Innovative Eco Friendly Laundry Detergent Alternatives 

Whether you’re looking to go all natural, scientific, or zero waste. There is an amazing toxin free laundry detergent alternative out there for you.

Check em’ out!

Soap Nuts

Soap nuts are a non toxic and totally natural laundry detergent replacement. Using soap nuts cuts down on toxins in your home, and waste on the planet.

Soap nuts can be used for a few washes before being composted. They are great for people with sensitive skin, because they produce a very gentle, natural detergent. You can even get organic soap nuts!

Soap nuts are becoming such an eco friendly innovative laundry detergent option you can get them from multiple vendors. We recommend making sure the product you’re purchasing is certified organic to ensure the best quality possible.

NaturOli soap nuts offers a USDA organic package that comes with a wash bag and extra add ons.

Or you can grab the popular USDA organic Eco Nuts laundry detergent.

They’re a totally natural product so you won’t have to worry about checking any ingredient lists or EWG ratings.

Zero Waste Laundry Detergent Strips

Well Earth Goods created an awesome laundry detergent alternative that’s totally zero waste. Now that’s something we can get behind!

These eco-friendly laundry detergent strips are ultra-concentrated into a tiny pre-measured strip of detergent. All you have to do is toss it in the wash. 

The strips work with all types of washing machines (including HE) and both hot and cold water.

What makes these strips extra cool is their zero waste factor. They have a smaller eco-footprint than liquid and powder detergents. The packaging has less plastic, and the transportation requires less fuel consumption and carbon emissions because the product is so light!

The Well Earth Goods laundry detergent strips are totally free of parabens, phosphate, added dyes, chlorine bleach, 1,4-dioxane and isothiazolinone. Plus, they are biodegradable, hypoallergenic and vegan.

The same company also offers a plastic free laundry stain stick, AND organic wool dryer balls. Count us in!

Dropps

Dropps are regular laundry detergent, but they come in socially responsible packaging.

The Dropps pods may remind you of big box laundry detergent pods you’ve seen. The difference is, Dropps cares about the earth. Dropps individual laundry detergent pods are shipped in completely compostable and recyclable packaging.

Most traditional liquid laundry detergent is packaged in high density polyethylene and ends up landfills. About 68% percent of these types of materials are NOT recycled.

Dropps is an innovative laundry detergent company taking on the battle to end single-use plastic!

Plus, they come in lots of options. 

You can get Dropps laundry detergent pods for:

• Sensitive skin
• Stain & odor remover
• Freshness and scent boosting
• Small loads
• Delicates
• Baby

And Dropps has a similar product for your dishwasher detergent too. You can transform half your house with just one brand!

Wash Wizard

Wash Wizards are an innovative laundry detergent alternative that tackles tough stains without harsh chemicals.

At first glance, Wash Wizard laundry balls really don’t make a whole lot of sense. For people who are used to putting detergent into their washing machine with every load, simply throwing a ball in seems strange.

The Wash Wizard literally uses no detergent. It’s a complete laundry detergent replacement. It lasts for up to 1,000 washes and doesn’t use any harsh chemicals or toxins. It actually cleans your laundry with natural bio-ceramic elements that increase the pH balance to create a natural hydrogen peroxide type of effect that kills bacteria and odors.

Still, for us non chemists, it seems a bit iffy. But if you’re not buying it, check out the reviews! They’re incredible. 

Plus, Wash Wizard has a money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with their innovative laundry detergent alternative.

Literally, who knew laundry detergents could be so exciting? Which one will you be trying first?
