Stain-removing soap: to get rid of the toughest stains, our stain-removing soap with terre de sommières is magic!
Fabric softener
Many fabric softeners contain non-biodegradable chemicals, such as quaternary ammonium surfactants, which can pollute water and harm aquatic ecosystems. They also often contain synthetic fragrances and other products that can cause irritation or allergies, particularly in people with sensitive skin and children.
Our detergent contains cold-process soap made with Geneva sunflower oil, an effective natural softener. If your water is soft, no additional softener is needed. If your water is hard, simply reduce the lime content (especially calcium and magnesium carbonates) by adding a little white vinegar.
Using white vinegar instead of conventional fabric softener not only makes your clothes softer, it also makes regular maintenance of your washing machine effortless. We recommend adding around 100 to 150 ml of white vinegar to the softener compartment.
White linen
Most laundry detergents contain optical brighteners, and most optical brighteners are synthesized from petrochemical raw materials. This means that although the optical brightener itself is not crude oil, its production relies on petroleum derivatives such as hydrocarbons, which are basic ingredients in many chemical processes. These molecules have little or no biodegradability.
These deposit a UV-reflective film on textiles, making linen appear whiter than it really is…
Our detergent contains no optical brighteners.
To prevent your white laundry from yellowing, we recommend adding a teaspoon of Sodium percarbonate. Percarbonate is a highly effective natural whitener!
Odor
Our detergent has a pleasant scent of Marseille soap and lavender, perfect for a delicate, natural fragrance. For those who prefer a stronger scent, you can add a few drops of lavandin essential oil directly into the washing machine drum with the detergent.
