Our Canadian score

Imported

Origin unverified

Gain Original liquid is not a Canadian-owned detergent. Procter & Gamble of Cincinnati owns Gain, and the product page never names a fill plant. Treat the jug as imported unless a bottle you buy prints a Canadian plant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gain Original liquid laundry detergent Canadian?

What does Gain Original liquid smell like?

Gain calls Original the scent of citrus and mountain flowers, and the smell of a crisp morning outdoors. The same scent is sold in Gain softener and dryer sheets. The liquid page says scent capsules keep releasing during wear.

How long does the Gain Original scent last?

Gain says the liquid keeps laundry smelling fresh for six weeks. That claim is on the Original liquid page, under the scent-capsule benefit. It is a brand claim, not a lab report published on the page.

Can you use Gain Original liquid in an HE washer?

Gain marks this jug for both standard machines and HE machines, and for cold washes. It does not print a dose chart on the web page. Use the lines on the cap of the bottle in your hand.
