Why are plant based cleaners better?
Most laundry detergents are made from petroleum based cleaners which use oil, a precious, limited natural resource that will someday be depleted. Our plant based cleaners are made from a renewable resource and therefore save petroleum. What are optical brighteners? Found in most laundry detergents (but of course not ours) these fluorescent chemicals converts ultra-violet light to blue-white light that makes white appear whiter. They don’t readily biodegrade and are often toxic to aquatic life. What are phosphates? Phosphates are used in detergents to soften water. Phosphates can cause algae blooms in lakes and ponds than can lead to suffocation of aquatic plants and animals.
