Best smelling washing powder for… a better night’s sleep

Lavender and chamomile have long been known for their sleep benefits, helping us to get a restful night. And now you can infuse your bed sheets with the sleep-inducing scent thanks to the Bold & Lenor Lavender & Chamomile Dream Team.

With fresh extracts of lavender, flowers and warm woods, the Lavender & Chamomile scent of Bold All-in-1 Pods* are unbeatableas the best smelling washing detergent that cleans brilliantly. And to add to the soothing scent of your fabric softener, Lenor Fabric Conditioner is designed to help you relax and unwind after a stressful day. For super-sleeping power, add a scoop of Unstoppables Dreams Scent Boosters with vanilla, musk and woody fragrances. Dreamy…

Best washing pods for… feeling and smelling fresh

Do your clothes have a musky smell you just can’t get rid of? A key culprit to this is not fully removing dirt in the wash. Up to 70% of stains on clothes are invisible, and if they don’t come off in the first wash, they act like a glue that attracts more dirt. Yikes!

The Ultimate Clean Dream Team will give you an unrivaled clean thanks to Ariel All-in-one Pods with Febreze – and the freshness of Lenor Unstoppables In-wash Scent Booster Ariel will help your laundry smell good for longer. Not every detergent is created equal, and best-smelling laundry products can help your clothes feel fresher and cleaner. With a new matching Ariel scent booster, you’ll reap all the freshness of clean clothes that have been line-dried outdoors – for up to 12 weeks.

Best for… sensitive skin

Sensitive skin needs special care, and that includes thinking about what you wash your clothes in. You might have wondered, “What’s the difference between regular detergent and non-bio detergent?” Well, non-bio detergent doesn’t contain enzymes, which skin can be sensitive to. So, if you are the sensitive type, the non-bio Sensitive Skin Dream Team is for you.

Awarded the Skin Health Alliance seal of approval and voted the No.1 laundry brand for sensitive skin, combine Fairy Non-Bio Pods with Fairy Snuggly Soft Fabric Conditioner for gentle softness the whole family can snuggle up in.

And if you’d like a best smelling non bio washing powder that leaves clothes brilliantly clean and feeling gentle next to precious skin, then Fairy Non-Bio is just what you need.

Best laundry detergent for… body odour

We rarely smell our best when we work out. But it doesn’t help if your odour removal has been unsuccessful, and you start off with bad-smelling workout gear. If left alone, it can get even worse as sweat turns your clothes musky over time.

So if you’re wondering what is the best laundry detergent for body odour, there is a solution: the Odour Defence Dream Team, which works as hard as you do.

Ariel Active Pods with Odour Defence Technology are specially designed to remove sweaty smells, including your sweat odour, as well as give a brilliant clean. For added power, pop in a scoop of Unstoppables Active, which has motion-activated odour-shield technology, helping to prevent sweaty smells from clinging to your clothes, even during the toughest workouts.

Best laundry detergent and fabric softener combination for… summer lovers

Smell scan instantly transport you to a time and place, and when and where better than in a garden on a summer’s day, with freshly cleaned linen blowing in the breeze?

This is where the Summer Breeze Dream Team takes you, with floral top notes on a base of deep wood and musk. Simply use Bold Summer Breeze All-in-one Pods for a brilliant clean and to help your fabric soften, pair together with Lenor Summer Breeze Fabric Conditioner – and, if tumble drying, Lenor Summer Breeze Dryer Sheets. Then you’ll turn every laundry day into a summer’s day.

Best laundry for… smelling amazing

Do you often find that your perfume dissipates too quickly? An ongoing trend in the beauty world is fragrance layering, which helps a scent to last longer. With this in mind, Bold and Lenor created the Ruby Jasmine Dream Team, which is perfect if you want a best smelling laundry detergent.

The combination of Bold Ruby Jasmine All-in-1 Pods with Lenor Ruby Jasmine Fabric Conditioner offers brilliant cleaning power and an addictive aroma of exotic fruits mixed with deep vanilla and musk. To help this sophisticated scent last even longer, add a scoop of Ruby Jasmine Lenor In-Wash Scent Booster Beads. Together, this creates a dreamy base for a touch of delicate perfume and a fragrance combination that lasts.
