Wishing Well has received the top honor in the laundry category of the 2026 Clean House Awards from Better Homes & Gardens. The brand has been recognized for its specialized detergent, which can clean effectively while remaining gentle on sensitive skin.
Wishing Well’s product — the Wishing Well Afterglow Laundry Detergent — boasts a non-toxic and ultra-concentrated formula that is housed in a sleek aluminum pump bottle. The formula is both plant-based and dermatologist-approved. Wishing Well also calls attention to the packaging — the claim is that the pump format makes dispensing more precise and, thus, marks a departure from traditional bulky plastic jugs and messy pouring spouts.
At its core, Wishing Well offers a solution for households with young children, individuals with eczema or allergies, or anyone simply tired of choosing between clean clothes and comfortable skin.
