Environmentally Friendly Laundry Detergent That Works

I have been exclusively using one brand of environmentally friendly laundry detergent for the last two years: Molly’s Suds. Their products not only work, but they are designed to be benign to the environment AND our health. What a concept!

A year and a half ago I had just moved to Los Angeles and I spoke at a conference for green and health minded bloggers called ShiftCon. The conference is all about online influencers shifting the conversation towards a saner, healthier economy (and I’m now on their board!). As part of this conference, there were some new brands exhibiting, and I met the team at Molly’s Suds.

Let’s get one thing straight, this laundry detergent WORKS! Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder works on everything from my hot yoga gear (which needs a DEEP clean) to my most delicate work shirts. They skip commonly used harmful ingredients like NPEs and solvents that are bad for the environment and our health. The formula is HE friendly and a little goes a long way, creating great value for us as consumers (the Laundry Powder bag lasts forever!).

A few months ago, the team at Molly’s Suds sent me their newer Oxygen Whitener. This powder can be used in the washing machine with your laundry powder, or it can be used in the bathtub as a pre-wash soak. If you want really white whites, I suggest the pre-soak option.

They also have a laundry detergent specially formulated for athletic gear: All Sport Liquid Laundry Wash. This liquid formula works wonders, especially on synthetic materials like performance gear. I will also add that I still primarily use their traditional laundry powder for my hot yoga clothes and mat since it’s so effective.

Finally, they also have Wool Dryer Balls (set of 3) which are great for speeding up dry time (aka using less energy and saving you money!).

In a new economy, companies such as Molly’s Suds need our support. I believe that consumer purchasing behavior can drastically move the market in a direction that ultimately protects our health and the environment.
