Q: the picture shows 2 different boxes, & each has a different amount of loads per box. My question is, they both have the same weight, so how can the amount of loads be different?

submitted by Alvastarr - 1 year ago
  • A: That's a great question. Our detergents can go through many changes, so the information displayed on the package may change due to a new formula. Since it's possible that the pictures are inaccurate, we suggest you give Target a call. They can be reached at 1-800-440-0680.

Q: Does this contain softener? And is it necessary to use softener with this powder?

submitted by Juna - 4 years ago
  • A: Thanks for asking, Juna! This does not contain softener. For a matching softener with the same scent, try our Gain Original Fresh fabric softener. Give us a call if we can help further: (800) 888-4246.

Q: Does 150 loads mean 150 full scoops?

submitted by Target_user - 4 years ago

If we can help you to achieve the best dosing for your laundry needs, please give us a call at: (800) 888-4246. Thanks for choosing Gain!

Overwhelming smell

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Picky mama - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I normally love Gain, but didn’t realize this has the Aroma Boost and it’s such an overwhelming smell. I have asthma and it’s not a good match. This is not for anyone who has any type of respiratory issues or skin sensitivities/allergies. There should be a big disclaimer on the box!!! We can handle the original just fine, but for some reason the Aroma Boost is just too much.

We’re very sorry to learn about this situation. Please know, your safety is our top priority, and after reading what you’ve shared, we do ask you to stop using this box of Gain Original Scent Laundry Detergent Powder. Put it in a safe space, just in case we need you to return it to us, and call us for more help, and to give us an update on how you’re feeling. Before doing that, we want to make sure you know that we’ve not made any changes to Gain powder since April 2023, when the powder was reconcentrated to allow for lower dosing per load, while still delivering powerful cleaning results. The scoop was also redesigned to align with this dosing. Be sure you’re using the new scoop and dosing directions. Please, call us for more help with this. We’re here Mondays-Fridays, 9 AM to 6 PM, EST and Saturdays-Sundays, from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 888-4246.

Gain is on my laundry shelves at all times. Gets our clothes clean and fresh smelling. The price is comparable with other detergents but I will still pick Gain over all.

I love my Gain laundry soap. It works great in getting clothes clean and it smells great. I’ve had people come up and ask me what kind of laundry soap I use because it smells so good. I like the powder better than the flings but I’ve used them also. It’s also eco-friendly.

These soften my clothes better than any other fabric softener. It leaves a light, very clean and pleasant fragrance. It's not too overpowering just light and wonderful.

Powder detergent that smells like freshness and flowers!

This Gain powder laundry detergent smells like a garden of flowers and freshness. It also lasts a long time and a little goes a long way in the wash. I do like the packaging because it is easy to open. You just have to be careful in not spilling it since it’s hard to close a box entirely. It is also eco friendly because a little soap can be used.
