We’ve already mentioned how companies greenwash their products and make us think they have natural ingredients when they still contain fragrance, dyes, triclosan or other endocrine disruptors, and synthetic ingredients. This is true for dish and laundry soap too!
Since these two products are ones that we come in contact with every single day, making a shift to a natural, low-tox product can have a huge impact when it comes to reducing your overall toxic load!
Another thing to note is that alllll those bubbles in your sink (or washing machine!!!) aren’t actually cleaning your dishes any better. It is a trick called ‘pharmaceutical elegance’ that acts as a visual cue to your brain to make you think you’re getting a really clean sink of dishes. In reality, it doesn’t make a difference.
All you need are natural, plant-based surfactants. Surfactants (natural or synthetic) are added to soap to break down the surface tension between the water you’re using to wash and the grease or oil on your dishes or clothing.
Enter Thieves Dish Soap & Thieves Laundry Soap!!
Thieves Dish Soap is a cleaning powerhouse that is free of the typical sulfates, dyes, and synthetics found in many dish soaps, and the plant-based formula leaves no harsh chemical residues – on your dishes or on your skin. Plus, a little goes a long way, and this bottle can up your cleaning game in the rest of the house too!
PS – Thieves Dish Soap is also a laundry-room favorite for fighting stains! Just dab a little on a stain, gently scrub with a laundry brush, and wash as normal!
Speaking of the laundry room…
Did you know that conventional laundry soap is a leading cause of skin allergies and irritation – especially in children? We don’t often think about it, but the residues left on clothes and linens from conventional cleaners sit on our skin, often causing low-level irritation.
Plus, almost all conventional laundry options contain optical brighteners! Optical brighteners give clothing the appearance of being clean by reflecting blue light – giving the illusion of whiter-looking fabrics. The design of these chemicals is to absorb directly into fabrics and remain on clothes well after washing.
No thanks.
When it comes to washing our clothing and linens, Thieves Laundry Soap is hands-down our favorite. Safe, effective, eco-friendly and economical cleaning with the power of plants? Sign us up!
