Bosisto's Sensitive Laundry Liquid

Disappointing Change – I have used Bosistos (Sensitive) Laundry Detergent for decades. Disappointingly, it recently appears there has been a change in consistency, more watery. I find it provides half the washes than did before. Show details

Love these – Have always used bosisto products from their multi-purpose spray to their washing liquid. When I found the capsules at woolworths I was thrilled. Absolutely love these. My partner has eczema and is allergic to a lot of things other then eucalyptus so bosisto products are a favourite in our household. Easy, convenient , good value for money, clothes always clean and smelling fresh Highly recommend Show details

Not good – Yikes this wasn't what I was expecting heard so many good things about this brand and in particular this detergent, it made so many suds even with the tiny amount that I added I gave up luckily bought on special I have no idea why a lot of detergent I've seen lately is doing that surely it can't be user error? Please start refunding us, oh yeah didn't wash great either. Show details

Excessive amount of suds, no accountability from Bosistos – I bought a brand new machine and used a third of the recommended quantity of detergent and bubbles were pouring out of the dispenser and had completely filled the machine. I got a plumber out as I thought it was an issue with the machine and he said he had never seen a detergent generate that many bubbles. Bosistos’ response: ‘unfortunately, some… Read more

detergents aren’t compatible with some machines’. I bought the detergent based on the information given in their labelling and the machine I bought is an extremely popular one. Pretty disappointed.

Worst ever! – Bought this liquid thinking it was a great natural detergent for my sensitive baby. He is completely covered in a horrible rash and so itchy. I have had to use antihistamine to calm him. The worst part about this product is they do NOT list their ingredients. Yet they claim they’re nasty free and all natural. How it’s on the shelves I have no idea. Show details

Not for sensitive skin. Very irritating – - made us itchy, incredibly irritating & drying to skin. Not suitable for sensitive skin. Show details

Warning: caused severe atopic dermatitis outbreak - the worst I’ve ever had – So I have sensitive skin, no doubt about it… but I use Aldi sensitive laundry powder, biozet and I hoped this would be a nice alternative. I got the worst dermatitis reaction I’ve ever had in my life..: the rashes were everywhere and took several weeks to heal, until I realised it was the washing detergent and went back to my regular… my clothes… Read more

felt like I was wearing fibreglass!! I’m sorry to post a negative review, but I was getting rid of every other soap / shampoo / moisturiser thinking there was no way it could be Bosistos laundry liquid… even my sister suggested it and I said “it’s for sensitive skin, there’s no way it could be that…”.

Allergic reaction – Caused hives and extreme allergic reactions although didn’t pinpoint it was laundry liquid till my skin was totally ruined. Frustratingly before buying I asked company for ingredients which they refused to provide. I highly recommend people don’t buy products where company refuses to publish simple ingredients list. Of consumer law doesn’t… Read more

require this Coles and Woolies should act alone and stop stocking it. Sad situation as I like to support Australian entreprise.

NO LIST OF INGREDIENTS – MINUS 10 STARS! Bosisto's Laundry Liquid Sensitive. No list of ingredients on bottle or website! I asked for a list as I am highly allergic. They would't tell me & were evasive! Why won't they say what's in it? Very suspicious! What are they hiding? Is there toxic ingredients? If it's safe they should disclose the ingredients but they won't! VERY SUSPICIOUS!!! I DO NOT TRUST FGB OR THIS PRODUCT! Show details

Excellent product and gets all washing smelling fresh including our tradies work clothes – Excellent, smells fresh, leaves clothes smelling fresh, gets rid of tradies smell from all work clothes fabulous. Could not recommend this highly enough. Easily the best in the market. Also bonus made in Australia. Show details ·  1

The best laundry liquid around for eczema prone skin and dust mite allergy – I suffer from Atopic dermatitis and hayfever with a very high dust mite allergy. I use Bosisto's Laundry liquid to wash my everyday clothes and bedding sheets. It leaves my clothes clean and fresh. I have very sensitive skin, especially to perfumed products. This product is great for my skin. No irritation and best of all, it kills dust mite… Read more ·  1

allergens. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone else who suffers from eczema/dust mite allergy to give this a try. I have been using this product for years and will continue to do so. So glad I found this product!

