Gain Powder Laundry Detergent, Original Scent, 172 Oz (Packaging May Vary)

I've been using Gain Fabric Softener for a while now, and I have to say it's become a staple in my laundry routine. One of the first things that drew me in was the scent—it's incredibly fresh, clean, and long-lasting without being overpowering. Even days after washing, clothes still carry that signature Gain fragrance, which honestly makes folding laundry a little more enjoyable. Beyond the smell, the softener really delivers in terms of performance. Clothes come out feeling noticeably softer, with less static cling and fewer wrinkles, which is especially helpful for items I air-dry. It works great on a variety of fabrics, from towels and sheets to more delicate garments. I also appreciate that it doesn’t leave any residue in my machine or on my clothes. The formula seems gentle, yet effective, and I’ve never had any skin irritation or buildup issues. If you’re looking for a fabric softener that not only softens but keeps your laundry smelling fresh for days, Gain is definitely worth trying.

After raising x4 kiddos of my own.. and housing over 70 shelter babies spanning more then a decade for the state while a permanent home could be found… It’s fair to say- i’ve done my share of laundry- I may even be a semi professional.. ha! Trying every option around in every type pod, powder or liquid- I always navigate back to ORIGINAL GAIN POWDER.. it’s tried and true.. and by far the best value and results I’ve come across for a reliable detergent. A huge statement to take on the dirty I’ve seen.. and one I find Gain can solidly back up.Having a soccer player from toddler thru collegiate play.. i’m seeing every grass, turf, mud stain to exist. After 70+ newborns from formula to diaper accidents, baby food and everything in between.. Or, husband who travels- to bring me dirty clothes after the impact of a stain.. and can’t forget my decade-long equestrian rider.. avid snow skiers and skate boarder. Or the cherry on top.. my wanna be cook who spills it all and never pretreats stains (ha! I’m preaching a tune most mama’s know by heart all too well, but just want to set the stage!)Hands-down, the most refreshing fragrance that is pleasant and won’t make you smell of laundry perfume like other brands (Tide!) can do.. I want a fresh scent that is present in sheets, towels, clothing yet, has the ability to dissipate with my own perfume and fresh air.. personal preference I know. This is a light clean (dare I say floral) scent- with add on dryer Sheet and scent booster- I find it is just enough to do the job intended.As for the tricky stains- I love to use oxy gel with powder and a small brush to activate by pre-treating.. I also thrive on the ability to add more or less detergent by powder form without worry of liquid staining on clothing. Whites look bright and colors hold fast. I know, It’s a lot praise for a detergent.. After using for years- I had to review bc, the price has stayed so reasonable when others have climbed to absurd levels. What’s crazy.. I would pay a higher price to use!! However, I’m grateful I don’t have to!!Crazy as my kids have grown and found themselves doing laundry of their own- everyone has navigated to the same “scent + performance” like their mama uses at home.. think smarter not harder! Try it- is the best advice I can offer. Varied scent options they’ve made are also pleasant- BUT, nothing beats the original! Hoping info can help- stay safe and clean everyone!!Update: making our paste for pretreating a stain did a marvelous job without damaging material or leaving a soap residue stain!! Single-handedly took on raspberry marg. that was spilled at an amusement park and baked in the sun all day.. 15hr later, we whipped up the concoction- and BooM! Removed the stain completely- Noteworthy achievement.. total witchcraft!!!!

I like the powder because of the biodegradable cardboard box (no plastic.) It is cheaper and goes further, my clothes are very clean … and they smell great!

It smells amazing. It cleans white clothes well. Works well. Soft on clothes. And isn't strong on my allergies. Is a bit of a kindergarten protectant.

My favorite detergent ever! This is hard to find in our grocery stores, so I keep it ordered on Amazon! It works well and is easy to portion out. The box of powder lasts me so much longer than the jug of liquid ( of equal load amounts). It gets my clothes really clean and leaves them smelling lightly fragranced . It comes in a cardboard box, which means less plastic waste.

I went back to my powder detergent the smells the wonderful smell and cleaning way better (must be careful not to spill )

My favorite laundry product. This was a great size for the price. Works great, really a good stain remover. Long lasting smell. Longevity. Environment friendly will definitely buy again for sure. 👍💯

I wash twice a week two big laundry basket white and color when they’re full lol wash time.

Work well for me Went back to the old way when there was no liquid detergent. Prices are so high my clothes is Not that dirty. Omg toilet paper smh but we can’t go cheap on that lol
