Do you know what's going down the drain when you're using conventional laundry products? Some of the more traditional detergents contain toxic ingredients that may pose a danger to human and environmental health. Not to mention that most conventional liquid detergents contain well over 50% water! Get more bang for your buck with safer green laundry alternatives.
Most work with both high-efficiency or regular washers and are septic-safe. Extra eco-friendly tip: Many of these products were formulated to work with cold water, so you can save energy and resources when you wash.
Consider one of these plastic-free, planet-friendly green laundry products the next time you run out of product, and make your laundry routine truly clean.