Too sudsy – When I used this in my front loader it created so many bubbles that I could not see through the front door at all, it was so dense. Then it started coming out the door. My machine is only 3 weeks old and I've only used Omo pods in it prior. I then tried half the recommended dose, then a quarter. Same problem. Sooo many bubbles, but atleast it… Read more

didn't come out the door that time. Had to rinse clothes again. Then ran a rinse cycle again with empty machine. It seems to wash well, and has a nice scent, but using a quarter of the recommended amount meant less scent and still soooo much foam. I'm afraid I'll have to stop using it.

watered down formula? ... uh oh – Recently bought 3 new bottles. Compared it to the current ones ive stocked up on from a few months ago. New formula seems so runny and watery..... looks like quality going down and formula is not of substance

Wonderful product – I love using bosito’s laundry liquid it cleans dirty clothes and stains, build up of underarm products and sweat need pre treatment as all products used for underarms are different, I don’t use the normal dose unless I have a decent load otherwise I use half of what it Saids as all my loads are different my clothes are always clean, sanitized… Read more

smell fresh and my washing machine does not have any build up of gunk when it has a clean I inspected the water it is clear not grey to black and smelly anymore I was amazed, This detergent is amazing, I adjust how much I use as every load I do is not the same and the best thing is it last longer as you don’t need as much as it Saids when you realise how much you need for each load, the downside it is expensive I only buy when on special and always pick up 2 or 3 then I find this product is good value as I use less and only buy it as a special, My clothes are so soft they keep their colour and smell amazing, And eco friendly. Thank you Bositos For a wonderful product.

Foaming Issue – This product excessively foamed in my front loader to the extent there were suds coming out of the dispenser tray and a large amount of water on the ground. I pulled the backing and bottom plate from the machine suspecting a mechanical or seal issue but nothing was amiss. I tried to run the drum clean cycle on the machine only using half a cap of… Read more

bosisto (the manual said to put in twice the normal dose which I wisely did not do). I had so much foam produced that I had to stop the cycle within minutes and hand emptied the machine , this was repeated again as the suds would not disperse. The same happened after trying to wash a large quilt cover and pillow cases it took 4 rinse cycles before the water came out foam free. Water and foam once again came out the dispenser. I feel a bit guilty writing such a review but this detergent drama has caused me hours of hassle and an argument with the significant other. I will no be using this product anymore. To its credit though it seems ok with less than recommended dose but we are not used to being so exacting with detergents as we have used liquid detergents for decades without problems, this includes adultish children who are a bit hap hazard with their dosing. It’s probably ok with a top loader. We have only recently tried this product.

Great for sensitive skin and effective in the wash – I've been using Bosisto's Eucalyptus Oil since I was a kid (I'm now in my 40s so quite a few years!) so I thought i'd give their laundry liquid a try too. My children and i all have skin conditions ( eczema and psoriasis) I found Bosisto's Sensitive Laundry Liquid was highly effective in cleaning my entire family's clothes (even the kids clothes… Read more

that can get stained and muddy) without irritating our skin! Best of all it's Australian owned and made! Honestly highly recommend it especially for those with skin issues! :)

Misleading information from Bosistos – I recently inquired of Bosistos customer service if the Bosistos sensitive laundry liquid contained any coconut products as my skin is allergic to coconut. I received a response from Daniel stating "None of our products contain coconut or coconut derivatives" I then read in a product review statement response from Bosistos " the new formula is… Read more

very similar except for swapping out the palm based surfactant with a more Eco friendly coconut based alternative" Quite obviously your customer review staff have no idea what they are talking about or were deliberately misleading.

Love this product – I have been using it for over a year now. I have a front loader and sensitive skin. I’m my work cloths are black and they come out great. Just wish it got rid of the cat Hair ;-) I have found that it does foam more with a large load eg bed sheets, but have halved the amount and do another rinse cycle at the end. I also add a bit of Bosisto’s… Read more ·  1

eucalyptus oil And lavender oil into the final rinse. Love how it make my sheets smell so fresh.

I would not use anything else.

Bonus it’s Australian owned and made :-)

Disappointing – I have used Bosistos product for more than 20 years. However the new formula laundry liquid sensitive is very disappointing. It's runny and failed miserably on sweaty, grubby clothes. Peww! Show details

Helped some asthma issues and dermatitis – We were finding pretty much all the perfumed products were triggering my husbands asthma and I stumbled across this in Woollies. Straight away thought heck yes since I already used Bosistos eucalyptus oil and their spray for general cleaning. We love it, it cleans well, and my youngest son who had issues with skin rashes on his legs even after… Read more ·  1

stopping body wash/soap use no longer does. Never thought it could be whatever the laundry soap left behind.

too much foam - bad for front loader – Whilst this is OK for regular clothes, when I tried to wash sheets and pillow cases it caused waaay too much foam. Overflowed the machine. I had already reduced the amount to half the recommended dose. Im not sure why this happens with cotton sheets but not other items. (No, i didn't over fill the machine... the first time it happened it was a… Read more

half load...and i thought maybe it needed a full load). I actually liked the liquid as it is meant to help with dust mite allergy but its going to destroy my front loader washing machine. :(

One gets what one pays for, and this is quality – This was on special at Woolworths for $6.90 so having used Bosistos' laudry powder, I decided to bring it home. My wife was pleased with the results. Clothes emerged clean from our top loading Simpson brand washing machine. My impression of this company's products is that quality seems to be the focus. It's less well known than some of the… Read more ·  2

multinationals but Woolies probably did a bit of research and decided, as Australia's leading supermarket, that it had to be seen selling some good alternatives.

