Laundry sure has come a long way from the days of the washboard and tub. We now have computerized washing machines and dryers. Laundry detergent has improved, too. Two of our favorite modern laundry soaps, The Laundress and LeBlanc Linen Wash were featured in Elle Decor this month.
Lindsey Wieber Boyd and Gwen Whiting, co-founders of The Laundress®, created their eco-chic line of specialty detergent and fabric care to take the chore out of doing laundry. The Laundress detergents are highly concentrated, suitable for HE machines and hand-washing, and work in any water temperature. They are family safe, allergen-free, have no toxic fumes and aren’t tested on animals. The detergents use plant-based ingredients, and do not contain chlorine, petroleum products, or artificial color.
LeBlanc Linen Wash is a specially formulated cleaning solution for washing fine linens. The gentle, pH-balanced formula contains no bleach and can be used on all natural fibers, synthetics, and blends. All LeBlanc products are low sudsing and safe for use on HE machines. Their Linen Wash is available in a range of fragrances and special formulas for cleaning towels, lingerie, children’s bedding, and down.
