Bio-D is a leading brand of affordable eco-laundry products, sold in easy-to-recycle bottles made from recycled plastic, made with biodegradable ingredients. Most items are also available in 5 litre and 20 litre drums (use with a reusable pump and tap for easy dispensing).
Choose Fragrance Free if pregnant/nursing, affected medical conditions (like asthma and epilepsy) and laundering baby clothes or pet bedding.
Suitable for all water temperatures (choose at least 60 degrees for washing baby bedding and for weak immune systems). Wash whites/coloured clothes separately. For synthetic fibres, use with a microplastic catcher (or sink filter for hand-washing).
If ordering online, you buy cases, so one purchase should last you around a year. If hand-washing, use with Fair Trade rubber gloves.
Bio-D Washing Powder is sold in brown paper bags, and also comes as 1 litre bottles (25 washes). 5 litres (125 washes). 12.5kg box (212 washes). The 20 litre laundry liquid drum gives 500 washes.
If using scents, it’s also available as:
Oxygen Laundry Bleach is free from chlorine, but can still brighten whites without chemicals. It is activated with warm water. Dissolve 1 tablespoon for every 5 litres of water (or dissolve a little in a jug of warm water, then pour into drum, before adding clothes, adding laundry powder to the drawer). You can also use this with warm water to remove tea/coffee stains on mugs and to clean grout between tiles).
Nappy Fresh is ideal to sanitise reusable nappies, baby clothes and heavily soiled clothes. After tipping baby poo down the loo, then add 1 tablespoon with detergent to wash, or 1 tablespoon to 5 litres of lukewarm water for soaking at least 2 hours, then rinse in cold water.
Wholesalers can order online and receive free marketing materials, and also offer refill stations, so buyers can return to refill their products. Just imagine if all shops, restaurants, schools, offices and commercial cleaning companies switched to this brand.
