Choosing a good detergent to wash our clothes with can be a complicated task with all the options we have today , and the most popular brands are not always the best quality ones.

The best laundry detergent

As we mentioned, there are many types of detergent on the market. Those that are aimed at colored clothes, those exclusively for white clothes, those that promise maximum softness or those that are special for difficult stains. But the most consumed are those that are usually used for all types of clothing and give us good results.

The average buyer tends to think that the more recognized and expensive the brand of the product, the better results it will offer. But studies show that a white-label product at a low price can be the best on the market This is the case of detergents that we can buy in Spanish supermarkets.

The Organization of Consumers and Users has carried out a study with more than 63 types of detergent of different brands, to determine which are more effective and with better quality in relation to their price. According to this analysis, a product from a well-known private label is in first place in terms of quality, results and price.

The detergent that offers the best result is Mercadona's Bosque Verde Specifically, the Bosque Verde gel that is used for both white and color. This is the first in the ranking with 76 points out of 100, being the best valued of all the detergents that we can buy in the supermarket.
