It was very important to me, from the beginning, to switch to a healthier laundry detergent. We've got eczema issues in our home, and I wanted to see if washing our clothes and other fabrics in something less harsh would make a difference.
I attempted to make my own laundry detergent using various recipes I found online. I tried a liquid detergent, a powder, and even that "whipped" recipe that was passed around on Facebook awhile ago. I was, I'm sad to say, less than impressed. The clothes still seemed dingy, and all these recipes left stains on my clothes! Talk about a disappointment! I finally realized that these homemade varieties weren't cutting it for our family, so I ventured out and bought a bottle of The Honest Company's laundry detergent. While it didn't stain our clothes, it still wasn't working as well as I had hoped. I kept reading from other health bloggers about a company called Molly's Suds that makes a detergent free of parabens, phosphates, and other harsh chemicals.
Finally, after hearing lots of praise for this product, I ordered a 70-load pack. It has lasted us for a few months, since you usually use only 1-2 tablespoons per load. This was FINALLY the product I was looking for! The clothes were getting clean, the detergent wasn't leaving stains, and the lack of harsh chemicals (from all the different detergents I tried) was having a positive effect on our skin. This is definitely our go-to detergent, and I have finally reached the bottom and am ready to order again!
Lucky for me (and you), Molly's Suds is having a promotion right now for Mother's Day! You can get 20% off your order from May 8-11 by using the coupon code "lovemom." You can check out their website and all their products here.
