Natural laundry wash is a safe and eco-friendly alternative made with plant-based ingredients. Our blog explores the benefits of natural laundry washing and provides tips for a more sustainable laundry routine.
Why Say Goodbye to Chemicals?
Did you know chemical-laden laundry detergents negatively affect our health and environment?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), many conventional cleaning products contain harmful chemicals. For example, bleach contains chlorine, which can cause skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation, and prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory problems. Fabric softeners contain quaternary ammonium compounds linked to skin irritations, allergies, and asthma. And laundry detergents contain phosphates, which can pollute our waterways and harm aquatic life. The chemicals in laundry products like bleach, fabric softeners, and detergents can harm children and pets. When we wear clothes washed with these products, the harsh chemicals can be absorbed by the skin and get into the bloodstream, leading to skin irritation, allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues. This is especially concerning for children and pets with more sensitive skin.
Moreover, whenever the phosphates, triclosan, or ammonia present in cleaning products enter our waterways, they pollute them and lead to algal blooms, and are detrimental to marine life.
How to Make the Switch to Safe Laundry Products
Safe laundry products are made from natural ingredients free from harmful chemicals. They are also biodegradable, meaning they break down naturally and don’t harm the environment.

Several studies have suggested that these chemicals may cause adverse health effects. They Become airborne and can be inhaled during the washing and drying process. One such study, published in the journal “Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health” in 2015, found that high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including some that are known or suspected to be harmful to human health, were emitted during the laundry process and could be inhaled by people in the vicinity.
