Green City Living Co. eco home

Laundry is essential but can be very toxic for the environment. From detergents, bleach products, dryer sheets, and more, it seems like the toxic chemicals are getting a little too close to home for our comfort. We should know what we're putting onto our clothes because it ends up resting on our skin. That can't be good! Odds are that if these products are not safe for human consumption or our skin, its probably not safe for the environment as well.

Shop Our Wool Dryer Balls!

 

Here is the ULTIMATE Eco-Friendly Laundry Guide:

1. Keep your laundry routine simple.

2. It's easy to fall for these big companies marketing tactics. Try to steer clear of their marketing strategies and take the non-toxic route instead!

3. Do laundry less often and make sure your loads are full. 

4. Invest in an energy-efficient laundry machine

5. Choose an eco-friendly detergent or try out our homemade laundry detergent recipe!

 

6. Use wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets

7. Air-dry your clothes with a drying rack or utilize any furniture you already have. 

8. Wash clothes in cold water. You may want to wash your bed sheets in hot water but most clothes are actually better off being washed in cold water. This will make your clothes last much longer by preventing shrinking and colours fading.

9. Ditch bleach & other toxic products like bleach, fabric softeners, fragrance beads, and more. 

10. Create or buy a natural stain remover.
