Simple Ways to Make your Laundry Eco-friendly at Home

Laundry doesn't have to be complicated or harmful to the planet.  Small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference for the environment, your health and your wallet.  Here are 5 simple ways to make your laundry eco-friendly while keeping your clothes fresh and soft.

1. Switch to plastic free detergent sheets 

traditional liquid detergents come in bulky plastic bottles - and sometimes can contain harsh chemicals.  ECOZHEn sheets are plastic-free, vegan and hypoallergenic.  They dissolve completely in water, leaving your clothes clean without harming the planet.  

2. Wash in cooler water temperatures

Hot water isn't always necessary.  Modern washing machines and detergents like ECOZHEN, work effectively in cold water.  This saves energy, reduces your carbon footprint and prevents unnecessary wear on your clothes.  

3. Measure - don't pour!

Many people use more detergent that necessary.  With ECOZHEN sheets, dosing is simple half a sheet per standard load.  This not only protects your fabrics but also avoids excess chemicals going down the drain or clinging to your clothes.  

4.  Skip the Fabric Softener bottles

Liquid fabric softeners are often packed in single-use plastic and contain chemicals that can irritate skin.  Use ECOZHEN sheets for gentle softness or natural alternatives like white vinegar to keep clothes soft and fresh.  

5. Air Dry Whenever Possible

Skip the dryer when you can.  Air-drying saves energy, extends the life of your clothes and reduces your household carbon footprint.  Bonus: hang clothes outside for a natural fresh scent.
