Omo Sensitive

Have used powder for years..no problem. Bought bottles and have allergic reaction toomo sensitive. Smell over powering.. wondered why my friend and I had sneezing,runny nose and eyes whilst sitting in kitchen. First day of using omo sensitive liquid. I bought two bottles..ahhhhh Show details

It's great, I like it – I absolutely hate the smell of washing detergent. It irritates my eyes and makes me sneeze. I tried using tiny amounts of other detergent and rinsing clothes multiple times but I could still smell it and it irritated my eyes. I bought this one. I have a twin tub and I noticed there were too many suds after a rinse, I lowered the amount I use to… Read more

10 grams for a full tub. That is about 1 dessert spoon. Now it washes and rinses out well. It took me multiple washes with OMO sensitive to get the smell of other detergent products out too.

Now my clothes just smell like clean fabric. It does have an odour, it's not strong and washes out.

I suspect a lot of people use too much detergent and it irritates them and doesn't wash out properly. That will leave your skin sensitive and the next time will be even worse. Work out how much you should be using based on washer size and water usage, or experiment.

Finally found an amazing product – I have been using powder washing powder for a long time such as Fab. I have sensitive skin and have never been able to find a decent alternative until now! the Omo capsuals are soooo much better. no messy powder, no white marks anymore, no strong chemically smelling washing powder, The Omo has a lovely clean fresh smell. I love this product so far. Show details

No smell and cleans the wash (liquid) – We've used Natures Organics Purity for years because it had very little perfume, my husband didn't react to it and it cleaned the clothes. Then they "improved" it. The liquid soap and the conditioner became so smelly that even our daughter said her lips would burn and she suggested this product. More expensive but no perfume and the wash is cleaner.

Awful for sensitive skin – Moved to Aus from NZ and thought Omo sensitive was the same as Persil sensitive due to same looking packaging and colour coding. It has absolutely wreaked havoc on my skin. I am so itchy it feels like torture, has robbed me of days worth of sleep before I figured out what was causing the rash Show details

White residue build up – Just cleaned the liquid dispenser on front loader, found white residue build up within the dispenser, cloths have been coming out with white residue, now wondering if it has the same build up inside the washing machine, where you cant clean . Show details

Gave my daughter HIVES – Gave my daughter with sensitive skin hives after the first use. Even when clothes rinsed again with water it continued to trigger hives. Gave my partner and myself itchy skin and we don't usually have sensitive skin. So I would say this brand is even worse for skin than any fragranced brand that I have purchased in the past. Show details

Irritation of the liquid – I can not believe that this took me so long to solve. I think the smell was so misleading that it never crossed my mind (even though i was ts multiple times)that this could be destroying my and my family's skin. About over a month ago we started using the new omo liquid and it appears so good as it smells delicious however my entire family have… Read more

been itching like crazy our skins are so sensitive that we dewormed ourselves even got blood cleanse treatment and finally just did thorough cleans in the house nothing helped until I realized that the only change we had was the new liquid used this is so so terrible that not Even a allergic helps

OMO InSensitive Powder – Having read reviews of this product, that are critical of the claims that it is safe for sensitive skin, I would like to add my comment on how "insensitive" this product is. As a Veteran of the Vietnam War where I was poisoned with chemicals, I have had varying skin issues for the good part of the last 50 years. I receive constant treatments,… Read more

most of which are highly expensive, for my skin rashes & itches. I have had relative relief over the last 12 months as a result of these treatments, only to be thwarted over the last month or so when I started to use OMO Sensitive Powder. Result: my skin now looks like I am badly sunburnt. Having consulted my dermatologist, it appears my experience is not exactly unknown when using this product. How long does it take for Unilver to withdraw this product, as just on this forum alone, from my reading, complaints regarding adverse reactions go back at least 4 years ? Or is product profits before people the Unilver Mantra ?

Sensitive? It caused a bad rash on my daughters skin! – Purchased this to was my and my daughters clothes. Not long after she stared scratching and developed a rash that wouldn't go away. After seeing the doctor and trying everything we could think of we realised it was the omo sensitive liquid! Changed back to our usual and the rash disappeared. Can't believe something that is supposed to be sensitive and dermatologist recommended had such a bad reaction. Show details

Ineffective – I had used regular Omo for years until they changed it to an overpowering smell. Switched to Omo Sensitive as it's supposed to smell less but it still has a noticeable smell. Unfortunately, it does not get white clothes white. All my whites, linen, towels etc are now yellowish. Show details

Horrible rashes – My baby boy had rashes all over his body for six months before we realised this washing detergent was the culprit. I'm outraged that this product is marketed as safe for babies with the picture of a baby on the front. We were prescribed steroids for my son but his rash continued to return until I stopped washing his clothes with this product. Six months of itchy rashes that kept him awake at night thanks to this product. Show details

Terrible! Don't do it – This product is very different to the normal Omo Sensitive liquid. The capsules have an overly strong scent which sets my allergies off. Most ppl wanting the sensitive OMO will not want this smell!!! If you don't like strong scented detergents then I suggest stick to the normal Omo Sensitive liquid or powder Show details

USELESS – I used OMO sensitive liquid for a month. Several times while hanging out my freshly washed clothes I found they smell and look the same as before they went in the wash. The smell of stale deodorant under the arms of my work shirts, socks still smell. The clothes look no different than when they went in. If there is a mark on my work shirt, that… Read more

mark stays there. General dirt on the cuffs of my cotton work shirts came out looking grey. No difference there either. I am not sure what product I am going to try next

This is terrible for any one with allergies – I have had endless allergies since using this product. I constantly sneeze when I use it and then the smell remains on my clothes. Thank goodness I have antihistamines. Not recommending this at all. Perhaps they should take the perfume out of it. Show details

Omo sensitive powder does not remove sweat odour – I have sensitive skin and wash clothes in a front loader. Ever since Omo stopped having washing powder dedicated to front and top loaders 2 years ago to the one formulation for both machines, I've had problems getting the sweat odour out of our cotton clothes using cold water. The clothes otherwise aren't very dirty. Nothing seems to work unless I… Read more

pretreat with sards liquid spray and wash in hot 40C water. But then I'm left with the smell. I don't know what other product I can use that is good for people with sensitive skin and for a front loader at regular temperatures.

