BDS All Natural Laundry Soap

You're using our laundry soap to keep the nasty chemicals off your skin, but have you considered what chemicals your clothes can carry? Commercial laundry detergents contain chemicals such as optical brighteners that bind to your clothing. These chemicals then come in contact with your skin and can cause irritation.

BDS Laundry Soap is simply made with the finest material at are available. It doesn't contain any nasty, unwanted chemicals and is not designed to bind to your clothing. This makes it a wonderful alternative to store bought laundry detergents that can be irritating to the skin and bad for the environment.

We have many customers using this soap on cloth diapers with great results. Please note that this BDS Laundry Soap will not "suds" like store-bought laundry detergent. It will still get your clothes clean, and is better for your washing machine, especially high efficiency (HE) washers.

These directions are also found on the packaging for your reference.

High Efficiency Machines: Use  up to 1 Tbsp
You can use an extra Tbsp for particularly dirty laundry
OK to use in hot or cold water

Recommended:
Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup white vinegar in the rinse cycle (fabric softener dispenser) to soften and brighten clothes.

Optional:
Use up to 1 cup hydrogen peroxide as a whitener instead of bleach.

Most people put BDS Laundry Soap directly in with their clothes, but if the load is very full, it may not all dissolve.

Notes on Septic System

Septic experts generally tell people to avoid using powdered laundry soap for two reasons:
1. too much is often used and does not dissolve properly
2. many 'bargain' powders have large amounts of non-biodegradable fillers such as clay which will clog the pores in the soil in your drain field.

Now the good news... your BDS Laundry Soap requires a small amount of powder per load, so it easily dissolves completely even in high efficiency washers that use far less water. Also, we do not add any such fillers that will lead to premature septic failure. So you can continue to use and recommend the BDS Laundry Soap that you've come to love with confidence!
