Your laundry room might be the last place you think to detox, but if you’re still using those bright bottles from the supermarket, it’s time to reconsider what’s really lingering in your clean clothes.
The hidden dangers of conventional Laundry Products… Supermarket detergents and softeners promise bright whites and cozy softness—but they often come with a hidden price. Let’s break down what’s in those traditional formulas and why it matters:
– Surfactants
These are the cleaning agents that help lift dirt and stains.
→ The problem? Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) can irritate your skin, leaving it dry and sensitive. SLES may even be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a probable human carcinogen.
The better way? Plant-based surfactants like coco glucoside or decyl glucoside offer the same cleaning power without the harmful side effects.
– Builders
Builders keep water soft and clothes fresh.
→ The problem? Phosphates can harm waterways and aquatic life, while EDTA—often used as a synthetic alternative—can persist in the environment and prove toxic to animals.
The better way? Gentle, plant-based builders like sodium carbonate, bicarbonate, or citric acid are safer for your home and the planet.
– Bleach
Whiter whites shouldn’t come at the expense of your health.
→ The problem? Chlorine bleach can irritate your skin, eyes, and lungs—and its byproducts are known to be toxic.
The better way? Chlorine-free bleach or natural whiteners like sodium carbonate or hydrogen peroxide get the job done—without the harsh effects.
– Other Harmful Additions
Formaldehyde: A known carcinogen used to preserve products, it can also cause irritation.
→ Synthetic fragrances: These often contain hidden allergens and endocrine disruptors like phthalates.
Dyes & Optical Brighteners: Linked to skin irritation and environmental harm, these are more about marketing than actual cleaning.
So… what’s left to trust?
