favorite laundry detergent??

Hey everyone - what's your favorite non-toxic laundry detergent?!  We're thinking about switching.

Re: favorite laundry detergent??

  • I really like the Honest Company's.

  • I really like Dr. Bronners, as it works for everything. When striping cloth diapers or just to whiten, I would use apple cider vinegar and baking soda.

  • Seventh Generation. And Earth Friendly Products
  • I've had success with Puracy 4x Liquid. 
  • I use soap nuts. I was skeptical at first, but they really do work well. Plus, they're much cheaper than detergent!

  • This stuff is great. You can use ivory or a natural bar soap too.                                          Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap- Front or top load machine- best value

    4  Cups - hot tap water
    1  Fels-Naptha soap bar
    1 Cup - Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda*
    ½ Cup Borax

    - Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.

    -Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.

    -Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel)

    -Optional: You can add 10-15 drops of essential oil per 2 gallons. Add once soap has cooled. Ideas: lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil.

    -Yield: Liquid soap recipe makes 10 gallons.

    -Top Load Machine- 5/8 Cup per load (Approx. 180 loads)

    -Front Load Machines- ¼ Cup per load (Approx. 640 loads)

    *Arm & Hammer "Super Washing Soda" - in some stores or may be purchased online here (at Meijer.com). Baking Soda will not work, nor will Arm & Hammer Detergent - It must be sodium carbonate!!


    •Works well in traditional or HE machines.

    •Low sudsing. It is the ingredients in the soap, not the suds, that does the cleaning.

    •Clumping and geling of the detergent is normal. Stir before putting in dispenser, and shake before each use.


  • I use Method or Nature Clean
