I have done more loads of laundry then I care to count. As a mom of two, laundry is just part of my life. I try and keep things as natural as possible in our house and usually use that “free and clear” type laundry detergent. I had no idea the amount of chemicals that are still present in these detergents. They aren’t good for our skin and are definitely not good for the environment. It wasn’t like I was consciously choosing to do something detrimental to the environment, I just really did not know.
In our search for an alternative to the traditional brads of detergent, I cam across Molly’s Suds. This company strives to make products that are good for people and the environment. Their website states:
-
Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder was formulated with a “no compromise” attitude and we only use the purest of ingredients. Our products and suppliers are Certified Cruelty Free by Leaping Bunny and our ingredien ts are Certified Vegan.
While there is sodium carbonate in our powder, it is not Super Washing Soda which has contaminants and is not pure without fillers. We use a sustainable trona source located in the Green River Basin in Wyoming. Our sodium carbonate is safe for use in medicinal and food ingredients.
Most detergent companies use sodium carbonates that are synthetically processed with trona, glass and man-made chemicals and sold for laundry and industrial use. It is harsh, unclean and cheap.
Our powder is phthalate and fragrance free but we do use wild crafted organic peppermint oil as a fresh take on scent! It is safe for use in food preparation and only a very small amount is used per large batch. The powder can be ordered without the oil if desired.
Our sea salt and epsom salts are triple filtered in the USA and certified contaminant free, both certified safe for use in organic formulations. Our baking soda is aluminum free and also food grade.
We gave Molly’s Suds a shot and I have to say I was happy with the results. Our laundry came out clean and ready to wear. The powdered detergent worked fine in our HE washer. I didn’t notice a difference between our old detergent and Molly’s Suds! It was an easy switch and one I’m glad I can make for myself, my family and my planet.
About The Molly’s Suds Company
The company came about in a very unexpected way. Founder Monica Leonard’s daughter, Molly was born in 2005, but she never took a breath. As a pediatric nurse and mother to three other healthy children, this was a tragedy and shock. Seeking a cause, Leonard uncovered disturbing facts about chemicals approved for use yet untested for safety by the U.S. government. The decision was made to create Laundry Powder and other household products that are safe for people and the environment. Molly’s little footprints are on the company’s website and packaging to remind customers that Molly’s Suds products are safe for even the tiniest family member.
