Low Waste Laundry

Laundry is something that is quite a big part of low impact, for me anyway, and it took me a little while to find options. I have used Ecover since the early 2000s ish, but since then we have found more Eco friendly products to use. In this blog post I will talk about my favourite brands and things to take the extra step for the environment when doing your laundry.

One of my favourite company's to buy laundry liquid from is Mulieres they have a home compostable outer and then you can recycle the plastic innards. a very eco friendly option that you can buy very easily on whole foods website or on https://www.mulieres.eu/en/.

Next in our house we love the Bio D washing powder. It comes straight in a paper bag and is really affordable, a lot of other brands can get quite pricey, so this is a good alternative.

Another one I love is also Bio D's, laundry liquid and fabric softener. they do come in plastic but if you don't like the laundry powder and you need a cheaper alternative then this is a good one.

A Cora ball is really good product we use to catch micro plastics that come of our synthetic clothes, you can put it in your washing machine when you wash synthetic clothes, blanket ext. (Synthetic fabrics include nylon, polyester, viscose and a lot more.) Another product to catch micro plastics is a guppy bag/friend, that you put your clothes into to wash, and it grabs all the micro plastics and stop them going into our water cycle.

Also washing your clothes on a cold wash and not tumble drying are also good tips to help our planet.
