Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Rain Water Laundry Detergent plastic bottle scores 60/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Rain Water Laundry Detergent plastic bottle lists 7 ingredients, starting with Laureth-7, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ethanol (Alcohol Denat), Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate and Fragrance. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 60/100 Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Rain Water Laundry Detergent plastic bottle lands mid-scale — below the typical score in laundry, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in laundry is Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda at 100/100.