Terrible allergies – I recently purchased new package of laundry powder OMO sensitive. I have noticed that my son could not sleep during day or night, as he was itching and his nose was runny and couching. I did not think that it was a reason from the beginning. But then I changed my bedsheets which I washed with another powder and my sons allergy disappeared. I’m so disappointed as I purchased 7 kg pack Show details

White marks – I have sensitive skin so tried this product, purposely bought the liquid to have on powder marks or powder left behind. IT LEFT WHITE MARKS ALL OVER MY BLACK CLOTHES. Show details

Has this product been changed? – I have had MONTHS of severe eczema, and only just found that the products may have changed when it moved from my hands and eyes to my entire body. Has this product changed? And if so, why?? Show details

Not the best – I was using this because I wanted something gentle that worked well. I find this leaves items I’ve washed hard, crispy, and not as clean as when I’ve used cheaper sensitive options. It’s terrible at removing stains compared to others too. I know it’s in scented but this doesn’t even make clothes smell like they have been cleaned.. comes out still smelling dirty  Show details

Really disappointed – I've been relying on omo sensitive for years . But the new sensitive capsules smell very strong and give me headaches. Had to rewash clothes. I'm hoping you can fix this as I want to keep using your products.  Show details

Ewwwwww – I’ve got sensitive skin and absolutely HATE the smell of laundry liquid. It really sets me off! I recently bought the Omo capsules thinking they were like the regular Omo sensitive liquid which I love cause is has NO fragrance. Absolutely SO disappointed when I opened the machine be door what I smelt an overpowering smell. Why market these… Read more

capsules to sensitivities when they clearly have a strong smell. Omo... take these off the market immediately and replace with capsules that have. NO smell. Not happy, and will be returning to Coles for a full refund!

Perfume totally overpowering – Have used OMO Sensitive Liquid for years and loved it but recently purchase Sensitive Pods NEVER AGAIN. I am currently soaking yesterdays wash hoping to get rid of the overpowering smell. The pods will be in the next garbage collection. Show details

Caused terrible allergic reaction – I bought this powder because it is apparently for sensitive skin - I wish I'd read the reviews here first! It took about a week, but I developed a rash on my face and generally itchy skin all over. Unfortunately it took me 6 weeks to work out what was causing it, as I figured it couldn't be the detergent because it was for sensitive skin. My face… Read more

rash is getting better now I've changed detergent, but I'm faced with re-washing everything and waiting for the allergic reaction to calm down. This product should be removed from the market or reformulated to actually be kind to sensitive skin!

Formula changed, excessive foaming – Have been using OMO powder for 30 years. When powder was separated for top loaders and front loaders it was OK. Since they combined it, it is not possible to use this product in the front loader due to excess foaming. I am using the same amount of detergent and tried even less but still the same. Must find better 'sensitive' wash brand. Show details

Terrible itchiness, blobs left on clothes – Didn't fully realise that my terrible itchiness problems were caused by this rubbish until I read the other reviews here. They have improved though certainly not to a satisfactory extent since switching to another big brand but will be looking to buy Bosistos or Euca from now on given the good reviews about them that I have read here. I think it was irresponsible of my washing machine manufacturer to recommend it and will never use it again. Show details

Never been so itchy!! – Have been using OMO sensitive for some time but in the past 12 months I have been terrorised by itching. Could not figure out what was causing it, but it tended to be where clothes touched closely e.g waistband of jeans etc. SO relieved to read these reviews that it is something as simple as being allergic to this stuff. Coming into summer here… Read more

and my skin looks horrendous from perpetual scratching. Off to the supermarket now to buy an alternative and give my poor skin a break. You'd think I would have realised when the skin on just my hands feels tight from hanging out the washing. Oh well...live and learn!!

Will NEVER buy again opened the packet and I'm itching – I have been buying OMO for 40 years - well, no more. Just opened the packet and I am itching all over. There is perfume in this SENSITIVE OMO, and it says gentle on skin. Who would ruin the best product on the Market? Show details

Added scent has destroyed the appeal of Omo sensitive - the new formula is NOT for sensitive people – The changed formula for sensitive omo is exactly NOT what the purchasers of a sensitive product want - it now has scent and I need to find another brand. I was a loyal omo sensitive purchaser until now. Show details

Discoloured my brand new manchester – On two occasions I have used this product to clean brand new manchester before first use. The first time I used the capsules to wash brand new expensive towels that were a light blue colour. After washing, the towels were discoloured with faded light patches throughout. After vowing to not use the capsules again, I purchased the sensitive liquid… Read more

and used it to wash a brand new natural coloured Sheraton linen quilt cover set. I was stunned to see that, again, the material on some parts had discoloured to a patchy grey colour. I was extremely disappointed as this was all brand new, high quality manchester, some of which was given to me as a Christmas present. Will not be buying anything from this range again.
