Everything you might ask before your first scoop.

It's simpler than most laundry products, and that's the point. Washing soda does the heavy lifting — it raises the water's pH and lifts away everyday dirt and body oils. Baking soda softens water and helps with odors so the washing soda can work better. Epsom salt and sea salt round things out, helping the powder dissolve and keeping clothes feeling fresh. Together, those four ingredients handle the dirt that builds up in normal wear and washing.

We left out the fillers, dyes, optical brighteners, and synthetic fragrance that pad out most detergents. So while the ingredient list is short, every bit of what's in the box is doing real work.

For everyday dirt, sweat, and body oils, it does great on its own. For tougher set-in stains — grease, protein stains like blood or grass, or anything that's already dried in — we'll be honest with you: pre-treating first makes a real difference. Dab the spot, give it a minute, then wash as usual.

We don't add enzymes or harsh stain-fighting chemicals, which is part of what keeps the formula gentle. An enzyme-boosted version is something we're exploring for the future, but it isn't something we sell today.

Warm or hot water dissolves the powder best and gives you the strongest clean. It does work in cold water too — just give it a hand. Pre-dissolve a scoop in a cup of warm water and pour that into the drum before you start the cold cycle. That one small step keeps everything dissolving fully so you don't see any powder left behind.

It shouldn't, as long as the powder fully dissolves. The two things that cause residue are too much powder and water that's too cold to dissolve it. So stick to about one tablespoon per load, add it to the drum rather than the dispenser tray, and pre-dissolve a scoop for cold washes. Do that and your clothes come out clean and residue-free.

It's made with sensitive skin in mind. There's no synthetic fragrance, no dyes, no optical brighteners, and none of the harsh additives that commonly irritate skin. Many people choose our Unscented version for babies and for eczema-prone or reactive skin, since it has no added scent at all.

That said, everyone's skin is different and we're not able to make medical claims. If you have a known sensitivity, we'd suggest the Unscented powder and, as with any new product, watching how your skin responds at first.

Yes. The powder is low-sudsing, which is exactly what HE machines need, so it's safe in both HE and standard top- and front-loaders. Just add it straight to the drum rather than the detergent tray.

Yes. With no phosphates, chlorine bleach, or harsh synthetic additives, the powder is septic-safe and gentle on the systems your water flows into after the wash.

About one tablespoon for a normal load. For large or heavily soiled loads, use two. A little goes a long way — using more won't clean better and can leave residue, so it's worth measuring rather than eyeballing a big scoop.

Add it directly to the drum, right in with your clothes — not the dispenser tray. Powder can clump and stick in trays, so putting it straight in the drum helps it dissolve fully and reach your laundry. For cold washes, pre-dissolve a scoop in warm water first and pour that into the drum.

Absolutely. Dissolve a small scoop in a basin of warm water, let it dissolve fully, then add your items. Warm water helps it work best, and a good rinse afterward leaves everything clean.

Pick the size and schedule that fits how often you do laundry, and we'll ship it automatically so you never run out — and you save 15% on every order. It's the easiest way to keep clean powder on hand without thinking about it.

Anytime. Skip a shipment if you've got plenty on hand, or cancel altogether — no fees, no hoops, no awkward phone calls. You're always in control of your schedule.

You're charged at each shipment, not all upfront — so you only pay as each order goes out the door. Skip or cancel before a shipment and you won't be charged for it.
