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.

The Laundress Signature Detergent classic plastic bottle lists 10 ingredients, starting with Spring Water, Laureth-6, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Sodium Citrate and Sodium Oleate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 The Laundress Signature Detergent classic plastic bottle scores worse than most laundry we have scored. A higher-scoring option in laundry is Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda at 100/100.
