Natural detergents to keep your clothes, and your conscience, clean
Usually our choice of detergent is based on the one that manages to deal with the toughest of stains, with a pleasant lingering fragrance being a bonus! TV commercials convince us to purchase conventional soaps promising spotless white clothes even with a single machine wash. But what they don’t tell us is the amount of chemicals that go into it. So everytime we use a chemically made detergent, it leaves a residue on our clothes that our skin tends to absorb. While the remnant water goes on to affect aquatic eco-system and water bodies. But did you know that the same clean and perfumed clothes can be achieved with a more responsible laundry routine?
Read on to check out the list of naturally made detergents that provide good results while being kind to our bodies and environment at the same time.
Pure Cult
Pure cult’s detergent is not only eco-friendly but also cruelty free. Infused with Geranium and Lavender essential oil, the product promises to be kind to your skin while also smelling wonderful. Surfactants are generally considered as the villain ingredient in any detergent, but in this one it is eco-friendly along with a 5-enzyme formula that fights stains.
Price: Rs.499
The Better Home
The Better Home offers a detergent that is purposely designed to create less foam. This way the amount of water consumed is cut to less than half. It has a colour-protect formula and zero artificial brighteners so that your clothes remain in their natural best for as long as possible. Since there are no harsh chemicals used in this product, the clothes tend to last longer too. In terms of fragrance, it has a pleasant citrus one.
