Your laundry is KILLING you... and here's how to change that!

Your laundry is KILLING you... and here's how to change that! - OrganicDarlings

My friend, I couldn’t go another day without telling you this… Dryer Sheets and toxic laundry detergents are killing you!

Slowly but surely, these chemical-laden products are affecting your health in a multitude of ways, increasing your risks of:


🔺Respiratory illnesses
🔺Cancer
🔺Endocrine/reproductive disorders
🔺Nerve damage
🔺Extreme environmental risks

& more

There are better ways to get softer and beautiful-smelling laundry!

I’ve got a few options that’ll be WAY better for your laundry:

My Laundry Soap Nuts are such a fun treat: they’re 100% zero-waste, organic, and will cost you basically nothing per load (11 cents a load! What more can you ask for?!)

I’ve also got a few other laundry detergents, always organic and zero-waste. Check them out below :)

My Lavender Dryer Sachets are reusable, and free of all toxic chemicals and synthetic fragrances! Each one will last approximately 35 loads and can be used afterward as a drawer sachet or composted.

The Wool Laundry balls are a really great LONG term option: all I do is put a few drops of essential oils and then drop them in the dryer. It’ll smell so good! Make sure you don’t buy your average essential oil from Walmart though - I listed one above but you can also get Doterra and Young Living from your fave MLM gal :)

Laundry Soap Nuts - $18.00

Check out this shortlist of some popular cleaning ingredients for stain fighting & their known health concerns:

  • Bleach - serious skin & lung damaging concerns

  • Synthetic Fragrance - AKA the new second hand smoke

  • Phthalates – asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, breast cancer, behavioral issues, autism spectrum disorders, and more

  • Acetaldehyde – cancer and reproductive toxicity.

  • Dibutyl Hydroxy Toluene - linked with neurotoxicity, hormone disruption, allergies, and irritation to the skin, eyes, or lungs.

  • Ethyl Acetate – brain and nervous system toxicity.

That’s why I love my Stain Stick! It truly will last you a LONG time, and works really beautifully!

Vegan Stain Stick - $14.00

Remember, as you try to use more safe products in your home, the most important thing is to avoid being stressed out. Stress will hurt you more than most other things :)
