And how can you tell if it\u2019s just clever marketing or a product that performs well and doesn\u2019t contain harmful additives?<\/p>\n<p>Eco expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jessian\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jessian\">Jessian Choy<\/a>, who works with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sierraclub.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.sierraclub.org\/\">Sierra Club<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/sfenvironment.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/sfenvironment.org\/\">San Francisco Department of Environment<\/a>, recommends seeking out products with minimal ingredients.

D\u2019Auriol recommends powdered or liquid detergent sold in bulk as opposed to single-use disposables. Choy prefers powder since it\u2019s less bulky and heavy.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/eco-friendly-laundry-detergent-sheets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/eco-friendly-laundry-detergent-sheets\/\">laundry sheets<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkart\/2021\/08\/08\/study-says-up-to-75-of-plastics-from-detergent-pods-enter-the-environment-industry-says-they-safely-biodegrade\/?sh=2bda910a796a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jeffkart\/2021\/08\/08\/study-says-up-to-75-of-plastics-from-detergent-pods-enter-the-environment-industry-says-they-safely-biodegrade\/?sh=2bda910a796a\">detergent pods<\/a> can be convenient, they\u2019re not as kind to the environment. \u201cLiquid and powders are both better than laundry pods,\u201d Choy says. \u201cI prefer powder, since liquid is heavier and weighs more to ship around, ultimately creating more climate change.\u201d She adds that an ultra-concentrated formula, which typically comes in a smaller plastic container, can help reduce waste as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Fragrance<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to natural laundry detergents, Choy prefers fragrance-free products to unscented ones. \u201cFragrance-free means zero added fragrance or oils,\u201d she says. \u201cEven something that sounds as innocent as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news-events\/news-releases\/lavender-tea-tree-oils-may-cause-breast-growth-boys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news-events\/news-releases\/lavender-tea-tree-oils-may-cause-breast-growth-boys\">essential oils can cause breast growth in young boys<\/a>.&#8221; This can be especially important to consider if you have allergies or skin sensitivities.<\/p>\n<h3>Environmental criteria<\/h3>\n<p>Ecolabels, which are icons allowing you to see just how sustainable your product is, are another way to identify natural laundry detergents. Look for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/guides\/categories\/9-Laundry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/guides\/categories\/9-Laundry\/\">Environmental Working Group<\/a> (EWG) verified mark and the Safer Choice Standard from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). You can also check for labels that contain words like organic or bio-based, and offerings from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-is-b-corp-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/what-is-b-corp-certification\/\">Certified B Corporations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Packaging<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWhen shopping for an eco-friendly detergent, a plastic-free bottle is better,\u201d Choy says. Plastic isn\u2019t great for the environment, but post-consumer recycled plastic has a smaller carbon footprint. Also keep an eye out for biodegradable packaging and brands that sell refills, which can help minimize waste.<\/p>\n<h2>The best natural detergents<\/h2>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h2 wg-inline-shopable__title mb-[20px]\">Best overall <\/h2>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Dirty+Labs%2C+Signature+Sustainable+Set\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dirty-Labs-Sustainable-Hyper-Concentrated-Biodegradable\/dp\/B0C5P2WBZ3\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dirty-Labs-Sustainable-Hyper-Concentrated-Biodegradable\/dp\/B0C5P2WBZ3\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dirty-labs-detergent_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"dirty labs detergent\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dirty-Labs-Sustainable-Hyper-Concentrated-Biodegradable\/dp\/B0C5P2WBZ3\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Dirty+Labs%2C+Signature+Sustainable+Set\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dirty-Labs-Sustainable-Hyper-Concentrated-Biodegradable\/dp\/B0C5P2WBZ3\"> <\/p>\n<p>Dirty Labs, Signature Sustainable Set \u2014 $44.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my eyes, as convenient and mess-free as sustainable detergent sheets are, nothing beats the effectiveness of a liquid solution.

This Certified B Corp has earned an army of fans for good reason, and the results speak for themselves. Served in minimalist biodegradable packaging with reusable tin canisters, this eco-friendly detergent is plastic-free and void of dyes, harsh chemicals, and bleach. I get that tablet casings aren\u2019t the most sustainable choice, but I wish that the tablets were a bit more durable and less prone to breakage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the tablets were unscented, they left a fresher smell than some of the other unscented alternatives and significantly less residue. The Oxi Laundry Booster that Blueland sells offers an additional light, but beautiful fragrance. The lid of the Oxy Booster canister was designed so that you could pour directly in it for the proper dosage. Overall, it felt just as clean as the results from the commercial laundry pods I previously used, which was impressive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fragrances<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Unscented (Oxi Booster is scented)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-pros\">\n<ul>\n<li>No single-use plastic \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Reusable packaging\/refills available \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>No parabens\/ammonia\/phthalates\/VOCs \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Tablet refills take up less space\/are travel-friendly <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-cons\">\n<ul>\n<li>Contains alcohols, C12-14, Which can be harmful to aquatic life \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Tablets can break during shipment\u2014several crumbled\/were broken in half \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Tablets can be inconsistent, don\u2019t always dissolve as well in cold water <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h2 wg-inline-shopable__title mb-[20px]\">Best scent-free<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Branch+Basics%2C+Laundry+Kit+\" href=\"https:\/\/branchbasics.com\/collections\/all\/products\/laundry-kit?variant=42520645009572\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/branchbasics.com\/collections\/all\/products\/laundry-kit?variant=42520645009572\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/branch-basics-laundry-kit.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"branch basics laundry kit\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/branchbasics.com\/collections\/all\/products\/laundry-kit?variant=42520645009572\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Branch+Basics%2C+Laundry+Kit+\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/branchbasics.com\/collections\/all\/products\/laundry-kit?variant=42520645009572\"> <\/p>\n<p>Branch Basics, Laundry Kit \u2014 $69.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone digs a fragranced product.

