Bio-D fragrance-free laundry liquid

Bio-D fragrance free laundry liquid is the brand you’re most likely to find in health shops and farm shops, sold with refills and bulk options.

You can also buy this as laundry powder in brown paper bags. Also in larger 1kg bags.

Choose unscented laundry powder/liquid for pregnancy/nursing, and for baby clothes/bedding and pet bedding. Launder synthetic fabrics in microfiber filter (or hand-washing in sink filters)

For stains, use natural oxygen bleach (never mix any bleach with vinegar). You don’t need fabric conditioner (it usually has palm oil and makes clothing flammable when tumble-dried).

Instead, add half a cup of cleaning vinegar to the rinse cycle (or half a cup of bicarbonate-of-soda to the wash cycle.

Where to recycle toxic laundry products

You can recycle empty bottles at kerbside. For products leftover, don’t pour down drains, take them to your council’s hazardous waste department.
