Lovett Sundries Unscented Laundry Powder 45LB Bucket


$274.95

Let me change the way you do laundry forever.

Last year I decided to try to eliminate as much single use plastic from our home as possible. I grew up with powdered laundry detergent, so I thought that would be an easy swap instead of pods or bottles of liquid. I looked in every single supermarket on the Outer Cape and found not a single powdered option. Zip. Nada. So when I came across Lovett Sundries laundry soap, I talked with Jeff Lovett, the creator, I was immediately interested.

Jeff uses simple, effective ingredients and nothing else in his recipe which he makes himself. It's just baking soda, borax and coconut soap, which is made up of RSPO Certified sustainable and Orangutan safe coconut oil, filtered water, and lye.

No perfumes, no tetrahexylpoly blah blah blech. You use 2 standard tablespoons per load (3 if it's really a mess). Most importantly, this stuff works. We tested it on all our various types of clothing - sheets/towels, dog stuff, jeans and gym clothing, and regular tees and shirts and underwear. Everything came out great - nice and clean, no problem at all. No residue in the machine or on clothing. No perfumey smell. Just CLEAN. I put it directly into the machine along with standard baking soda (which we used with liquid too). 

I'm happy to trade the convenience of the microplastic coated pods (that may dissolve in the wash but are environmentally persistent like all microplastic) for the knowledge that my laundry is not contributing to the plastic disaster all around us.

45LBs translates to approximately 816 washes at 2TBS each, and 33 cents per wash - completely competitive with microplastic covered pods. Plus, one bucket will last you 4-6 years, so no more trips to the supermarket! Note that the only way to package 45lbs of powdered detergent is in a heavy duty plastic bucket, but it's the type of Home Depot style bucket that will always find other uses around the house when you eventually empty it out.

Plastic free is a good thing. Clean laundry is even better.