Though this detergent may have a higher price tag, it contains around three times more than your average eco-friendly laundry detergent and gets cheaper if you subscribe.

But if you like the idea of a pre-measured squirt or have sensitive skin, it\u2019s worth a try. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Fragrances:<\/strong> Fragrance-free, Rose, Lavender, Mango &amp; Mandarin<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-pros\">\n<ul>\n<li>100-percent plant-based formula \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Mess-free dispenser \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Built-in measuring cup \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Leaping Bunny certified and Certified B Corp <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-cons\">\n<ul>\n<li>Comes in a plastic bottle (still, recycled plastic) \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Minimum of two squirts for maximum cleaning power <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h2 wg-inline-shopable__title mb-[20px]\">Best fragrance <\/h2>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Dedcool%2C+Dedtergent+Milk+\" href=\"https:\/\/dedcool.com\/products\/dedtergent-milk\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/dedcool.com\/products\/dedtergent-milk\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dedcool-dedtergent-milk.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"dedcool dedtergent milk\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/dedcool.com\/products\/dedtergent-milk\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Dedcool%2C+Dedtergent+Milk+\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/dedcool.com\/products\/dedtergent-milk\"> <\/p>\n<p>Dedcool, Dedtergent Milk \u2014 $35.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DedCool really does take after its namesake\u2014this is the coolest detergent brand out there I\u2019ve seen. Served up in a minimalist aluminum tin, Dedtergent Milk can wash up to 60 loads and adds the coziest scent ever to your clothing, bedding, or whatever else you decide to use it on. The 100-percent biodegradable formula comes in four different scents. With luxurious notes like bergamot, incense, and amber, it\u2019s like a linen spray combined with a detergent. Instead of dwindling after it comes out of the dryer, it stuck around for about four days in my drawers with hand and machine-washed clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m partial to gardenias and floral scents, so they sent me their Red Dakota option, which contains bergamot, gardenias, and amber notes. It was love at first whiff when I took the seal off the container. It uses coconut-derived surfactants to wash any garment (including delicates), and the smell left behind is soft and comforting. Whether you\u2019re looking to splurge on a fancy detergent or gift it to a friend (refills cost $50), this environmentally conscious detergent that performs as great as it smells is worth a shot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fragrances<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Dedtergent Milk, Taunt, Red Dakota, Spring<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-pros\">\n<ul>\n<li>Transparent and minimal ingredient list \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>No other scents like it on the market \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Comes in a reusable tin and refills available <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-cons\">\n<ul>\n<li>Lid doesn\u2019t have a built-in measuring cup \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Not ideal for scent-sensitive folks\/no unscented options <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h2 wg-inline-shopable__title mb-[20px]\">Best laundry detergent sheets<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Earth+Breeze%2C+Laundry+Detergent+Sheets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Earth-Breeze-Fresh-Laundry-Sheets\/dp\/B08GF7YGCD\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Earth-Breeze-Fresh-Laundry-Sheets\/dp\/B08GF7YGCD\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/earth-breeze-laundry-sheets_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"earth breeze laundry sheets\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Earth-Breeze-Fresh-Laundry-Sheets\/dp\/B08GF7YGCD\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Earth+Breeze%2C+Laundry+Detergent+Sheets\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Earth-Breeze-Fresh-Laundry-Sheets\/dp\/B08GF7YGCD\"> <\/p>\n<p>Earth Breeze, Laundry Detergent Sheets \u2014 $13.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detergent sheets are compact, you don\u2019t have to deal with leaks, and they still get the job done. That said, not all laundry sheets are equal. Some of the samples I was sent left behind a residue, leaving me on the fence about whether they were performing optimally. However, Earth Breeze\u2019s cellulose detergent sheets cleaned powerfully and dissolved well in the machine, so it\u2019s no wonder they\u2019re a bestseller and have almost 60,000 glowing reviews on Amazon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Earth Breeze sells a non-fragranced version, they sent me their scented one, which was lightly floral and refreshing without being overwhelming. I walk dogs part-time, and although the detergent cleaned all the hair and dirt off my garments, it didn\u2019t leave behind a scent on the super stinky clothing items. Unlike some of the other laundry sheets I tested, the sheets dissolved without a hitch. It was the only non-liquid that gave clothes a clean feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fragrances<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fresh Scent, fragrance-free<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-pros\">\n<ul>\n<li>100 percent hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Mess-free alternative to liquid detergent \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Compact and lightweight \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Simple to use \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Customizable due to perforated sheets <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-shopable-cons\">\n<ul>\n<li>Scent doesn\u2019t last long on extremely soiled clothes \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Not as eco-conscious as liquid\/powder \u00a0 <\/li>\n<li>Only comes with 30 sheets <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h2 wg-inline-shopable__title mb-[20px]\">Best stain remover<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Tide%2C+Purclean+Natural+Laundry+Detergent+\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tide-Purclean-Plant-based-Detergent-Compatible\/dp\/B084WB42BD\/\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tide-Purclean-Plant-based-Detergent-Compatible\/dp\/B084WB42BD\/\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tide-purclean-plant-based-epa-safe-natural-laundry-detergent_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"tide purclean plant-based epa safe natural laundry detergent\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tide-Purclean-Plant-based-Detergent-Compatible\/dp\/B084WB42BD\/\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Tide%2C+Purclean+Natural+Laundry+Detergent+\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tide-Purclean-Plant-based-Detergent-Compatible\/dp\/B084WB42BD\/\"> <\/p>\n<p>Tide, Purclean Natural Laundry Detergent \u2014 $19.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tide has been the faithful laundry sidekick of folks for years, and they decided to reduce their environmental impact with Tide Purclean.
