Clean clothes, no fragrance: Bio-D 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.
