Finding natural laundry detergents worth using can be overwhelming, especially because laundry detergent is such an essential part of everyday living. Now a days, our cleaning products are inundated with harsh chemicals that are not only terrible for the environment, but are also terrible for our overall health. Things like phosphates, fragrance, chlorine bleach, formaldehyde , and dyes are being thrown into our clothing products through the essential function of a good wash.
Trying to sift through every company’s ingredient lists and finding natural laundry detergents that fits the budget and makes you feel good using it can be a daunting task. I’ve compiled a list of some of the best laundry natural laundry detergents out there for you to try. I’m sure you will find one that not only fits the budget, but helps you take one more step towards a healthier and simpler life.
