1. Molly's Suds Powder Detergent Made in the USA with clean ingredients. I buy unscented but there are scented choices.
2. Seventh Generation Free & Clear Detergent I have this for when I feel like using a liquid. The easy auto dosing squeeze makes it a breeze.
3. Stain Removal
With three boys, stain removal is a must! I make my own using just three ingredients. I mix a paste in a bowl, put on with a toothbrush, let sit for 5 min-24 hours and wash as usual. This works like a charm!
Relative Foods Baking Soda, family and veteran-owned. Also approved for organic cooking!
Mom hack: Set aside stained items and mix a bigger batch of stain removal before you start the first load of laundry. Apply to all stains. Rinse the dish and toothbrush out in the washer when it's running. Then run the stained items through on the last load of laundry for that day.
If making your own stain remover isn't for you, I found this #1 bestseller that has thousands of positive reviews and works in just 15 minutes. I've used Puracy's other products and they are free from harsh chemicals. Let me know how it works!
4. Dryer Balls These will shorten dryer time and soften clothes, completely replacing dryer sheets. This is a one time cost that will last you many years.
Wherever you are in your journey these are easy swaps you can make today to make your home and family healthier. Comment your favorite laundry hack or non-toxic product, I'd love to hear from you!
