Pretty much - I had a read at the Hygienic Clean ingredients when they came out hoping they’d introduce phosphodiesterase like they did with Ariel’s premium formulas in Europe (marketing called it Purezyme™) but nope, pretty similar to OG Tide.
Dropps and Dirty Labs
Currently using the Dropps Ultrawash Plus unscented pods and they’re pretty good. I’ve also had success with the Dirty Labs powder - the scented variety is very light and the unscented is, well, unscented.
I’ve linked the Dropps ones - I picked mine up from Wegmans if...
Current arsenal
Currently have the following on rotation for my colours:
- Miele UltraColor liquid - honestly been pretty good for me, good scent, good cleaning, leaves everything nice and cared for, etc)
- Miele UltraDarks liquid (but only diluted with the UltraColor liquid or with some...

Booster update
Lakewebsterkid, funny how these things go, eh! Both of us doing towels with the booster.
