Laundry is one of those everyday routines we rarely question. We wash, dry, fold, repeat. Without realizing that what we use on our clothes becomes something we wear all day, every day.

For women especially, laundry products are in constant contact with:

• Skin
• Sleepwear
• Workout clothes
• Bedding and towels
• Baby and children’s items

If there is one place to start non toxic living, this is it.

The Problem With Conventional Laundry

Most conventional detergents rely on three things:

• Synthetic fragrance blends
• Optical brighteners
• Harsh surfactants and mystery ingredients

These leave residues designed to cling to fabric. That “fresh scent” is not clean. It is chemicals engineered to stay behind.

For many women, this shows up as:

• Itchy or reactive skin
• Eczema flares
• Headaches from scent
• Hormone disruption
• Irritation in intimate areas
• Poor indoor air quality

Why We Chose to Carry Washed Up

We do not add products to Non Toxic Homes unless they solve a real problem.

Washed Up, founded by Linda and Logan, was created because so many “clean” detergents either did not work, or relied on fragrance workarounds that still felt like a compromise. Their approach checks both boxes:

• Truly non toxic ingredients
• 100% pure essential oils
• Small batch manufacturing in Texas
• Close relationships with suppliers

It is effective on real laundry. Gym clothes, kids’ stains, sheets. Without the chemical hangover.

Why Laundry Impacts Hormones

Skin is your largest organ. Whatever sits on clothing touches you for hours.

Synthetic fragrance and certain additives can act as endocrine disruptors, meaning they interfere with how hormones communicate. For women already dealing with:

• PMS
• Hormonal acne
• Thyroid imbalance
• Fertility concerns
• Sensitive skin

Laundry is often a hidden trigger.

Who Notices the Biggest Difference

• Moms
• Women with sensitive skin
• Anyone with migraines
• Those working on hormone health
• Families with kids in constant pajamas

Many people tell us laundry was the swap that finally made everything else feel easier.

How to Make the Switch Simple

You do not need to overhaul everything.

Start with:

• Sheets and pillowcases
• Underwear and workout wear
• Baby and kids’ clothes

Use up what you have, then replace intentionally.

Our Philosophy at Non Toxic Homes

Clean living is not about fear. It is about reducing the everyday load so your body can do what it already knows how to do.

Laundry is one of the quiet influences that touches almost everything in a home. We are proud to carry an option that works without compromise.
