Do you want to have a laundry detergent fit for a kidnapped heiress? Well, just repeat after us! Here are some good detergents to avoid unhealthy chemicals. It’s a better kind of behavior modification.
- Liquid (Mrs. Meyer’s Laundry Detergent) concentrated, works like a charm, and we love the lavender scent about $15 for a 64 loads.
- Powder (Ecover Laundry Powder) powder’s always a nice, cheap bet. This version works almost as well as our liquid, about $7 for a 19 loads.
- Whites (Laundress Whites Detergent) solid bleach-free detergent that brings out the brightness in your whites and smells super fresh, about $20 for a 32 loads. Another is (OxiClean Free) this is for tough whitening jobs, it gets whites whiter without the fragrance in typical OxiClean; you can also use as a booster for colors, about $10 for a 28 loads.
- For the Laundromat (Dropps) portable liquid detergent in packets that biodegrade during the wash cycle; approved for the environment program, this is about $7 for a 20 loads.
Here are some benefits in using these chemicals. Oil control, if every household replaces one box of 48-ounce, petroleum-based powder laundry detergent with a vegetable-based one, we’ll save enough oil to heat and cool 5,300 homes for a year. These can also coerce less irritation; fragrances and harsh solvents such as ammonia in some conventional detergents can trigger allergies and asthma and cause skin irritation. And lastly, you will not lose concentration. All of these liquid options are concentrated, so their production and transport uses less energy and packaging.
