Optimizing Your Laundry Game with EcoGeek

Clean Clothes, Happy Earth, Happier You. | By Kelly McGilvery

Laundry has been such a headache in my life that I used to buy more socks rather than toss the dirty ones in the washer. So I’ve been looking for ways to make laundry less of a chore, and found a solution by getting my clothes and linens cleaned more easily with EcoGeek laundry products. When we switched to EcoGeek at my house, laundry went from being a tedious task that seemed like an assault on the senses to becoming something easy and contemplative that I look forward to doing each week. As a bonus, the products are eco-friendly, made from simple, gentle ingredients, and all profits go to benefit coral reef restoration.

Laundry Powder Detergent

A popular starting point is Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Powder by Meliora. It’s mess-free, easy to use, and simple to store. Available in lemon, peppermint, or unscented varieties. The highly concentrated formula means that each container provides enough detergent for either 128 high-efficiency loads or 64 regular loads of laundry.

Laundry Detergent Sheets

Our most minimal laundry detergent option is the Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Sheets by Sheets Laundry Club. Just pop one sheet in the washing machine before you load your laundry and let the magic happen. If you need less detergent, simply use half a sheet; if you need more for an especially large load, use two sheets. The gentle non-toxic formula is available in fresh linen scent and unscented. Each box contains 50 sheets.

Soap Stick Laundry Stain Remover

For handling spills and other stains, our Eco-friendly Stain Remover by Meliora seems deceptively simple but it simply works well. The non-toxic soap stick is unscented, easy to use, and will not dry out. Wet the stain, rub the soap stick over it until it creates a lather, and toss in with your laundry.

Oxygen Brightener Bleach Alternative

To ensure your whites are brighty-whitey, without dealing with harmful smells or ingredients, try Eco-friendly Laundry Bleach Alternative by Meliora. It’s a non-toxic, highly concentrated and effective bleach alternative. Made from simple natural ingredients, the powder is unscented and easy to use. Comes in an easy to store cardboard canister. 

Dryer Sheets

Have your clothes at their best when they come out of the dryer: wrinkle-free without static cling. Toss in one of these Eco-friendly Dryer Sheets from Sheets Laundry Club to make sure your clothes are soft and ready to fold (or wear). These non-toxic, no-shed, plant based dryer sheets are even compostable. Available in linen scent or unscented. Each box contains 40 sheets.

Alpaca Dryer Balls 3-Pack

If dryer sheets aren’t your thing, another sustainable option for softening your clothes in the dryer and keeping away wrinkles is Alpaca Dryer Balls from Green Llama. Made from hypoallergenic alpaca wool, these dryer balls - reusable up to 1000 loads - bounce around during your dryer cycle, adding to the animation and hypnotic experience of watching your clothes go around and around as they dry.
