The Laundry Guy’s Favorite Laundry Detergent

If you have been following me for a while now, you know I typically prefer Laundry Soap Flakes over laundry detergent. However, if you prefer detergent, there are so many great options that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and free of harsh chemicals.

One thing I will NOT recommend is Laundry Pods. They often contain microplastics, are very one-size-fits-all all, and quite frankly, it’s a waste of detergent! You don’t need that much detergent for a load of laundry. If you want to know more about why I don’t recommend pods, watch this video.

A tradition that feels right at home. Reminiscent of days gone by and suggestive of wonderful times to come, the aromatic snap of crisp Siberian fir needles, heartening cedarwood and relaxing sandalwood fills the air with a welcome feeling of warmth and joy.
