Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic laundry?
1. Fragrance (biggest - stays on clothes) 2. Optical brighteners 3. Fabric softener residue 4. Dryer sheet chemicals
What ingredients should I avoid in laundry?
Scent boosters, fabric softeners, scented dryer sheets, 'fresh linen' claims
How do I care for non-toxic laundry?
Wool dryer balls last 1,000+ loads and reduce drying time. Use less detergent than recommended — most people use too much. Washing in cold water is gentler on fabrics and reduces chemical release from dyes.
What greenwashing should I watch for with laundry?
"Free & clear" from mainstream brands is better but still may contain optical brighteners. "Plant-based" detergent can still be heavily fragranced. Laundry pods are hard to evaluate because ingredients are sealed inside.
