Product Reviews by Experts


What I like most about using the Koala Eco Lemon Scented Laundry Detergent is the refreshing, clean scent it leaves on clothes without being overpowering or artificial. It’s reassuring to know that it’s made from plant-based ingredients and free from harsh chemicals, especially when washing clothes for my children. I’m most impressed by how Koala Eco integrates its values into every layer of the business, from ingredients and packaging to staff wellbeing and community impact. Their commitment to using only plant-based, non-toxic ingredients and Australian curbside recycled plastic shows a genuine dedication to environmental sustainability. I also find it inspiring that they actively support their team’s mental health by encouraging regular time in nature and that they back meaningful causes like ReLove and the Critters program, helping vulnerable women and at-risk youth. This level of integrity and care, both for people and the planet, sets them apart in the crowded natural products space!


I love how fresh and natural it smells, thanks to the beautiful blend of lemon, eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils. It cleans effectively without any harsh chemicals, which makes it gentle on sensitive skin and better for the environment. Their commitment to employee wellbeing, encouraging staff to connect with nature during work hours, also shows a thoughtful, holistic approach to purpose that goes beyond just the product!


I thoroughly enjoyed using this product, it smells absolutely amazing and fresh. It left my clothes with a clean, refreshing scent that lasted, which I really loved. I was also impressed with how easily stains came off; I found I didn’t even need to pre-soak any clothes. I’d happily use this product again and make it a regular part of my laundry routine. I love that this product is made with all clean ingredients, which is so important to me. What really stood out is the brand’s commitment to sustainability by offering refills and concentrates, it’s such a smart way to increase efficiency and reduce shipping waste. I absolutely love that I can keep the bottles and reuse them over and over again. It’s thoughtful, eco-friendly and super practical!
