Understanding perceptions of top laundry detergents

Background and Objectives

Laundry detergents are a vital component of our daily lives. They help to remove stains, dirt, and odors from our clothes and keep them looking and smelling fresh. With so many brands and types of laundry detergents available in the market, it is important to understand consumer preferences and needs. A leading detergent manufacturer wanted to compare and analyze four leading laundry detergent brands to determine which one is the most effective, as well as gather insights on consumer preferences.

Research Methodology

We conducted a survey and carried out a comparative analysis of four leading laundry detergent brands - Tide, Persil, Gain, and Arm & Hammer using Enumerate AI’s proprietary mechanism. We tested these brands based on their ability to remove stains, whiten clothes, and remove odors. Additionally, we gathered insights from the survey to understand their preferences and needs when it comes to laundry detergents.

Findings

Our analysis revealed that Tide was the most effective laundry detergent brand overall. It performed exceptionally well in removing tough stains, whitening clothes, and removing odors. Persil was a close second, with similar performance in stain removal and odor removal but slightly less effective in whitening clothes. Gain performed adequately in stain removal but was less effective in removing odors and whitening clothes. Arm & Hammer was the least effective of the four brands in all three categories.

When asked about their current laundry products, 75% of respondents said they used a laundry detergent, 15% used a laundry pod, and 10% used a laundry booster. Of those who used a laundry detergent, 40% used Tide, 30% used Gain, 20% used Persil, and 10% used other brands.

When asked specifically about their current laundry detergent, respondents cited various reasons for their choice of brand. The most common reasons were effectiveness in stain removal (45%), scent (25%), and brand loyalty (20%).

When asked what they wished their current laundry detergent could do better at, respondents mentioned whitening clothes (35%), removing tough stains (30%), and removing odors (25%) as the top areas for improvement.

When asked what would convince them to buy a laundry detergent brand they have never used before, respondents cited recommendations from friends or family (35%), a free sample (30%), and a trusted brand name (25%) as the top factors.
