The best way to green my laundry is skip the commercial fabric softener! Use PVC-free dryer balls and/or vinegar in your rinse.
ReplyDeleteOnly use powder detergent in recyclable containers.
ReplyDeleteI only use biodegradable detergents that are free of additives like enzymes, whiteners, brighteners, and all the other junk that is not needed. If we need a softener we use viniger in the rinse cycle. We only wash using cold water, saves alot of energy! We hang dry our clothes most of the time unless it is towels or something, and we use handmade wool dryerballs made of 100% wool in the dryer. For stain fighting usually baking soda and vinigar or borax! Sometimes I do use Yoreganics stain remover they're ecofriendly. Our main detergent is Soap nuts, a natural detergent!
ReplyDeleteWe use cloth diapers and we hand wash them in our bathtub to save energy, and of course hang drying them. Any more tips you can think of for me because I'm not sure how much more green our laundry routine can get! lol

I typically use the product rocking green to help with whitening. Soap nuts for wash, and vinegar for a softener.
ReplyDeleteNo dryer sheets, use dryer balls instead. Better yet, hang your laundry out to dry.
