Arm & Hammer Liquid Laundry Detergent: Which Formula to Grab

The ARM & HAMMER Plus OxiClean with Odor Blasters is the formula to reach for when odor is the main problem. The listing describes a concentrated liquid powered by Odor Blasters and OxiClean stain fighters, with 3X the odor fighters in every load. It names the targets directly: pet odors, damp clothes, body odor, sweat and musty towels. That list reads like a description of a gaming headset cushion cover or a jersey after a long tournament day.

It also claims to attack over 101 stains, including food, grass, grease and ink, and to whiten whites and brighten colors while leaving a long-lasting Fresh Burst scent. This listing is the larger of the two OxiClean jugs, at 13.98 pounds by the stated product dimensions. The listing does not specify how many loads it provides, so compare jug weights rather than load counts when choosing between the two OxiClean sizes.

This size suits households doing several loads of workout gear, towels and everyday clothes each week. It gives way to the smaller OxiClean jug if storage or lifting is a concern, and to the Sensitive Skin formula if anyone in the house reacts to scented detergents.

• 3X odor fighters in every load, per the listing
• Attacks over 101 stains
• Fresh Burst scent
• Targets sweat, body odor and musty towels

The ARM & HAMMER Liquid Laundry Detergent in Clean Burst Scent is the standard formula most people picture when they think of the brand. The description says it is concentrated with 2X stain fighters in every load compared with the leading value detergent, and that it tackles dirt, odors and stains such as grass, food spills and oily marks. It leaves a light Clean Burst scent on towels, sheets and team uniforms.

The description states 174 loads, up from 170 in the previous version. The listing title calls it 174 Fl Oz, which does not match a load count, so the load figure in the description is the clearer number to trust. At 12.31 pounds, it is a mid-weight jug.

This suits readers who want a dependable everyday detergent for mixed loads and do not need the extra odor push of OxiClean. If you like a stronger fragrance profile, our guide to Arm & Hammer laundry detergent in fresh scent covers that direction.

The ARM & HAMMER Liquid Laundry Detergent in this listing is the Arm & Hammer laundry soap large size option. The description describes the same Clean Burst formula as the 174-load bottle, with 2X stain fighters per load versus the leading value detergent, but the jug is bigger: 205 loads, up from 200 in the previous version.

That makes it the highest stated load count in this roundup. The trade-off is weight: at 14.44 pounds, it is the heaviest jug here, so it suits a laundry room with a sturdy shelf or a machine with space next to it. The formula itself targets grass, food spills and oily stains and leaves a light Clean Burst scent.

Choose this size if your household runs laundry daily and you want to restock less often. If you live in a small apartment or carry laundry up stairs, the 110-load bottle is easier to handle.

The ARM & HAMMER Plus OxiClean in this listing carries the same description as the large jug: Odor Blasters and OxiClean stain fighters, 3X the odor fighters per load, over 101 stains and a Fresh Burst scent. The difference is size. Its product dimensions list 6.77 pounds, roughly half the weight of the larger OxiClean jug.

The listing does not specify the load count here either. That smaller format suits dorm rooms, shared laundry rooms and anyone who wants to try the Odor Blasters formula on their gear before committing to a bigger jug. The odor claims for sweat, damp clothes and musty towels are identical, so you are choosing on storage and lifting, not performance.

When you weigh Arm & Hammer OxiClean vs regular, this is the key point: the OxiClean version adds a stated 3X odor fighters and a longer stain list, while the Clean Burst formula claims 2X stain fighters versus a value detergent. For hard odors, OxiClean is the targeted pick.

The ARM & HAMMER Sensitive Skin Free & Clear liquid detergent is built for skin comfort first. The description says it is free from dyes, perfumes and preservatives, hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested and certified by SkinSAFE. It still claims 2X stain fighters in every load versus the leading value detergent, and it is described as working in all wash temperatures, including cold water.

It is a low-sudsing formula that rinses clean and works in both standard machines and High Efficiency (HE) models. The package lists 7.51 pounds, and the listing does not specify the load count.

This suits anyone with sensitive skin, people who wear headsets and tight-fitting gear for long periods, and households that simply prefer no fragrance. It gives way to the OxiClean formula when stubborn odor is the main issue. For the smallest members of the family, our Arm & Hammer baby laundry detergent guide is a closer match.

• Free from dyes, perfumes and preservatives
• Dermatologist-tested and SkinSAFE certified
• Works in cold water
• Standard and HE machines

The ARM & HAMMER Liquid Laundry Detergent in this listing is the compact Clean Burst bottle. It uses the same formula as the larger Clean Burst jugs, with 2X stain fighters per load versus the leading value detergent and a light Clean Burst scent. The description lists 110 loads, up from 105 previously.

At 7.8 pounds, it is far easier to lift and store than the 174-load or 205-load bottles. That makes it a fit for a small apartment, a college room or anyone testing whether the scent works for them.

It gives way to the larger Clean Burst sizes if you run a lot of laundry, since you will simply restock more often with this one.
