Greenwashed/Cleanwashed Laundry Detergent Swaps

Have you ever walked past someone's house and you can smell the laundry exhaust!? I literally have to hold my breath because it is so strong>>>It is easy to fall for “green” or “clean” Laundry products based on common words that are used such as: UNSCENTED, SENSITIVE, PLANT-BASED, FREE & CLEAR, and FRAGRANCE-FREE. Despite those marketing words, it does not automatically mean that the product is safe! Who would have thought, right? Included in this section, are products that are ACTUALLY clean & natural laundry detergent SWAPS for brands such as (Ecos, Ever Spring, Seventh Generation, Mrs. Meyer's, Biokleen, and Method). Pretty surprising, I know!

Common Household Cleaning Swaps

I'm really going to shock you with this one>> A study in 2018 revealed that INHALING common cleaning products-i.e. “Lysol, Comet, Scrubbing Bubbles, Clorox, Windex” can be just as damaging as SMOKING a 20 pack of cigarettes a day?! There was also a test conducted to compare conventional and “gr...
