I am not a fan of laundry… at all! But I am a fan of how my laundry smells! This was actually one of the last things that I switched to non toxic solutions because I didn’t realize how harmful our laundry products can be! Here are a couple links you can look at for some information on the toxicity in our laundry:
7 Toxic Chemicals in Laundry Detergent
Is My Laundry Detergent Toxic?
And to top it off, our dryer sheets contribute even more toxicity!
When I do laundry (chemical free now) I use the OnGuard detergent because it works really well and you only need 1 tablespoon! I add a couple drops of purify because it makes clothes smell like they were dried outside and I make up my own softener using epson salts, baking soda and oils! Want my recipe? Here it is:
Laundry Softener
1 (64 oz) bag of pure epson salts (no fragrance)
40 drops lavender
30 drops melaleuca
20 drops lemon
mix well and store in a glass jar. Use 1/2 cup in large loads and 1/4 cup in small loads.
