of These Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergents
Kind Laundry
Be kind to the planet and to your laundry with these zero-waste laundry detergent sheets. Made with biodegradable plant-based ingredients, these sheets have no harsh chemicals for a gentler alternative to big-box detergents. In fact, they only contains four total ingredients.
The 100 percent recyclable packaging also makes it an ideal choice for sustainability, and the small box the sheets come in is great for tight storage spaces. To use it, simply add one easily-dissolvable sheet to your load of laundry.
Tru Earth
Another eco-friendly laundry detergent strip option is the ultra-concentrated Tru Earth eco-strips. Available in a fresh linen scent or fragrance-free, these convenient strips are pre-measured so you can just toss them in and wash.
They arrive in a zero-waste envelope and the strips are also biodegradable, made from vegan ingredients with no parabens or phosphates. The brand says, “its light weight reduces transportation fuel consumption and global-warming carbon emissions by 94 percent compared to today’s leading-brand liquid and powder detergent.”
Zum
If you prefer to use a traditional liquid soap over a strip of solid detergent, Zum Laundry Soap is a great eco-friendly option. It contains a mix of gentle, plant-based ingredients and is packed with essential oils. There’s no parabens, phosphates, petrochemicals, cocamidopropyl betaine, or sulfates, and it’s not tested on animals.
The soap is low-sudsing, highly concentrated and ideal for highefficiency machines.
Iconic Thoughts
It’s available in ocean breeze scent—which is the variety we tested at ICONIC LIFE—or fragrance-free for the most sensitive skin. It left our laundry smelling and feeling exactly how we like it—clean.
ICONIC THOUGHTS
We tried out the fresh linen scent and felt that it did a good job of getting our clothes clean without leaving behind fragrance.
Iconic Thoughts
We tested out the Frankincense & Myrrh scent—it also comes in patchouli, lavender and sea-salt scents—and it was extremely fragrant, but it does an excellent job of cleaning dirty laundry.
