My Toxin + Chemical Free Laundry Regime
Toxins and chemicals have been linked to infertility, autoimmune disease, anxiety, asthma, thyroid disorders, cancer, learning disabilities, autism, thyroid disorders, and so much more. Scary enough, traditional laundry products are filled with them.
When you think about the fact you wear clothes every single day, it makes you start to realize what you wash your clothes in is pretty crucial in your health and wellness. If you are washing your clothes with a chemical and toxin filled detergent, is that REALLY cleaning?
The confusing thing is that some cleaner options still can cause skin irritations in some people, especially in infants. So make sure to find a clean detergent that works well with your family and their skin.
Here is my clean laundry regime!
I wash our clothes in Branch Basics concentrate and use the Oxy Boost if needed. We have also used the ECO Egg in the past and it worked great, but we are currently using the Branch Basics.
Then I use Organic Wool Dryer Balls to replace dryer sheets. You can also add essential oils to these! We don’t because we have a newborn, but eventually we will start adding oils again as he gets older.
Clean the washing machine with detox tablets once a month.
So simple!
If you choose not to use a steamer or an iron (I LOVE OUR STEAMER) you can always find chemical and fragrance free wrinkle release sprays. I found this one online and it looks like a great option. Otherwise, I have used this spray in the past. It does work very well! However it does have fragrance, so I would not use it on my son’s clothes.
This is such a simple way to cut chemicals out of your every day life!
