8 Non Toxic Laundry Detergents That Actually Clean Your Clothes

Non toxic laundry detergent that actually works? Say less!

non toxic laundry detergent

Now that I’ve been using non toxic laundry detergents for a few years now, I can never go back to conventional!

So many ingredients in conventional laundry detergents are known toxins that cause serious health issues.

So why are we washing our clothes in them? I have no idea, but there are plenty of great non toxic laundry detergents to use that will keep your clothes clean, fresh, and bright!

This post is all about the very best non toxic laundry detergent.

Before we get to the list of best non toxic laundry detergents, I wanted to share some ingredients you should avoid.

Toxic ingredients to avoid in detergent:

  • Sulfates
  • Synthetics fragrances
  • Bleach
  • Parabens
  • Formaldehyde
  • Dyes
  • Optical brighteners
  • Chlorine
  • 1,4-Dioxane
  • Methylisothiazolinone
  • Phthalates
  • Phosphates
  • Synthetic Nonylphenol Ethoxylates
  • Propylene glycol
  • Ethanolamine

It’s important to avoid these ingredients because they can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, acne, and disrupt your hormones, just to name a few.

All of the detergents I’ve listed below have none of these toxic ingredients and clean your clothes EVEN BETTER than conventional detergents.

1. Truly Free

This is by far my favorite laundry detergent I have ever tried. Your laundry will smell so fresh and clean afterward!

I also love the refillable packets. You start with a detergent packet and a bottle. Then, you only have to order the refillable laundry detergent packets afterward.

ProsCons
Smells amazingSome may not like the smell (there is an unscented version)
Sustainable detergent refill packets
Clothes smell clean and fresh for weeks!

2. Molly Suds

This is my second favorite laundry detergent I’ve tried. It cleans really well and I love how refreshing the peppermint scent is!

The bag is also really big, so it lasts a long time; however, it is plastic, so it’s not the most sustainable option.

ProsCons
Has a fresh peppermint scentPlastic packaging
Gets rid of odors
Good for sensitive skin
body aesthetics

3. Branch Basics

The best part about Branch Basics laundry is their oxygen boost powder. It gets the stains out really well and helps to whiten and brighten your clothes.

The only thing I don’t love about Branch Basics laundry detergent is that they say you only have to use 3/4 of a cap per load, and the cap is tiny. It’s probably just a little over a tablespoon.

I never felt like my clothes were getting very clean with that little amount! Maybe it’s because I’m used to overusing detergent.

It also has no smell, so I always had to use the oxygen boost powder with the detergent to fight odors.

ProsCons
Oxygen boost gets rid of odorsMight not feel “clean” enough for some
Oxygen boost whitens, brightens, and gets rid of stainsDoesn’t have a fresh scent
Sustainable glass container option
body acne scar remedies

4. Blueland

Blueland has the cutest packaging! I love their little laundry tablet tin. You start off with the tin and laundry tablets, then you buy the tablets in a bag to refill. I just love the way this tin looks on the shelf!

ProsCons
SustainableSome people may not like the aesthetic of the tin
Paper package is compostableSome may prefer unscented
Comes in a cute tin
Easy to use (kids can help out!)
Clean, fresh scent

5. Vinegar

That’s right! You can use vinegar to clean your clothes. It’s that simple.

And no, your clothes will not smell like vinegar. I usually add vinegar to my laundry cycles along with my detergent, but if you really want to go completely natural, you can use vinegar alone!

ProsCons
Cost effectiveSome may not like that it doesn’t have a scent
Completely natural
Gets rid of odors
Softens hard water
non toxic laundry scent booster

6. Charlie’s Soap

This is a really solid laundry detergent. It cleans really well, and I love how sudsy it gets!

It doesn’t have a strong fragrance, which I also liked. You just need one scoop per load, which lasts a long time.

ProsCons
SudsyPlastic packaging
Long-lasting
No harsh fragrances
Effective cleaning power
Gets rid of odors

7. Borax

Okay I looveee Borax. I always put it in my laundry. I like to use Borax along with my detergent, but you can totally use it on its own.

Whenever I don’t use Borax, my clothes are noticeably less clean. I also love how cheap it is. I literally have no cons!

ProsCons
Gets rid of stains
Brightens
No harsh fragrances
Effective cleaning power
Gets rid of odors
Cost effective

8. Zum

Whenever I use this detergent, it fills my entire laundry room with the fresh smell of lavender, and I love it! It’s also very inexpensive for such a big bottle.

ProsCons
Smells greatSome may not like fragrance
All natural fragrances
Gets rid of odors
Cost effective
