Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent

Natural Laundry Detergent – The Greener Alternative

Did you know that conventional laundry detergents can contain up to 25 toxic chemicals? These pollutants flood our water treatment systems and can end up in lakes, rivers and the sea, causing a serious risk to aquatic life. The same effect can happen when chemicals such as phthalates and chlorine bleach remain on our clothes – they are released onto the skin, often leading to irritation, and into the atmosphere. Natural washing detergent is a safer alternative, designed to effectively remove stubborn stains and dirt, without the need for harsh chemicals. Take The Lab Co.’s innovative laundry strips, for example – they’re plant-based, non-bio and contain no unwanted additives such as whitening agents.

Eco-Friendly Washing Powder for Every Kind of Fabric

Don’t let the thought of laundering determine your wardrobe choices. We’ve got eco-friendly cleaning products that’ll take extra care of silky dresses, delicate cashmeres and everything in between. Conscious brand Clothes Doctor uses gentle pH-neutral formulas that not only refresh clothes, but also help to extend their life. Added essential oils such as Himalayan cedarwood and orange provide a natural moth defence – and leave a lovely lingering scent.

Look out for the brand’s sportswear wash too, which makes light work of refreshing sweaty gym kits. Specially designed for synthetic fibres, it washes away sweat and bacteria using deodorising essential oils of eucalyptus and lemongrass, while protecting the performance and integrity of the fabric.

More of a minimalist when it comes to laundry? We like your style – washing less is the best way to do your bit for the environment, after all. Opt for fabric mists that instantly refresh clothes with non-toxic ingredients like eucalyptus, or tackle spills and dirt with a specialist spot stain remover.