I found this product on the top shelf of a suburban Woolies in Melbourne so make sure your eyes move up and down, as Bosistos probably don't pay the supermarkets as much as some competitors do as they may not have a huge marketing budget.

Nonetheless it's encouraging that Woolworths has been promoting this manufacturer in a mini catalogue delivered to my home. 'Australian owned' isn't always a guarantee of quality - look at Qantas! - but in Bosisto's case it seems to be.

Not good in my high efficiency front loader – I have a high efficiency front loader. I recently switched to Bosistos Sensitive Laundry Liquid after reading all the good reviews here. I have been quite happy with it. I'm part way through my third bottle but will unfortunately have to stop using it. While washing a blanket the suds became so excessive that the machine stopped working and required a service call. Show details

Got an allergy (or not)? Use this – My wife has a case of dust allergy. Knowing eucalyptus is great to battle this we tried this liquid in our front washer. What a refreshing product for the clothes that work. My tip is to use half the recommended at least for front loaders as it suds up well. It not only dies a great job but economics. Raven more so now as I found bosito have… Read more ·  1

released the 1litre bottle for same price as 500ml. The only suggestion would be a cap design that doubles as a measure but no itching or sneezing a small price to pay

wonderful – good for my allergies makes my laundry smell nice ie sheets towels pillow cases clothes and blankets will always use and will always buy no matter what time of year  Show reply

It's good for anti-bacteria, but not as a cleaner – I've found that this detergent is very effective at killing bacteria and has a pleasant, iconic eucalyptus scent. So this meant I can run washes cooler, not damage clothes and at the same time have no bacteria (which cause funky smells) build-up in the washing machine. In the past I'd run the wash at over 60C to avoid bacteria & smells. So this is… Read more

definitely a plus.

However, boiling down what a detergent should do, which is clean clothes - this product doesn't do that. Which sucks so much, because it had me for everything else! Shirts get stains under-arm from deodorants and sweat are not removed by this product - in fact, it looks like it makes those stains worse. Leaving this grey-creamy colour behind where the stain would usually just be a light yellow barely visible and only noticed when placed up to the light. So not sure what's with that. Food stains and dirt on denim, cotton shirts, chino pants are also not removed. I've got a front loader and have followed the instructions on the Bosisto's package. At least it doesn't seem to damage clothes and clothes still come out the wash soft and fluffy (unlike Dynamo, which just destroys fabrics).

My review seems to be consistent with others here, in summary: Smells great, doesn't clean clothes

smells great but will not rinse clean – I bought this wash a few weeks ago as my partner and son both have sensitive skin. I was using Earth Choice before which is so much cheaper but I like the Bosisto brand and the benefits like "kills dust mites" won me over, not to mention boys could always smell better. I don't really have a problem with stains generally and the washing does smell… Read more

clean, but the bubbles just wont wash out of my machine. I put 6 rinses on my son's sheets the other day even though I'd used less than a quarter of the specified amount, and there were still bubbles in the window of my front loader (which I clean regularly). Won't be buying this product again.

Best sensitive cleaning product ever – I have used this laundry liquid for many years and won't use anything else now. Love the clean natural smell!  Show reply

Excellent senstive skin and stain removal – Started using this liquid as I was unable to get the Ultra Concentrate Powder and was very impressed. It is good for my sons sensitive eczema prone skin, no reaction. When I have stubborn stains I just rub a little direct on the stain and it has removed chocolate, tomato sauce and even water paint. Very impressed. Love using it for hand washing… Read more ·  1

as I find harsh chemicals make my hands crack this is very gentle on my hands but effective cleaning the washing.

about average – I have got a bositos pack there and found it to suitable as it cleans the clothes quite well and has no nasty smells and doesn't affect my dermatitis skin / I totally recommend this product to anyone who needs to wash their clothes especially if they have sensitive skin though I would dare say it would work better in warmer water in the washing machine

Better than most other laundry products – I have used this laundry liquid for several years. It is efficient, economical and does not leave clothes smelling of artificial fragrance. It is gentle on clothes and the environment. I highly recommend using this product, especially as it is sensitive for we who suffer from allergies. Unfortunately I am finding it difficult to buy as my local supermarket no longer stocks this brand. I am not happy!

Smells good but doesn't clean that well – Great idea... I was keen on a natural product that smelled good. But even the silliest of things, like deodorant, were still on my clothes after washing, and my clothes smelled like the detergent I had used to wash the clothes before! Unfortunately I'll have to give this one a miss.
