Clean clothes, no fragrance: Bio-D laundry liquid

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 as laundry powder in brown paper bags. Also in larger 1kg bags.

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

For stains, use natural oxygen bleach (never mix 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 rinse cycle (or half a cup of bicarbonate-of-soda to wash cycle.

Why choose fragrance-free laundry liquid?

Walk down the laundry aisle and you’ll find detergents in a huge range of scents. From floral fragrances to fresh linen and citrus, heavily scented products are everywhere.

But fragrance isn’t essential for getting clothes clean. Its main purpose is to leave a particular smell behind after washing.

Choosing a fragrance-free laundry liquid can therefore be a way of simplifying your routine. Instead of masking odours with perfume, the focus is simply on cleaning your clothes.

Why choose fragrance-free laundry liquid?

The simplest reason to choose fragrance-free laundry is personal preference. Some people love scented detergent. Others find it overwhelming.

A fragrance-free laundry liquid removes that choice from the equation and lets clean fabric speak for itself. This can be especially appealing when washing bedding, towels and clothing that is worn close to the skin. There is also something calming about a home without competing fragrances.

It’s also safer for baby and pet bedding, and for pregnant/nursing women.

Clean does not have to mean perfumed

One of the biggest misconceptions about laundry is that strong fragrance equals cleanliness. It does not.

Fragrance changes how clothes smell. It does not automatically determine how effectively dirt and grime have been removed. A garment can be perfectly clean without smelling like lavender, citrus, flowers or freshly cut grass.

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.
