Lemi Shine Washing Machine Cleaner

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Lemi Shine Washing Machine Cleaner scores 16/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Lemi Shine Washing Machine Cleaner lists 10 ingredients, starting with Citric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Fragrance (Including Citral, d-Limonene, Benzyl Benzoate), Sodium Bicarbonate and Silica. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 16/100 Lemi Shine Washing Machine Cleaner scores worse than most laundry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in laundry is Branch Basics Oxygen Boost, 2 lb at 96/100.
