Yes! Our detergents are optimized for all machines (front-loaders, top-loaders, standard, high-efficiency, you name it), septic systems, and water systems!
Our Laundry Detergent Powders work best when added directly to the drum of your washing machine! It's the best way to ensure that the powder fully enters the wash and that there is no unnecessary build-up in your dispenser cup over time.
Yes you can! Our Laundry Detergent Powders will fully dissolve and wash effectively in any water temperature.
Not at all! We scent our Laundry Detergent Sheets with 100% pure essential oils—which equates to a very light, clean scent out of the washing machine. We also have an unscented option for those wanting Laundry Detergent Powder free from essential oils.
Yes! We are a Leaping Bunny approved company. All of our laundry detergent powders are vegan, cruelty-free, and absolutely never tested on animals.

Oxygen Brightening Powder will brighten, whiten and deodorize your clothes and add extra softening power to your water. It is safe to use on colors―removing the dinginess and build-up that accumulates over time and reviving fabrics to their original vibrant selves.
Always spot test prior to use for colorfastness. Always defer to garment label directions. Do not use on upholstered furniture, wool blends, leather, silk blends, or fabrics labeled for dry clean only. Do not mix with products containing ammonia or chlorine bleach.
To spot test: Dampen a clean, white cloth. Rub the wet cloth on an interior seam or hem of a colored garment. If any color comes off onto the white cloth, then the item is not colorfast and the dye will run when the garment is washed.
There's no shortage of uses when it comes to our Oxygen Brightening Powders! Check out our user guide here to get the most out of your new multi-purpose cleaning companion! Below are a few to get started:
Boost: Sprinkle 2 scoops (1 TBSP) directly into drum before adding laundry. Do not use with wool or silk.
Soak: Add 4 scoops and laundry to tub with hot water, soak for 1-2 hours, then wash as normal
Stain Remover: Make a paste with powder and hot water, rub directly onto the stain, let sit for 15-20 minutes, rinse, then wash as normal
If your laundry contains dingy and dull clothes and linens, extra stinky clothes, workout wear or if you'd just like the extra boost in cleaning power.
Synthetics that absorb oils and odors are great for soaks. Check the label to ensure fabric can withstand hot temperatures. For fabrics more sensitive to hot temperatures, let solution cool slightly before submerging clothes. A soak is also effective for whitening yellowed linens, curtains, armpit stains or deodorizing and cleaning tennis shoes.

The 🌟 of our Oxygen Brightening Powder is sodium percarbonate―a granular ingredient that oxidizes and cleans via its active ingredient hydrogen peroxide. When you add water, this compound releases oxygen (causing it to fiz). As this happens, the stain (and overall dinginess) is broken down and lifted off of the fabric. It is a safe and effective alternative to chlorine bleach with a wide variety of uses!

The wool for our Wool Dryer Balls is sourced in New Zealand because of their higher standards in how they tend to their sheep!

Each of our Essential Oil blends contain their own unique trio of 100% pure essential oils. Each of the Essential Oil blends we sell are the exact same that we use to scent our respective laundry products.
Because our Essential Oils are 100% pure, by their own nature (literally) they may vary slightly from season to season. We do not add isolated compounds to the oil to try to standardize the naturally occurring variations of a particular oil. We take both the organoleptic (sight, smell, and taste) and chemical properties into account when selecting and testing our Essential Oils.
There is no official grading system that grades essential oils as A, B, C or Therapeutic grade. All of our pure Essential Oils are accurately labeled as such and are the highest purity and quality available.
FDA regulations state that natural product labeling, including all website claims as well as product label content, cannot legally suggest that a product intended for topical or aromatherapeutic use be taken internally without labeling the product as food.
