Delphis Commercial Eco Laundry Powder

Delphis Eco Laundry Powder (also in a commercial use version) is formulated to give incredible results, working out at just 30p per wash. The powerful cleaning action is tough on heavy stains, but gentle on fabrics, leaving laundry with a pleasant aroma.

Choose unscented laundry detergents if pregnant/nursing and for baby/pet bedding (use higher temperatures for weak immunity and oxygen bleach for stains. Use a microfiber filter, for synthetic fabrics. 

You can bin empty containers of chemical laundry liquids (don’t rinse). For half-full items, take them to hazardous waste at the refuse centre.

Most ‘biodegradable laundry sheets’ contain PVA (plastic polyvinyl alcohol) that still leaches up to 40% plastic into the sea (one expert says to trust such items, she would want to know the precise times and temperatures which can’t be promised).
