Eco-friendly laundry products you'll love!
If froth and foam spewing lakes, which are sometimes on fire, give you reasons to worry—don’t just blame the industries and authorities. One of the most important causes of water body pollution is a common household item—your laundry detergent.
Toxins in your regular detergent
Commercially available laundry detergents are a deadly cocktail of toxic chemicals.
They contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate & Sodium Laureth Sulfate/ Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLS/ SLES), Phosphates, Formaldehyde, Chlorine Bleach, and Ammonium Quaternary Sanitizers, among others.
With these, you are exposing yourself to a higher risk of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, lung and kidney malfunctions, osteoporosis, allergies, and inflammation of the skin and eyes.
Here are a few available eco-friendly alternatives that you can easily adopt and keep your family and the environment healthy.
1. Chemical Free Stain Fighting Laundry Powder
A natural and probiotic-based laundry powder, that’s gentle and safe. Removes bad odour and is tough on stains and dirt.
2. Plant-Based Natural Liquid Laundry Wash
This ‘safe-for-the-skin’ laundry liquid is hand-made. It uses Coconut oil, Rice bran oil, Castor oil, Palm oil, Water, Salt and other plant-based surfactants.
3. Eco-Friendly Laundry Fragrance Booster
