes through the same wash and rinse cycles in typical household front-loading washing machines, following the guidance given by the manufacturer on the packaging of each product.
